Great info. I am getting mine done just a few days before my first road trip (DFW to San Antonio to College Station to DFW). I'll probably take a few country highways to avoid I-35, but it'll still be great to have the PPF on first. It'll be tough to wait on a wash afterwards, but I suppose I can at least clean the bugs off of the windshield and grille.Highly recommend! They did the entire front end, door handle wells (so my long nails don't scratch the paint!) and along door edges. Their package also included side mirrors but I passed on that since they are chrome (plastic) so they covered the headlights instead. Looks amazing and you have to be in the right light at the right angle to see the seam. It's 2' up the hood and wraps around the sides.
The only downside is that I can't handwash for 2 weeks and no carwash for 4. She's gonna get dirty...
Also, highly recommend the ceramic tint. Left there headed home at 5 yesterday and not only was it 94 out, the sun was beating into the windshield all the way home. Took me a minute to realize I was feeling the sun on my arms, but the "oppressive" heat was not there. I think I grinned all the way home.
I'm doing a package that includes the headlights / fog lights; partial coverage of the hood, fenders, and mirrors; roof edge and A-pillar; and front fender "cheeks". You make a good point about the chrome mirrors; I'll get a little money back by skipping those. I wish they and the chrome grille could be protected, but I'm told it just won't come out right.
My dealer included Llumar tint on the front windows to match the rest of the truck (they do this on all vehicles they deliver). I figured I could always go back and add a better tint all around, but I haven't noticed the need. I'll need a few 110-degree days under my belt to make that decision.
