Ignore the trolls that don't care how their rig looks...they probably don't shower but once a week either...LOL For the rest of us who know that you can have an off road vehicle AND use it as intended AND have something that turns heads driving down the street I understand your dilemma. 5-6k for a full PPF/Ceramic cover is about right give or take a few hundred.
I myself took the plunge and did the full vehicle in Xpel Premium Plus PPF and Ceramic. I also realize...and so should you...that it's not a good investment. In fact from a ROI perspective it's about as bad as it gets...but that's not why you do it. .
You do it so you can smile every time you walk up to your ride in the parking lot. You do it so you can off road and not worry that the bushes running down the side of your vehicle aren't leaving pin stripes that will need to be buffed out. You do it for pride of ownership. You do it for the same reason you dress nice. It's not about dollars and cents or even sense
it's about pride of ownership and what it means to you and that's hard to put a price on.
If you have the money and having your rig look it's finest at all times no matter how you use it then you should go for it!!
Funny how the PPF/Ceramic trolls never say anything about the thousands spent on over the top ridiculous lighting. Hanging 300 lights off the truck cutting the front grill and the like is equally a waste of money. The right bumper light setup is all that's needed for supplemental lights and anything else is pure personality...same goes for the over the top suspension mods and many other things guys waste money on. I include myself BTW having installed the KHC torque arm but stopping short of turning my ride into a skateboard by leveling it...LOL We all waste money on our trucks that will never be recouped when you sell it.
As with all mods...it's your truck, it's your money. If you want it and can afford it...Do it!!! Again, the prices quoted are slightly high and could probably be negotiated down a little. Professional install is worth it to me as the work has a lifetime guarantee, Ceramic has a 5 year guarantee and the film is guaranteed against manufacturer defect. Doing it yourself is a risk and the film available to doityourselfers is not as good/self healing/guaranteed.
