[M4CompConv/X7]

I have pretty much made the decision to put XPEL PPF on my 2022 M4 Convertible (if it ever gets here). In November, I bought a 2022 X7 and had the XPEL installed on the front facing surfaces (Bumper, mirror caps, headlights, grill, etc.) and the entire hood.
That being said, I'd consider the same on the G83, but am leaning toward the whole car. If the decision to use PPF has been made, what are your thoughts on how much coverage? If I just do the front, I'm also considering the area just forward of the rear wheel opening. It's quite pricy to do the whole car, but am interested in hearing from those who have, or intend to have, regarding your reasoning on how much coverage you decided on...

I have a g83 getting delivered sometime this week or next and I am getting the entire car wrapped in stealth. The reason being is that I really wanted a frozen Portimao Blue but the price of the color and protecting it would of been way more than just ordering the non frozen color and wrapping it in stealth to get the same effect. Price quoted for the entire car, ceramic coating and wheels coated as well was $6500.

Frozen Paint is $3600 plus just wrapping the front and ceramic coating would have been between $2500 and $3000.

Be realistic with yourself on the length of your ownership and that will make your decision easier.

I did the entire car but having frozen potamao and a heavy rainy season pushed me
To that decision

I got my G83 a few weeks ago and went through the same thought process trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I ended up doing getting XPEL on the front clip and ceramic on the whole car. I thought about my driving situation (not a lot of highway, living in Georgia so not a lot of sand/salt/muck on the roads compared to anywhere that gets snow, etc.) as well as the color of the car (Tanzanite) and a slightly easier wash every couple of weeks. I'm not sure how long I'll keep it but figured I'd give a shot for some peace of mind. I ended up paying $3200 for the work - probably an average deal.
