PPF Question

It really depends on the shop and the level of trust you have in them. Those cars are not specifically difficult to take apart, so as long ss they follow the manual and take the necessary precautions, I wouldnt be worried. And that will give a better overall finish.

My 812SF is completely PPF wrapped, and they didn’t remove any emblems for it. That may just be how they do it, but I feel like they did a great job on it. Every shop will be slightly different

 

100% coverage of the exterior is what I recommend. Also, I had them do ceramic coating on top, although many others feel like that step is unnecessary. I use Exoshield on the front windshield. I installed Suntek because, at the time, it was the only manufacturer that had rolls big enough to prevent having to use a seam or notch on the front hood of the 812. That may have changed in the last couple years. All my other cars are Xpel. I enjoy having a certain measure of protection on my cars, but mostly I love never having to wash them. All they really require is a squirt of quick detailer and a microfiber and I am good to go. No swirls. No buffing.

 

Stek film also has the ability to do the hood in 1 full piece. It doesn't need a ceramic coating on top, but it is usually offered by the install company. Like Thecadster said, you should check if they'll be able to do the hood in 1 full piece.

 

Yeah they should be able to use xpel and not show any seams now. I have xpel on my GTS and it has no seams. My SF has seams using xpel but that was before they made a change.

 

Hood is all one piece nowadays.

On my F12 the hood didn’t have seems, it had exposed notches at the top of the hood by the windshield. It was odd, but it was either that or have seems in the hood. Glad the industry adapted to larger rolls for more complete coverage.

 

Yes it was the same installer. Xpel just came out with a larger roll I believe between 2018 and 2020.
