So I just brought my S/T home after 2 and a half weeks getting full PPF. Hopefully will get to do a drive Sunday.

Congrats! Love the 00 #. Did they have to seam the PPF on the front or rear bumper?

There are no seams anywhere other than two small ones on the hood above the vents. I marked them with boxes. The extreme shape there would have risked bubbling up.

Here is the best I can do. The decals are matte but the PPF makes everything glossy. Someone said It makes it appear that the decals were painted on.

Does the S/T arrive at the dealer with the number already on the meatball? I was hoping to PPF over the meatball and then add the black numbers on top - in case I later want to change the number.

Yes comes with number. Can order without number though and then put on different numbers. Porsche letter E is installed over clear rear stone guards, which looked strange. I had them PPF over everything which seemed to soften that portion.

how does this look in person? Your photo does not look like PPF is over the E and the stone guard.
I am most likely to rip off the letters are maybe reapply later after PPF. I prefer to put a sacrificial layer of PPF where the stock stone guard is located on top of the base layer so you can rip off and re apply every couple years

Yes my PPF guy is a real OCD and said he will have to rip apart the stone guards from factory (he hates them due to not clean look) and in the process E gets sacrificed. I really want to preserve everything the way it is…

also I get the areas that get heavy rock chips beating double PPF’d.

I’ll also get the windshield protected this time
since it has a special light weight one (same as GT3RS?)

Default Decals

Does anyone have sense of what % of ST’s actually get the decals from the factory.

It really looks good in person. I was not happy the way they put the letters over the stone guards. I thought about pulling off the guards but then the letters would have to be reapplied and wasn't even sure if they're available yet. Also I wanted it to remain as factory as possible. Decided to just cover everything including decals and stone guards. Worse case rear side PPF will need to be replaced someday and can deal with stone guards and decals then. Someone wrote that decals were ruined during first track day, so I felt maybe they were a bit delicate being white. Ultimately, I didn't do anything I can't undo and it looks better to me.

I didn't get windshield done. My installer said I'd be unhappy due to distortions and the first rock hit would leave a gash. I've had the light weight windshields on my GT3 and Carrera T and never had a problem.
