Very simple question...if you were to notice a chip, scrape, dent that chips paint, etc. on the panel, would it bother you?

If answer is yes, then that panel should be protected.

I would also highly recommend headlights as they get hammered.

Also suggest the roof going 6” back from wind shield. If you have a sun roof then do both front and back on each side of the sun roof as that gloss black plastic scratches if you look at it. I also did th gloss black piece above the motor grill insert. Gonna get the doors done too. As I full front end, headlights, rockers, extended infront of rear wheels coming up to the height of the door handles. I guess I could get a chip on near the rear deck section, but I am s would be unlikely. Now thinking of the rear wing too as on the freeway any rock coming over the top will hit it.

I have had paint film intake on 3 Porsches. There first 2 had 3M and seams collected dust and there were imperfections in the film (read orange peel AND stretch marks in places ). I had my current 4 GTS entirely covered in Xpel and there is a world of difference. You cannot tell there is any film on the car !! Clarity and lack of imperfections in the film make this the unbeatable choice. In addition, tis film is self healing. Should you receive a minor scratch, it will self heal over time........No more fretting over waxing and polishing for me !! I just returned from a 1200 mile road trip and the car was filthy with bugs, dust and dirt. All were cleaned off the car with ease and car looks show room condition after 12,000 miles on the odo.

Thanks for the advice. I'm leaning towards a full wrap.
