Is Suntek the same as STEK? Taking ownership of my 992 in about a month and will be sending it straight to the shop for full body PPF (I can't stand seeing the seams) and this shop has STEK as well.

They are different manufacturers

@Icegrill - can you share pics of your PPF over the fuel cover, the top edges of the hood (the most triangular section) and front fender edge where it meets the door.

All local installers for PPF that I see have precut items here, meaning the fuel cap is a slightly smaller oval than the car part, the hood has a relief cut before wrapping on either edge, and the front fender stops short of wrapping around the edge by the door. I can upload pics of my current 718 with this effect later, but anticipate a 992 will get done the same way despite my desire for fully wrapped edges.

I don’t know where the text went!? But to summarize: I was insistent on plotter cut pieces, *still may require slight modification in certain areas, unlike DAP xpel which has the relief rectangle cuts in it. This is cut with suntek core software. Not 100% perfect but no install is…… from my many installs. I can live with this and the film has much less ‘grab’ than xpel which is important for me, in regards to future removal. Hope this helps some people, while adding to the continued PPF dilemma! I know my luck, if I didn’t ppf I’d take a bolt or rock straight to middle of the hood on my first spirited country drive.
