Mineral Grey getting SunTek PPF done :)

It's coming out so clean. Loving it. Should have done it sooner before I got some blemishes on the front bumper.

Curious as to other's experiences that have had this done. My installer has 16 years experience and is one of the most reliable in the area. Going on 4 hours for the front bumper. First one he's done and it's kicking his ass but it's coming out great.

Probably the same shop. Auto Paint Guard. Ryan is the owner. I wouldn't go anywhere else. He does Xpel also.

Yeah that's the one! Good to know. Any reason for one choice of wrap over another?

Yeah I'd recommend the bonnet/hood if possible however I'm not a fan of the partial. I'd want full coverage.

I just did the front bumper and headlights. A reputable shop in Florida will charge somewhere between $1500 -2000 to do your entire front (hood, fenders, bumper, lights and mirrors.
