Free PPF, I say! Going strong for almost 4 months now. Plus, the yellow tab on the bottom left makes me feel like I have a brand-new car still.

Yes, before I left the dealers lot. Never thought of it as free PPF though, nice one!

No, because at 27 months I'm afraid it will take the head unit out with it. Plus, it serves to make certain passengers crazy.

I just keep forgetting TBH. I never use the PCM at all, can’t hear it anyway. Took delivery of my car 7/2020.

Before I drove it off the lot. I'm not one for leaving plastic on the furniture.

LOL! Guilty.

2.5 years later, and the factory film it is still on my screen.

I remember when my sales guy was showing me all my car's features on delivery day, and he noticed that the PDI guys had left that film on. He said something like "They were supposed to remove that...", and I was like "DON'T TOUCH IT!"

I've still got it on BOTH of my 718 cars. It's silly how perfect it is...which is the only reason it's still hanging around.

...at the first sign of a micro-bubble...it will be GONE.

Some months ago I finally took the plastic cover off.
Made seeing and reading the display easier.
Especially on Super bright sunny days.
I did retain that plastic cover so I could put it back on if I traded or sold the GT4.
















I placed the semi-clear plastic cover in one of these bags if I ever wanted to replace it.

Still on all the cars except the Turbo S. I leave it because it does limit finger prints and glare a little

was literally the first thing i did when i sat in my car lol. I hate that little tab, but also because it limits brightness and adds this matte finish to the screen which makes it harder to read.

I left it on. Is it bad that I still have the blue film on my pedals as well? The pedals, I'll clean up once I take my car out of winter storage. But the screen, I'll leave it on until it bubbles...
