Hi, I'm considering getting PPF for the front end... any recommendations for installers in the Bay Area? Particularly an installer who has wrapped the entire hood including the strips with minimal air gap.

Thanks in advance guys!!!

BTW, loving my 2019 GT350 so far, hands down the most fun car I have ever owned! :like:

You caught me, definitely spray wax! :clap: I have looked up installers on Yelp, but I've read many horror stories of installers not wrapping the GT350 bumper correctly, as well as over the stripes (leaving noticeable air gaps). So just looking for an installer that has "been there and done that, correctly".

They did a great job on my car, and they've taken care of me whenever I had any issues. Owner's name is Joe and he's the real deal. https://www.yelp.com/biz/ocdetailing-fremont?osq=ocdetailing
Thanks, do you mind posting some close ups photos of the bumper area and over the stripes? Did they fully wrap the bumper around the corners so that you cannot notice/see the PPF? Also, is there any noticeable air gaps on the racing stripe edges?

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

They wrap around all edges, and everything is custom wrapped for the best results.
You do see the line right next to the stripes because it's not completely flat. You can minimize it by pressing along the edges after you wash the car to help close the gap.
