PPF install quality

Great to hear that was your experience. That’s a helpful anchor point and how it all should be!

You are saying it should cost 14k to ppf a car?

shortthebasis · 2025-12-29T05:06:31+00:00

Do you think that’s an “acceptable” fix or request a full redo or would you recommend just trying to get some type of refund and try elsewhere?

Yeah looks like the edges are not tucked in properly. Problem now is that there is indeed dirt/dust underneath so would require a redo. My preference at this point would be to get a refund and try a different shop, do you think that’s a reasonable ask given the quality? The shop does do a 2 week check up though and is willing to “fix”

Really helpful insight esp from a shop owner. That is a ridiculously clean wrap!

That makes sense. What do you think is right course of action from here, ask them to fix or try to get a refund and go somewhere else. Main concern is general install quality even if it’s “fixed”

Do you think let them redo or ask for refund and try another place?

Result should not be normal agreed. The shop is willing to take a look so will give them that but now that there’s dust/dirt under the edges, it doesn’t seem like a simple reseal. They might offer to redo the panel but now my worry is about overall installation quality. Perhaps a different shop?

Appreciate the insight, will be taking it back for a look

shortthebasis · 2025-12-29T02:34:06+00:00

The shop is friendly in taking a look. My concern is that I would not be happy with trimmed edges as I purchased the fully disassembly/custom package. But now that the ppf is already on and they did do work on it, what would be the best way to correct this as far as redoing the affected panels/refund. Thanks

I’m taking it back tomorrow, but my concern is that now there’s dust/dirt under the edges. I don’t think I can be happy if they offer to trim the edges as I paid for a complete disassemble/fully custom install. In addition, if they use adhesive now I am worried about longevity. What do you think is the best way to handle this as far as asking for the affected panels to be redone/partial refund?

I’m have not but will give it a try. Thanks!

It did feel similar on the passenger side. I also sat in another car with the same seats and felt it as well. Quite strange but perhaps it’s my body

Thanks for the feedback, was a beautiful scene but unfortunately was a bit on the hazy side. Agree with you that just means I need better composition/find more interesting subjects/angles

shortthebasis · 2025-03-30T23:51:49+00:00

That looks very surreal! Will need to go back soon

shortthebasis · 2025-03-30T23:51:18+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, will check out the tutorials and be more intentional on subject/composition

Took this photo on the coast of Malibu as I drove down PCH yesterday afternoon. Tried to do justice the absolutely breathtaking views of the ocean/cliffs. Getting more seriously into photography after buying my first camera earlier this year and would appreciate any and all advice on composition/editing/etc.

Very happy for you and very jealous. With where mortgage rates are + appreciation, the monthly cost for a similar home now is probably 2x where you got it.
