@tifosiman I suppose everyone has their own way of doing things. This is mine.

I have the 3M film on the 951 from the windshield forward, and in place of the stone guards around the wheel arches (and even doubled-up in front of the rear wheels). Also did 100% of my 911. You have to know it's there to see it. A friend of mine had his GT4 judged at a PCA concours and none of the judges even noticed until he told them. 3M and Expel are competitors, and there are a few others. I'm a believer in 3M, but to your point above, it all comes down to the installer. I'd take Expel by a great installer over 3M slapped on by a hack. Our local PPF sevant spent nearly a month fully wrapping the 911, as a reference point. He's probably the extreme, but run fast from anyone who wants to install a pre-cut "kit" over an afternoon or two... I have one nick/tear in the film on the front bumper of my 911, which would have been a rock chip for sure. It also dramatically increases the chance that door dings can be fixed with paintless dent removal -- should you be so gauche to park that baby next to other cars I mean. Needless to say, I'm a fan of the paint protection films.

Dunlop Direza DZ102. They were put on just before I bought the car.

@Tom M'Guinn
Yes on the 3M vs Expel camps.
I need to drive about 90 miles to get to the right shop so it will be inconvenient with drop off and pickup.
A buddy of mine had his GT3RS done at the dealership and they really did a schlock job.

It was just curiosity as to why you chose what you chose.

Stunning 944!!! Congratulations and I'm happy to see your putting some well deserved miles on her!

Thanks. Also enjoyed the tones of the new/old Blaupunkt Monterey today on the way home (nearly hit 1,200 miles). The radio has a great tone.
