Ya, hell no. No way I'd do it myself. I'm sure I maaaay be able to get it looking pretty good, but I would probably waste more material then it would cost for me to pay someone to do it. These guys do this all day long, every day, I'm pretty good at detailing my car with the traditional...

Well, haha, I see your point. It all depends on the installer/detailer. The place I went to was a partnership (detailer and PPF installer and they work together in the same shop). He did "new car prep", which includes paint correction, my car is smooth as a newborn baby on Christmas day. And...

My PPF looks awesome. I have no reservations. I also got the whole car coated with CQuartz Finest. Looks great. No wax, no polish, just wax and renew with detailer. Sounds like it's too easy. My first car to do this. I'm use to the Zaino Claybar, Z5, Z2, Z8 system. I'm impressed so far...

Lightning Blue is like crack for cars. R

Nice Jim, so jealous you're still driving it! I haven't driven mine for like a month...I'm having serious withdrawals...

Haha, ya, well you're prolly in a state of happiness since you got it back, and all these issues, you look at them in disbelief that the mechanic fixing your car would care so little about his/their work. And they took their time doing it too...anyway, good luck with the dealer, still be cool...

Jesus Christ. Just kinda boggles my mind how this was such a poor install. Just strengthens my opinion that dealerships can be as bad as I think they are. Kyle, I know I originally told you to keep it cool, but shit bro, all these missing components, shitty install, just pathetic and it makes...

Haha, funny thing is, I had a hard time staying below 3000RPM...maybe that's just me. I was constantly between 3500-4000rpm. Great sound. It's quite reasonable cruising though. ...yes I tried cruise control in my R lol

So lucky you're in Florida! You can actually have time to enjoy it when you get it!

looks great Jim. Should look even awesome once you get the splitter on! I managed to drive around for an entire weekend without rubbing the splitter. It's not too bad.

Ya, totally cool, prolly where most of the stuff will hit. If you're tracking it you may want to consider the rear quarter panels in front of the wheel. The installer says they're very prone to getting chipped. ITLRUN, on this forum, drove it home and got a chip there...I believe it was him...

Oh and considering all the stuff I listed above is a huge portion of high impact areas, I didn't feel the whole car PPF covering was worth it at more than double the price. It's about 154% more expensive, due to the amount of waste cutting the other panels (he doesn't use kits...full sheets he...

Thanks Jayson! Ah, yes, haha. I guess I forgot to mention what they actually covered. This is what I got done. According to the installer, this will avoid most chips. He said, out of all his clients the only ones who do the entire car are the ones who track like every weekend. You can't...

Hey all, so I thought I'd update this thread with what I did to my R. I got new car prep, which includes getting rid of any scuffs, scratches, transfers, etc...car got fully washed, then was coated with PPF, and then washed again, polished, then the entire car was coated with CQuartz Finest...

You have any pics from the front of the car Jim?

Haha, thanks Jim! Mine is all stowed away for the winter. Having R withdrawals this weekend...I have today off too :(

Yup, R goes to the upfitter. But Ford performance was able to tell me that mine was currently at the "upfitter"

Honestly, I think my pics are decent but I still say it's not fully capturing the vibrance of the blue. It must be seen in person. The camera simply doesn't have the dynamic range to capture it. It's pretty awesome in cloudy weather too, turns like a dark, moody blue.

Nice. The colour attracts attention for sure. I was at MCD and I saw 3 Corvettes drive into the parking lot. They didn't go anywhere so I think their sole reason was to look at the R. They waited for me to come out just to see it. Lol, I enjoyed showing it to the vette guys. They were really...

Oh I know! I only put about 400km (250mi) on it! I don't think my R would do to well in the snow lol
