PPF in MA/CT

[Stagger72]

Hi all - realize PPF has been covered in length on other threads, but does anyone have any recommendations for install shops in either central MA (Springfield/Worcester) or Fairfield Country, CT (Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, etc.)? Also, given pricing varies by region/product, what should I expect the cost to be for a high impact package (full front, rockers, etc.) vs. full wrap?

I've done some research on shops, but don't know anyone who's done PPF in this area and I received one quote so far but just trying to get a sense of the market plus any recommendations (I don't know anyone who's done PPF around here).

Also, for anyone who's only done a high impact package, any regrets given likely seams, edge of film dirt/maintenance, or mismatch of paint once peeled for non-PPF vs. PPF sections?

And one final one, any questions I should be asking the shop about the install or be thinking about PPF in general specifically related to the gt350 (outside of standard Qs)? Basically a "if I had known at the time, I would have...."

Thanks for all the help!

I used Autobahnd in Upton, MA, Xpel Ultimate Plus front cut to stripes, mirrors, rear quarter panels, very happy with their work.

Go on the Xpel web site, and look up authorized dealers in your area. At least you'll get a reputable place.

Thanks, that's a good resource but hoping to find someone that's had a wrap done in the area and can give a good recommendation. Sadly, just because a shop is an authorized dealer, doesn't mean they're good installers.

I used Automobilia in CT who is the authorized XPEL installer on my GT PP. they did a really nice job, could not even tell the ppf was there. just did the front bumper kit. Wasn’t a single chip when I traded it for my gt350 Several years later.

going to do the same on the gt350 this spring. Looks like there is a kit for stripes that does not cover the stripes.

Look for a dealer who's been doing PPF for many years. Generally they should be better experienced, than many of these new detailing shops I've seen pop up over the last 2-3 years. Many of these shops are run by young guys in their 20's to 30, and have just started getting into PPF. No way yet they have the experience to do a proper job. They offer prices sometimes several thousands less than other, more experienced places. But you get what you pay for in the end.
And go and visit these shops. Most will let you walk through, and see their operation. You'll get an instant feel for the quality of their work, by the cleanliness of the place.
And finally, the criteria that sold me on the place I chose:
Seeing the shop filled with Ferrari's, Lambourghini's, etc, some costing over $1 million, I knew this was a place I could trust to properly do a good job.

Thanks! That is definitely helpful and makes sense.

Look up Coverup solutions, amazing work, he did my gt350. Look him up on fb and instagram, he usually does exotics majority of the time. In NH, you won't pay sales tax on anything and only about an hour from worcester.

You will be very pleased. He did my Explorer ST as well prior. Where abouts are you in NH? You can PM if you prefer. Nice to see someone else local with one.
