Default Where did you PPF behind rear tires?

My new to me GT3 is remarkably clean behind the rear wheels. I do a lot of canyon driving and it's pretty dirty.

Any advice on how large an area to cover? Or maybe the stock coverage is OK?

Here's a bad picture

Mine has it about an inch overlap on the rear. Based on how peppered the PPF is. It seems like a must with them 325’s on the ***

mine comes down the backside of the rear qrtr panel like yours UAudio (about 1" thick as it goes downward), but once it gets down to the bottom crease, it extends to the far back & wraps underneath. I asked for that specifically when I had it filmed 3 yrs ago

I could probably attempt a pic if you want

Thanks. I figured. Any rocker panel damage?

damage? I bought my 2010 three years ago, with only 10k miles on it,.. and had the PPF done immediately.

and so I also had the rocker panels done on both sides,... and that runs from front to back. I also had the original shark fin film removed, and so my PPF coverage is full rocker panel & shark fin all one piece.

So no, there is no damage anywhere. It has protected wonderfully, .. & my wife & I do a lot of "Tour" drives with PCA,... so we are constantly running our cars tight in a pack with sand bits flying all over the place (we did our whole front clip too. XPEL Ultimate, which I have on my Cayenne Turbo, and my 964 Turbo too).

Hope that helps answer your question (cuz I wasn't exactly sure what you meant by "damage")

Yea that's what I meant. Sorry typing while ignoring a zoom meeting. I'm getting my rocker/shark replaced and will do one piece as you stated.

Kevin, mine looks identical to yours. Piece that is the same size on the bumper going from the top of the rear quarter to the bottom, right along the seam and tucked inside the bumper.

However, I think Steve had a good idea to do a larger section.

Just drive enough so that all the paint is removed, then there’s nothing to protect.

I went with a larger piece which extends to just in front of the rear tail light and follows that angle downward.
