Gotten full coverage quotes ranging from 5k to 10k. Then I realized I’ve never put on anything protective for my previous cars (dozens, including a 911). But I also do realize I always have chips on the hood and a handful of times on top of front fender. So at this point, if anything, just full front. Then again even 2-3k feels expensive when I think about what would need to do to replace the film if they become damaged.
Couple that with WingCommander’s comment which I identify with in how I’d handle my car (minus my T being daily and high mileage), I’m back to going naked, for now.
I REALLY think this T will be a special car for me. But I always think that about all of my cars while waiting for delivery and for at least 2 months after delivery.
Personally, no PPF on my T. Mine’s a daily driver and my sole car. Picked up in April and done 8,656 miles already. So no point in wrapping the car in cotton wool. It’s a car and is designed to be driven. Mine lives outside too, so definitely no garage queen. 
In my opinion, if the car needs a bit of touching up at trade in time, the cost of such work is unlikely to exceed what I would have spent on PPF. Just my view.

I think just like you about this, jkyrennist. I actually had made an appointment at Xtreme Detail and then cancelled it. Just not sure about it. Right now I'm leaning toward 'No PPF', but as me again tomorrow.

I did full-ish front (full hood and everything but partial fenders) as I thought it would give me the protection I'd need from flying Texas road pebbles and it was cheaper than a full front wrap.
Also, I've mentioned it a few times but I'm always curious what other T owners were planning as far as tint (if any) for those living in the south. I did 35% all around and I'm pretty happy with it. Originally had 20% on the back but I needed it replaced because of some dust/trash that got caught in it and I switched it to 35% all around.

Sure thing. Probably going to have to wait for weekend as I work in the depths of a hospital and never see the light of day during the week. If head my way let me know and we can grab a beer or something and talk T.

Yeah it’s hard to describe how impressedi was. My cayman is stiff competition in the handling department. I upgraded the suspension to X73 sport, added gt3 sway bars. Added S brakes with Gt3 master cylinder, added gt4 short shifter. Added gt4front clip and Techart wing II ON THE REAR. It is nailed to the pavement. I was actually planning on doing a 4.L swap and LSD NEXT. TEST DRIVING THE T with RAS stopped me in my tracks.
