Any body do full PPF on their car?

I got full PPF, but that was just because I used color PPF to get the color I wanted. It cost $7000, but color PPF should be more expensive because the installer needs to be more vigilant about stretching, overheating, seam lines, and covering 100% (e.g., the normal Emira cut template around the side vents wouldn't work for color PPF since there's a big gap).

The patterns have gaps around the side vents and where the buttress meets the trunk at the back of the car. My installer was adamant that stretching around these areas wasn't going to be successful without cutting these areas. Did your installer have a hard time with those spots? Is the colored PPF thinner? Did they use another piece in these areas?

Yeah more than likely you'll need cut pieces for those areas. The side vent had some very minor lifting before the first check up because it's a difficult area. And the rear had to have a separate piece around each vent; to do a single piece for the rear bumper panel, it'd have to wrap around the width of the car and have stretch tension, but also not lift on the curved in parts somehow as well. My installer ended up taking like 3 weeks for install when they usually take 1, so yeah it's hard.

Color PPF is the same thickness s normal PPF, around 7-9mm.
