Cost will obviously vary on what exactly you decide to (or not) to do as well as what sort of prep is performed before film is adhered. I’m guessing that a premium installer as I chose would give you ala carte options that I was concerned with (protecting painted rockers with installer custom or semi protection) etc. As I had many questions and preferences to which I was given different options I will say you are close, maybe even a bit over on the PPF but to each’s desire . So many variables that all I can say is don’t shop for a good protectant/install at a great price but instead opt for a great protectant/install combo for a good (fair) price with fair realating to how important your paint appearance is to you. Hope that sheds some light.

Yes, as above suncoast is where I’ve gone for side markers et al.

I can’t wait! Do you have any pics to share (if you wish)? I looked at Esoteric images and looked amazing.

Thinking about getting the PPF at a local installer vs shipping it out to esoteric? any thought? is it worth it? how is the fit and finish after they remove parts to install the PPF film?
also is a coating on top of the PPF recommended or not?

Very nice. Night blue is a very understated yet classy color on the 911.

Yes, we recommend treating PPF the same as paint and coat it. (Obviously, don't polish PPF)

Here in the northeast, I’m a fan of the PPF and full ceramic coating. I only do partial film, but I welcome the chip protection and I love how the ceramic coating makes the car so easy to keep clean. Here’s a pic of mine when I picked her up from Oakes Detailing in West Chester, PA. Add Nick’s shop to your list of top service providers.
