Way back in Sept I dropped off my car at Schwaben-Folia to get my Carrera T PPF'd. I am glad that I got some protection while I was over there as I drove my T over many alpine passes, autobahn, ring etc. However, now that I have my car back in my hands and having detailed it in my garage the last two nights, I have to say that the PPF job they did on my car was poor and I would have never accepted it if it had been done where I live. The cuts are acceptable but there are many imperfections, weird marks, lines in the film, and even a small polyester looking fiber between the paint and film low on the front fender. Very strange as they had several high end Porsche's in there when I dropped it off. I know they're capable of doing better but I feel that since I was just an American tourist and would probably never come back to them, that they didn't spend the time and effort on my car that they should have. Hopefully this Formel D place does a better job for those who do ED.

Thanks Randy, I don't so much mind a blow and go slap on job as long as it is priced accordingly and I will redo the car when it gets home.
On the other hand, if I give them 2-3 days and 5-6K it better be as good as the locals here do it.

IIRC it was something like $1800-2K. To get that price I had to give them my biz tax ID so they could classify it as a service and not a product. Otherwise it would cost something like 90% more. German law I suppose, VAT or something like that.

I also emailed Jamie at PCNA about my experience with them.

I'll be doing mine in early April, so tagged and also actively doing research. I'll post what I find, if no one chimes in.

XPEL

In Stuttgart we recommend Formel K, they are based in Renningen and do all the fleet cars for Porsche. The contact Person would be Lars Berger (lars.berger@formeld.com). They also have the option to pick up the car at the facility with a closed trailer.

Wish i had known about this prior to my ED. You should tell Jamie at PCNA.

It's hard as hell to get a hold of anyone at Formel D or Schwabenfolio, for that matter.

Apparently not. I called Xpel yesterday and they said I'd get a call back by EOD. Nothing. Formel finally replied and said their schedule is full and basically...good luck.

This is awesome.

I picked up my GT3 Touring in September and used ACTIV WERBETECHNIK GmbH near Stuttgart for XPEL clear bra installation. I was impressed with their service and the quality of their work.

They were also very flexible with scheduling (I dropped the car off late in the evening and collected it on a Saturday afternoon).

Mind sharing costs?

I think factory PPF is stop sale ATM... Seen it posted in the GT3 forum.
