Looks great...

i'm curious

do ppl ever do their whole car in PPF? or is it too expensive? or at least the whole bonnet?

i've noticed on cars in my area (it's a desert) that the edge of the ppf on the bonnet always captures dirt and dust in the lip and leaves a noticable line across it...

when u advertise on ppl's cars.. do they have the option to not have it on their window? or do u offer them a discounted price for displaying your logo?

yah, the best part about how you or your guy is doing it, the clearbra is wrapped and tucked under the frontal plane of the panel for full protection. almost all the pre-cuts ive seen it stops about 2-3mm short of the edge...and it's that damn edge that gets the chips.



congrats to your wifey for her new ride.
