Stealth PPF

Those that have it: I know it looks amazing, but as far as ease of cleaning, scratch and ding resistance, otherwise functional elements: Thoughts?
Also, any benefits of ceramic coating on top or waste of money? Or otherwise negatively affect look of stealth? I was quoted $5,600 including regular gloss PPF on trim and CF accessories so this seems reasonable from my research. Car is Black Sapphire

PPF does nothing to stop dings. 5600 sounds about right. As for scratching, yes it helps.

I have my entire car PPF'd and coated. It basically looks clean all the time. From a protection stand point I've had a tree branch drop on it and I've had a piece of metal slap it going 90. There was no damage to the car. They just had to replace the piece of film that was scuffed up. I was skeptical at first but if you truly love your car it's worth every penny.

Stealth? If so, what coating do you have on it?

I will ask the shop when I bring it back in for the CF side skirts and let you know.

Since my $5600 quote above, I’ve had another shop in a 10 mile radius quote $10.5k. Both shops are very highly rated. They are using 2 different brands of film, but that certainly doesn’t cover that variance

I'm in the NY area and my quotes now are in the $7k ($6900-$7500) range for a full car. One shop was XPel and the other was SunTek. Now I am thinking of just doing Ceramic Coating (that is $1600). It isn't protected against minor scuffs and paint chips but against tree sap and bird droppings. Does that seem like a good price for ceramic coating (3-year warranty)?
