Your car looks great. I’m attempting to achieve a very similar look (Gentian Blue - 2024 T) but not a big fan of the dark gray accents that the T has. I’m hoping it grows on me, otherwise, I’ll be picking up another set of wheels/tires and putting the OEM’s up in the garage. We’ll see. I also noticed you’ve got your windows tinted darker which I also think looks great. If you have any more pics. Of your car with the windows tinted, I’d love to see them, at your leisure. Much appreciated.

Should the oem film be removed on the rear qtr before ppf? Or ppf on top of oem film? I am concerned that removal of oem film could damage the paint of a brand new car

As @MoeMistry mentioned, the OEM "shark fin" film should be removed. My installer was able to save the original film and reapply it over the 3/4 panel PPF for added protection in that area.

Full front PPF (including A pillars and cross piece), and full carbon ceramic coat. My installer swears by 3M Pro, and it turns out that Xpel lost a lawsuit because they stole the 3M patent.
