Official Raptor R PPF Thread

X pel stealth looks good, but not worth the $8-$10k, especially since you will need to replace it in 3-4 years depending where you live.

I’m looking to possibly install XPEL Stealth to my Raptor R when I pick it up within the next week or so.

I wanted to get everyone’s feedback regarding their overall experience/preference with the product and if you guys think it’s worth the money?

I’ve been quoted 7k for the XPEL stealth and another 1500 to ceramic coat it.

What are your thoughts?

Do it! What color is it?

I paid about $10k for Prestige Clear Guard Alpha film and Modesta ceramic. That was a few years ago, so I don’t know what the hot products are currently, but I’m sure my guy uses them. It’s been over four years, and everything is holding up really well. Water still beads aggressively like it was just waxed. And the PPF has saved me from more than a few scratches. I think it’s worth the money if you can swing it.

Do the ceramic coat yourself after it is wrapped, Not real tough and will save you 1000-2000K.

Does the wrap (which is vinyl right?) need to be ceramic coated, or even waxed? It’s not paint with a clear coat right?

Oxford White

No

I typically do the front in PPF and wherever the wheels can shrapnel the paint.

NO, it does not have to but most people do.

Just do the entire front. Thats what I will do.

I will share this cautionary tale. During the summer, I daily one of my Boxster Spyders. It's a short trip that includes about 3 miles on an 8 lane expressway.

Unbeknownst to me, the asphalt had been freshly milled and I was in heavy traffic moving about 120. There was no escape and the front of my beautiful baby was treated to a heartbreaking gravel sandblasting before I could exit.

I had foolishly not installed ppf anywhere.

Never again.
