Yes. $200 to do the hips. Don’t get raped.

Do the PPF guys remove the factory applied piece or do they install right over it?

You must be referring to the factory stone guard piece that comes in clear film. You might find that for $200.

I got the entire rear fender done, that runs along the smooth painted surface above the side skirts, and along the side of the roof down to the A-pillar. It’s a single Xpel piece. The factory piece was removed.

I recently switched from Goodyear Eagles to Michelin Pilot Sports and I hear a hell of a lot less kicking up. I also have full PPF

Thanks. That is what is being recommended to me also.

no wrap or coating? I also want more feedback on these guards. I’ll be installing them for sure but wanted to know how effective they really are and if a full qtr panel wrap is still necessary

this is the right way to get it done and definitely didn’t cost $200 like some have mentioned

Not that complicated. Of course you need ppf in that area.

If you are just doing partial, should be very cheap.

I have film on entire car, and secondary piece on top in this area.

I don't notice getting in the car, nor when driving, so it doesn't bother me. I am thinking about getting a black extended shark fins with a strip along the rocker to ground the fin. Like how the older air cooled look. GT3 skirts on order.




This is why you remove the factory fin and at least do an extended piece. That rash is no bueno. Also be careful with non oem flaps rubbing the front fender paint.

I put a strip of ppf between the flap and fender.

One small chip is all it will take to have to repaint the entire panel. Touch of base and full clear coat

I have full car PPF, and drove down a gravel road last year, and the hips looked sand blasted, so I had the PPF replaced. when they replaced it, they added a second smaller piece to the hips so that it can tear off without having to redo the entire piece that goes up onto the roof.

This is the way. Why would you do you the whole side in one piece? It's inevitable it has to get replaced and you're just making it vastly more expensive for when it does.
