Default PPF in Philadelphia area?

Hi All,

Looking for a full front PPF...not seeing a ton of local Philly recommendations - any local advice is appreciated

Following, as I need a good paint refresh/PPF refresh in the spring.

I've heard good things about Oaks, but people have said they don't like to work on "normal" cars.

Museo crew used to do the PPF work at RDS, correct? If so, I'd go with them.

THE BEST is Mainline Porsche.... Talk to Jessy and tell him Jeff set ya. The quality is untouchable and the service is 1st class. And guess what? They will pick up the car and leave a Porsche loaner.. Just added Ceramic-Pro and my 2018 C4S is a brand new car.

Will give very high marks to T at Museo and the guys at Modern Elix who do the PPF work. Great team. Museo can do your paint correction and ceramic finish and Jay and team at Modern Elix the PPF.
Had the full Monty done to my TTS, awesome work.

Hi all - I scheduled with Seven Wraps - https://sevenwraps.com/ after getting a couple recommendations. Anyone have experience with them? They are local and are charging ~$1800 for front 1/3 of the car. I would have gone with Main Line (where I bought the car, and they were great) but they were like $2,600 I think.

The guys at Porsche of the Main Line RDS studio are gone and are now Modern Elix working independently and with Museo Detail. Jay and the whole RDS team.
They have done my cars when at RDS and just did my TTS with T at Museo doing the paint correction and ceramic finish. Great team

This makes sense...I recently had my T done at RDS and wasn’t thrilled with the outcome....I thought going with the dealer was the best option and easiest (i.e. give you a loaner) but had a few issues and things not done as expect and other imperfections I would not have expected for the price and location. Maybe if a bunch of the guys left that’s why. Love my car and the dealership but would recommend going elsewhere for PPF/coating work which sounds like you did..

Second on Museo, they did the wrap on my car, very happy with the results.

Also consider doing door cups if your frequent passengers have finger nails.

Certainly not the case here, we work on and are open to all vehicles here, as can be seen in the 30 plus vehicles we store here as well.

There are a handful of capable installers in the area, which is a big plus to all of the enthusiasts around here. There are also varying levels of installs which is reflected in pricing as well, though any one that is properly skilled will be able to convey this to those interested! I will also mention that it is important to see that your installer is actually authorized by whichever brand they represent so that you are able to receive warranty support down the road.

We are always happy to assist any rennlister with their vehicles, and as can be seen with the consistent attendance of P cars in our facility and our 11 years in business, we offer the highest available quality available. Plus, there's the Rennlist discount too

Here are some of the Porsches here as I type this!

I used oakes and they did a fantastic job. They even picked up and delivered in a covered truck.

In the past, I had PPF applied to new cars. I recently bought a 2008 997.1 TT Cab and would like to protect the front end. There are normal rock chips and I don't want to have it painted. Can you still apply film over the rock chips since it technically won't adhere to the surface?
