Any body do your entire hood and fenders? How long have you had it?
Would you do it again?

 

Had the full front of car done in August a week after picking up my GTS...no issues and would do it again. There are already a few nics in it which would have been paint chips if it was not there. I also had it on my previous two cars. I have Xpel Ulitimate which is supposedly the best option but I do wonder if there is a film that is not as soft and more resistant to rocks.

 

Thanks for the info. I have half the hood on my 997 done with the original 3M material and have been happy with that although I think the Xpel looks better. It was very new at the time so I went with 3M. The original 3m is thicker than Xpel and may be more resistant but it doesn't come in sheets big enough to do the whole hood. I think it is asking a lot to be totally rock resistant.

 

Have full front panels with 3M film for the last three years, it still looks great, and barely visible. Clearly do it again.

 

A good installer is key. Make sure you find someone that has done lots of high line cars. I recently had film put on full hood and fenders and can't even tell it is covered. I would absolutely recommend it. Good luck.

 

My 2014 GTS has had the full hood/fenders/wheel arch extensions/bumper/skid plate (painted piece under the front bumper),headlights and mirror caps covered in Suntek PPF-C.
I first had the entire vehicle polished then opti-coat pro applied,then the PPF was
Installed then also was opti-coated.

It has been 3 months and about 3k miles of touring with no chips or scratches on the entire front end.
I hand wash my vehicle every week have not seen or felt any imperfections.

The GTS is my DD and our touring vehicle. We run a combo of interstate and two lane blacktop on our road trips.

I keep my vehicles longer than most so this was worth it to me.

Cheers!

 

I have full wrap on all 3 cars with Xpel done by Moe @ GP (He is in the detailing section, you should ask him since he has a lot of experience with this material)

The longest one is over 2 years and I rewrap/switched from 3M, couldn't be happier, it is more clear and it is still looking like new (Moe did a nano treatment on it).

I did 3M, Suntek and Preestige film by Premier, so far in my experience, I like Xpel the best.

 

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm going with Xpel for the full wrap on front end.
