Definitely will want to put PPF on this section. It scratches easily…at least it did on my 2015 F150, as the gloss plastic black shows all the scratches and swirl marks.

My guys used clear vs. stealth on the B pillars. I assumed it was going to be stealth..now trying to decide if I want it to be stealth or just leave it the way it is??? I don’t think there is a wrong answer, but do kinda like the clear as all the window section blends in with clear, glossy. I would suggest to have your installer do 1 section in stealth as see what you think?

I did also have them put a clear wrap over the headlights, in case you get bored or run out of ideas.

I sent them a message this morning on this.. Asked what they were going to do. I told them I wasn't sure if it would look good or not so I think they will do a test with a scrap piece and send me the shot

On stealth film Ceramic adds hydrophobic property to film (which it already has) so when you wash it you can dry easier. On glossy film it can add some shine. You won’t notice any other difference but I still think it’s worth it if you have the money and want to save time with washing.
had a ceramic on a Camaro (no wrap) - completely worth it (plus for my Stealth deal its just part of it) mostly for ease of cleaning. On the Camaro it looked like I spent a few hours with a clay bar and wax after a simple wash. One thing I know is it can't hurt

Sent me this yesterday. Not sure what’s left, either the ceramic is curing or they haven’t started that part. I did get an alert on the app about an ambient air temp sensor…. No idea if it’s related to the work or just a a random thing. Minor sensor at least

I'm getting XPEL when I get my CO. I'm going to ask the shop to show me samples of clear and stealth side-by-side, so I can choose. I'll post photos if no one has before then. I should get my truck in about 4 weeks if the tracker is to be trusted.
Super pumped to see co with stealth, I haven’t seen it before

Anywhere from $6k-$10k depending on region, amount of labor and attention to detail (dand whether you add ceramic coating.
Sorry…Oxford White = Vanilla. No matter what you do to make it look different its still just vanilla. Unless you add fudge, nuts, whipped cream and a cherry on top…
