Default Not worth it...

So mindful of her flared fenders I bought what I thought was a satin black protector from Sun Coast and just put it on. Alas this thing is just paper which will no doubt be shredded in no time. I've ordered a new vinyl protector sheet which will last longer than this. Very cheap, very expensive for what it is and very disappointing. But it does look nice IMHO of course with the GR

This is why I am putting PPF on the entire rear quarter.

On order and at a fraction of the price of what the dealer wanted. But the vinyl is bling , just don't buy paper from Sun Coast.

I replaced the factory 3m with xpel. Much better.

I have Xpel on all my cars and it has saved me a bike hit from its stand as well as a hood hit from a grass cutter hitting a stone.

Cover the car in PPF and then apply the black 930-style fender vinyl over the PPF. It's very common to layer design vinyl on top of PFF.

XPEL does offer Black PPF which would be perfect for this kind of application.
