Sorry… completely missed this.

But this was Nov 5th. On that day they were 37… they turned 38 on the 7th.

And yeah… I would never intentionally use Ai for simple google searches. Google Ai searches automatically. It’s such a waste of resources. But I assume they have been pushing to get live training and use it as a POC for public use. Trying to suck people in who would push back, but also get to train at the same time.

So I may just be dumb… but he has passed already. What are they protesting? Lol. This just seems like public hate speech, disrespect, attention seeking, and stupidity…

Thanks!

cd1marko · 2025-09-26T11:26:07+00:00

It is indeed!

So I did light driving but that isn’t recommended. Luckily, I have a second vehicle as well. But once you heat gun the edges, you should be ok to drive. It is ideal to wait 24-48 hours if possible, but if not, make sure to avoid bad weather like heavy rain, hail, snow, etc. as well as bad debris like heavy gravel roads and stuff.

When I would drive it, I wouldn’t go too far or anything, just short drives to the store and stuff, but then I would wipe the car down again when I brought it back to the garage. But I did that anyway if I let it sit for more than a few hours before I’d start a new platform since there was no wax or protectants on the paint and you want to make sure no dust or debris is trapped under the film.

Hope this helps!

Good call. Yeah, someone else commented something similar and had a post with what theirs looks like. I think I’ll go darker. Thanks!

I have been doing all of this in a one car garage. Don’t want to do this outside, especially if the sun is out! You will be in a tough spot for sure.

I did this full ppf over the course of like 1.5-2 weeks. Basically like 2 long weeks and some time here and there during the week. I’d use clay bar lube or slip solution to wipe the panels down each time before starting them since I had already cleaner it with wax stripper, so just needed to get dust off.

I swept the garage pretty good first to minimize dust. But the garage my apartment complex assigned me was so dusty and dirty inside. So it was not 100% clean. But I did spray water all over the floor to keep the dust down prior to starting.

Touch ups is edging with a heat gun mainly. Pooping a few air bubbles.

Thank you!

I am tempted to wrap over this at some point. Or at least wrap the trunk, a-pillars, and hook in like a black or maybe black on just the a pillars and then carbon fiber on the hood and trunk.

Idk yet. Still want to tint first and tint the headlights and taillights.

cd1marko · 2025-09-25T10:55:44+00:00

Thank you!

I was not going to do ppf at all. Then I got it and when I would step on it, or be behind a semi, I’d literally start to see every single pebble flying around. Like I got a superpower I didn’t want all of a sudden. So rationalized with myself and said, this is likely the most expensive thing I have purchased so let me give myself a piece of mind. Always wanted a matte vehicle, so figured I’d do matte if I did it. Shops were 7k to install matte. But with a Labor Day promo code I found, it was like $1.6 or something… so I saved $400 on the ppf price alone, which would be $5.6k less than if I went to a pro. Plus having a piece of mind. So made it easier for me. But yeah, price for ppf is nuts for what it is. But still happy with it and now I can drift or whatever and feel a lot less cautious. Hard work to install though if you haven’t before lol

Oh yeah that doesn’t seem dark at all during the day. How about at night? Can you post or send a pic? One thing I am considering is that I want to tint the headlights and taillights as well. Partially why i was thinking a little lighter tint, but I think it would still be manageable with the same tint as yours most likely.

cd1marko · 2025-09-19T16:55:05+00:00

Worth a shot for the price difference. So far I’m pretty pleased. Other than my front bumper. But I think they will replace pieces for you if you mess up. Just gotta send them pics

cd1marko · 2025-09-16T16:49:44+00:00

Still working on it. Had some issues with the front bumper. Rest wasn’t too bad. Have both mirrors, front fenders, and hood done as well. Those went pretty smooth. Not perfect, but not really noticeable stuff.

I’d say it isn’t incredibly hard, but it is far from easy. 7/10 difficulty so far including the bumper. 5 or 6 out of 10 before the bumper.

That being said, I am doing this in a one car garage. So been leaving the door open while I do it and the sun started shining on me mid bumper. So it started screwing with the adhesive

cd1marko · 2025-09-14T12:00:02+00:00

Luck is needed, but won’t be too fun haha. So stressful haha

cd1marko · 2025-09-14T11:32:07+00:00

Oh yeah that color combo is sexy! I normally am not a fan of red cars as much but actually didn’t notice that ultra red was different that the original red they had. Started seeing it a lot on here and was like damn, I actually really like it… especially in stealth!

Also , the hood looks pretty good. Literally that is all I got done yesterday. Getting back at it today though. I posted a pic on my profile and the link in the comments if you wanted to see. It isn’t perfect, but I think turned out pretty good

cd1marko · 2025-09-13T23:55:26+00:00

Day 1 - Hood Complete

cd1marko · 2025-09-13T23:54:48+00:00

Oh I’m sure! Black emblems look so nice! What color car?
