I found a shop near the dealership and it has arrived and is starting to be worked on! Doing full Xpel PPF and full ceramic coating. Quote was $9k or so, but got a discount so only paying about $7,000 for the entire car interior and exterior plus tint.
Thank you all!!!

I have full front, headlights, carbon fiber mirror caps ppf, carbon fiber side vernt ppf, door sill, lower part of doors, and the rear bumper (partial ppf)...in all was about $4K....full body may be around $7K I would think...enjoy the ride.

Thank you so much! I originally had Black Sapphire Metallic as I wanted it "murdered out", but after seeing the Tanzanite in person (even on a cloudy day), I had to go that route. I also had Cognac interior (which I still think I prefer over the Tartufo, color wise), however I didn't want fake leather seats on a loaded vehicle...just didn't feel right haha.
I appreciate your reply!

Give him a yoller.
Don’t worry about brand as much. Just stick with one of the top well known brands. Their top level films all look amazing. (Do stay away from 3M PPF tho.)
Suntek Reaction
Stek

Just like you got what you paid for the
fully loaded vehicle. You get what you pay for with PPF.
Won’t be getting getting a $120k suv for 50k and won’t be getting full body ppf installed clean and properly for $5k.
If full ppf is in your budget you won’t regret it will a proper install.
Congrats and good luck!

Thanks friend!

Thanks for the input! I'm glad I didn't end up paying that much, so I appreciate it!!

You're not going to retain much additional value vs what it'll cost you in a sale of the car if you PPF and it's heavily a cosmetic luxury. Sounds like minor chips etc will bother you though, but will they $7K bother you?

What do you mean tinted glass vs window tint? I am having full PPF+ceramic done, and then the front seat windows tinted to match the rest of the car.
And yes, it will $7k bother me lol I already feel good about getting this done, no point in spending 6 figures on a car and not spending a bit more to ensure it's fully protected. The mental peace of mind is worth it to me.
