Hi there, trying to determine whether or not to do PPF on my Carrera T.

While doing the whole car obviously offers the most protection, what is the minimum protection that provides the best bang for the buck?

I am thinking bumper and hood at minimum.

And "maybe" mirrors.

As for headlamps, that seems to be controversial and there has been plenty written on the topic, so I will stay away from that (topic) here.

Thanks!

Bumper, hood, front fenders. Something for the rear fenders since those are some wide hips.

rear fender/hip is a high impact area, probably do rocker panels while you're at it

Whole front end is a must IMHO. I would also have the stock rear quarter panel one removed and Id recommend the one that covers more and also extends to the rocker panels. That area takes a beating.

Do the lights too, the plastic gets pitted and its noticeable.

I did this coverage on mine plus the headlights, as its my daily. Right before I had this done, I saw a little rock hit my hood in two places, then bounced off the A pillar. Got a nick in all three area, the little sucker got his money worth..lol.

Bumper, hood full, front fenders, mirrors, rocker panel to under doors and underneath rear fender. That's good minimum cover.

I love the quotes in your signature.

The A pillars and above windshield is a must for the minimum package. I know.

The rear wing on my T took a good shot last drive in the N. GA mountains. Rocker panels take a beating. I did full front, side mirrors, just above windshield, A-pillars and rocker panels. I would consider film on the entire car. Going to touch up the rear wing and put film on it.

I have the same with new sail panels on the quarters as well as my rear wing done and headlamps/drls. I would say the full front/a pillar/sail panels at a minimum. I did the sail panels as my factory ones were turning yellow after 1 year..I wish i did a larger area/the entire panel as it is a high likely-hood that the area infront of the rear wheels will get plenty of rocks thrown at them.

I saw my PPF shop take off the factory sharkfin PPF off of a white car. The amount of rock ships around it was amazing. Can’t do any hitting but touch up or full repaint to make that go away. Full PPF rear fenders make for a clean look and keeps everything protected.

Yep. I may get the rear fenders done one day...mine is waiting to go in to get the interior trim done in PPF as well as my painted seatbacks now.

The more highway driving you do the more PPF you should have.
