Not sure what you mean - the pros and cons are obvious. I have applied emblems under and over PPF and it is up to the person. If one has no intentions of ever removing a decal put the PPF over it since it will not peel off that way.

My Badddd on my original post below.
I should have clarified my reply Much-much better to your question above.
There will be No PPF over any area that the Custom Graphics are done.
(Meaning the Custom Graphics are Not where the PPF will be applied)
I should pay closer attention to my wording !!!


(1) Custom Graphics by the Wrap-Lab

(2) Then to Marlins for Paint Correction preparation for the PPF at Tru Shine Inc. which is located physically super close to Marlins.
After Tru Shine Inc does the Ultimate Track Package PPF.


(3) He (Marlins) will be doing the CarPro Ceramic Pro Gold Package
Which includes 4 9h layers & 1 layer of hydrophobic top coat.
Includes Life Time Warranty with proper maintenance.

See packages below I'm choosing:

I wasn’t asking a general, how-is-this-done type of question.

As you say, it’s up to the PERSON. I am asking TERRY how HE is choosing to install the graphics (under or over the ppf). Is he asking them to install under the ppf or over the ppf.
There is a PM option for personal questions. In virtually every thread when a question is asked people will chime in, which is a good idea IMO to obtain different opinions for others since that is the reason a forum exists in the first place.

I’ve sent you a PM.

I did not intend my comments to be inflammatory or cause offense. I agree, a public forum is about sharing and exchanging information and opinions. My intent was positive.

Guys,

Here is why the PPF will not be where the Custom Graphics are located.

These are samples only as we Matt & Myself are waiting for the Mock/Up from The Wrap Lab to give final approval.
But, this is the general idea for this discussion on locations involved.

You don’t get these from the “sticker store”!

SpeedySpidey,

Well my Good-Man those go back to years and years ago when I was doing the Serious Racing sort of thing.
I use to go through vehicles so frequently that my insurance company would actually be multiple vehicles behind.
I would attempt to post those on here but it would take Way-way to much room.

The last Super-Moderated car was the 2008 Limited-Edition Bullitt Mustang.
I actually owned the only (as far as we know) 5-speed automatic 2008 Bullitt Mustang in the World with 1,000 H/P at the crank.
A lot of those stickers came from the years I owned that Mustang.
If your truly interested here is that 2008 Bullitt Mustang that was built by Brenspeed Engineering & Performance in Pierceton, Indiana USA.

I'm betting that Mickey Thompson sticker is among the oldest in the collection.
It's fun seeing old stickers. Remember those by AC, Hush Thrush, Mallory, Accel, SUN, Moon, Hooker, Mickey Thompson, Crane, Holley, NGK, Bosch, STP, Paxton, Edelbrock, etc?
oops, dated myself.

Me and my older brother can easily relate to all those stickers.
He is now 79 and I am now 76 so we do go Way-way back with the earlier performance cars for sure.
Here's some pics of one of my brother's Vettes.

I was also heavy into the Sport/Racing bikes for a great many years.
Any of you guys remember the 6-cylinder CBX Honda???
Yes I had one and a great many more over the years.
If any of you are from Chicago and happen to be older.
I also had a Modified 6-cylinder water-cooled Kawasaki that I sent to Mr. Turbo in Chicago.
He installed the Turbo that also included Water-Injection and lengthened the stance of it.



I also had a Super Highly Modified Suzuki that was a 1500cc Stroked engine with NOS and it was Way-way beyond Bad-*** !!!
I was written up in a local magazine with that machine.
It was Very-very well known.
I went by the nickname "Slick" back in my Wild-Bike-Days.





























Brother's 61 Vette he use to Drag-Race it back in the day .............












Here are some of Trophies from back then.



Below is one of the Racing engines he ran.




Talk about back when we were young guys.
My Brother and Dad with the 1st Vette he had.






And a Bonus for those of you that are Older and were into the early days of Drag-Racing.
Same Brother with his 55 Chevy.






Okay before I bore you to death.
Here's one of my Many-many Mustangs that always ran Paxton Superchargers back then.








My Badddddddddddddddd

For you Chevy loving fellows............
Yes I also owned a 1970 SS Chevelle.
It had a Crate 454 470H/P LS-7 engine.
I had it totally redone mechanically as well as exterior and added factory A/C to boot.
There is not much that I haven't or done since the Mid 60's guys.











My-my the things I've had and done over my 76-years.

Terry

Fantastic post Terry of your "maniac" days.
Man, you had some beautiful machines, both bikes and cars.

Seeing your 2008 Mustang Bullitt (the "tigermachine") brought back some fond memories:
When you let me drive it and give a ride to my brother at one of the Texas Shootout events in Lufkin, TX.
That was the second time you let me drive it, the first when it still had the manual gearbox.
The second time you had installed the automatic and it was a real beast.
I never got the accelerator near the floor as no way was I going to have your jewel end up in a ditch.
Also, my brother had enough thrills at about 2/3rds throttle and didn't want any more, lol.

Thanks for posting my friend.
I love these trips down memory lane, re-living our crazy youthful years of adrenaline rushes.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi Tom,

I think it's easy for the younger generation to see us as older guys now to not think we were as Crazy as we were.
Honestly it's a wonder I'm still above ground buddy.

And yes the 2008 Limited Edition Bullitt Mustang was certainly a Crowd Favorite for sure.
On the Bullitt Mustang internet site it had over 560,000 views !!!

Just for you Tom Cochran ................
These two pictures will bring back those days.
2nd picture me getting some much needed assistance opening a Cold-Beer for me.
My right hand was so sore from the 17-back to back passes I couldn't open the Beer.
Which as you can see actually worked out A-OK with the Little Doll assisting me on that endeavor.
