To Add Protection Film to the Front or Not?

[securityguy]

I had my bumper, partial hood and front 1/4 panels, headlights, mirror covers, A-pillars, upper roof front of the sunroof, door handle cups and door edge guards. All with Xpel...do this to all my vehicles and have a great relationship with the local installer that works for all of the high end dealerships. Can't tell you what I pay as you'll all get upset

That's great!! If I knew a guy that was in the business I would take advantage too.

Already noticed a couple of bumper chips. I wish I did this the day I got it. They can't get me in until Weds

Better next Wednesday versus never. You'll be happy you did!

They are small enough that with a little touchup paint I should be able to hide them before its wrapped too.

I had PPF put on the entire front end including headlights, the entire hood, A-pillars, partial roof 6 inches back from the windshield. Had front windows tinted to match the factory rears. All in all about 1700 bucks. Very well worth it. I plan on keeping this truck hopefully for several years.

Was it XPEL? That seems pretty cheap.

 

[securityguy]

I think it sounds high IMPO...$1700 is a lot but geography plays a role in this too. Would cost about $1200-$1300 here in FL.

Definitely interested to hear what people pay for this. Keep the quotes coming.

Deffinatly worth it, had mine done 2 weeks after I got the truck. If you don't the bumper for sure will be destroyed within a year if you do any driving. Painted steel bumpers always chip easy I don't care what brand it is.

I am planning to leave it alone and when it becomes unbearable, just like-x em

Suntek. I got the premium film with the 10 year warranty.

I got three different quotes. All were between 1600 and 1700. Nashville TN area is pretty pricey. The guy did a phenomenal job. The hoods on these new Rams are extremely difficult to do. The guy showed me the template guide on the computer. A red asterisk by the template for the hood rated it at a 9 on a scale of 1-10 for ease of application.

No.

 

[Creep0321]

No.

I just bought a house just north of Nashville, might PM you for your installer if I need more done, if you recommend him.

I ended up getting a quote for $800 to do the front end and mirrors. Figured I'd save the time and headache of attempting to do it myself.

I got the bumper done today, the price was 550 for XPEL and he added the fascia under the headlights for free. It looks pretty good, there are a handful of bubbles but he said that a lot of it will settle in a few days. If not, there is a lifetime warranty. I feel better knowing that the bumper won't look like it was hit with buckshot.

I'm looking at used 2019 trucks with thousands of miles on it (25k for my top choice currently). I haven't seen the truck yet in person, would be flying out, but curious if yall think adding PPF is worthwhile even for trucks that have been around the block/city/state a few times?

See how the paint is on the front end. Flawless - wrap it. A few chips - touch them up and decide if you want to wrap it. I ran into my 2016 F150 a few weeks ago (traded it on my 2019 Ram). 80k miles and front end is flawless.
