Default Atlanta Area PPF Recommendations?

Anybody have any recommendations for a PPF shop in the Atlanta area? Debating partial or full hood. Thoughts? The car is my daily driver.

I would recommend doing full hood. I would not stand seeing that line in the middle of the hood every day. I can't imagine that it would be that much of a difference in price vs the huge difference in looks.

I'd do the full front including entire hood, fenders, strip above the windshield, headlights and mirrors. Also do the rockers, step plates, lower rear end and door edges. Mine also has much larger patches in front of the rear wheels on the fenders, after removal of the factory pieces.

Highly recommend Derek. He does great work on many high end cars. Also recommend going full front clip as others have mentioned.

People come from all over the south to have Extreme Colors in Greenville, SC do this work, correction, nano, etc. They do all of the BMW Performance Center cars.

Just had my 10 year old film removed and replaced by Derek at Atlanta Protective Films. He did a fantastic job - much better than the original. Very professional and beautiful work.

iPhone photos - should do a proper photo, but when I walked out in the parking lot, I had to take this photo - still blown away - my car has not looked this good in quite a few years. And the original film job was no where near this nice - better products now and a much better installation!

I think I saw your car on Facebook and it looked great. Our GTS was dropped off there today to get done and Derek is really a great guy. Really cares and knows the cars.

Forgot how old this thread is. I ended up Not using my above recommendation.

Went with someone that is highly recommended for a more show quality job.

Jean-Claude from Detailed Designs Auto Spa (Just outside ATL in Conyers)

Here's my vid from pic up day. BTW, he was just trying out the mustache, he promptly shaved it off after this vid. lol.
