Door handles removed, and doors done in one piece, with no seams. roof and windshield trim removed PPF tucked, and rolled. black window trim is even PPFd. Wheels removed CCB calipers ceramic coated. Wheels airbrush ceramic coated, and heat lamp cured. $7,000.

Original quote was $8,300. I had a 10% Veteran/ LE discount, as well as a little discount for referring 3 other people there, who ended up spending about $5,000 as well.

I had my windows tinted at a different shop, because that shop had always done my tint. I paid an additional $970 for that. So, out the door price, for both, $7,970.

XPel Prime XR Plus, is considered the best tint you can buy for heat rejection. I go back and forth between XPel and Formula One Stratos. Stratos is a little more Gray/Black, while XPel is a little more Black/ Blue. The blue hue is from the ceramic content in the film. It's not a blue you can really even notice, until you put it next to a film that is black/ gray.

In the pictures, the single window is Prime XR Plus, and then my car done in Formula One Stratos.

Hey thanks for the reply! Also shoutout to you, I'm a Bay Area guy born and bred, just recently moved for the time being.

Yeah what you've described is the type of quality work "my shop" will end up doing. After touring their facility and seeing the Ferraris and Rolls Royce's and other bimmers, I felt confident in their abilities. I think they're gonna be able to do full ppf, ceramic exterior, ceramic interior, ceramic wheels, and tint for $8k which is nearly exactly what you ended up paying. Makes sense for my use case.

Beautiful car! Thanks for the pics

I can't blame you. I grew up here, but, I lived in Glendale, Surprise and Verrado, for the 10 years I lived there, on Active Duty. Great place. I miss it. It'll be 112° this week, at my house, I live a little North of Sac where it's much hotter than the bay.

chicagofan00 commented on how their work is, so, I think you'll be fine. He always know what he's talking about. When I dropped my car off at my local shop to get done, I was amongst good company when I saw a Miami blue 992 Turbo S, 3 Model S Plaids, and 2 Model Xs and a Java Green RS6 Avant.

Go look at the expensive shops work, workplace, and staff.

Then go compare the cheapest quote.

With wrap shops you tend to get what you pay for, especially when it comes to issues down the line.

Wow, that's not a bad price at all, especially when they tuck everything under the door handles, lights, badges, etc.
I couldn't find a shop near me that did all that who could accommodate the schedule, and without outrageous price.
Mine is not tucked in around the badges, lights, etc.

They didn't accommodate my schedule. I did theirs. They had my car for about 14 days.

I’m in Phoenix as well and was quoted about $7500 for full stealth PPF by Echelon Motorsports in Scottsdale for the M4 6MT I have on order. They wrapped another of my cars and did a very good job. Another of my cars was wrapped my Colorbomb in Tempe and they also did an amazing job, but I haven’t had a chance to ask them for a quote yet.

Same exact rate for stealth ppf from az auto aesthetics. Looks like that's the standard these days

I wouldn't assume PPF lasts forever. It's eventually going to get dinged up or could discolor, and you'll have to probably replace at least some portion of in the future. Also, if something bad happens to the car, that's $$$ you'll never get back. However, it certainly could give some nice piece of mind. Only you can decide if it's worth it or not, but nothing is forever.

while it wont last forever, it does have a 10 year warranty. For the amount i'll be driving this car and for where i live, it'll make sense to get.

I did full Xpel Matte PPF on my BG and came out amazing. I wouldn't go back. It was a great option. I wanted to get a frozen color but then it will need PPF. Not best of both worlds.

Looks incredible dude! It looks a bit more like an off white in a few of those photos which is pretty cool. Bet it takes on some different shades throughout the day. They did a killer job on the wrap

Xpel is old news.

A little more expensive material cost but Kavaca is what all the high end cars getting installed here in Hawaii now. My third job with my current pro and this stuff is killa. Ill have car back on Monday after 10 day process of full car Kavaca 2nd gen, interior Kavaca (they have pattern for buckets and trims), life time Ceramic Pro full interior and exterior coatings, ppf/ceramic aftermarket splitter/side skirts/rear corner diffusers, and several accessories.

Kavaca is owned by Ceramic Pro and is proven to be the only stackable solution. Attached is a pic of a Ferrari Monza that was in their shop and later paced for indy 500 with a 5 layer ceramic>kavaca>3 layer ceramic. This is a double lifetime coat as Kavaca is already Ceramic Pro infused and is very resistant to water spotting and sun damage.

Additionally, maintenance is 200$ that includes full correction and reapplication in effected areas for lifetime. I do this at least every 6mos. It stays fresh as first day i picked it from my pro. 4 years on last car and never aged even with gen 1 Kavaca. New stuff is improved.

Im a repeat customer so was 7475$ for everything and well worth in my opinion.

That sounds luxurious and amazing, but sadly I don't think there is a detailer or installer in my state that does that kind of paint protection. Does sound good though! Ferrari looks amazing
