- 16 GT Premium PP Recaros; 86 GT 'Vert Pro-touring
FWIW, I had the front grill area/hood/fenders, door edges and mirrors done with 3M PPF on my 2016 GT. The guy who did the work used to work for 3M traveling the world training people on how to install 3M's product. I found him just after he started his own shop.
Just went out and looked at my car and if there are relief cuts he blended them into body lines/ridges to be invisible. The only place you can see the seams is where he stopped on the hood and fenders. He also fixed any lifting or other imperfections (very few) after the install. He is very good.
In fact, he did PPF on my '86 GT 'Vert Pro Touring car. On this he did a full custom job since there were no pre-cut kits for an '86 GT. He measured, took templates, fit, cut and hid the seams and relief cuts exactly the same way. The '16 is Magnetic in color; the '86 is an Acura grey called Polished Steel. Unless the car is dirty (dust collects at the seams), one can't tell the PPF is there unless one looks very closely.
Sorry to hear of your problems. I know how pricy PPF can be. But I've had the PPF on the '16 since new (now has 35K on it) and it is holding up outstandingly even after two dozen or so track days.
