Did you get your money back from the first place or are you actually paying to have your truck done twice?

I’ll bet the latter.

If I could spend the cash without the wife ripping my balls off, I'd go ADD front and rear bumper but couldn't swing it right now. Also debating on having them install the digital HVAC unit but wanna wait and do the cup holder lighting and other stuff as well at the same time.

I had the digital HVAC in my '21, and now not in my '23.... don't miss it at all. Took a min to get used to looking at the display, but imo, not worth the money. Glad to see you are getting what you want on the PPF.

I bought a unit off eBay for $130 and sold my original unit for around the same. Swapped them myself so I'd could definitely say it's worth the labor.

I haven’t heard of PPF until now, don’t know much about it but what I’ve read today, I did have mine ceramic coated to protect the paint from fading when I was having it done the guy told me it’s 10 times harder than the factory clear coat but doesn’t stop scratches from happening he said the best protection would be a ceramic coating then a wrap on top for road debris and scratches from offloading I just did the ceramic coating for now, maybe later I’ll do the partial wrap on the front, I wish I could help you but you did help me find out a bit more about the ppf especially if it changes the looks which I don’t want so thank you

Sorry to say that ceramic coating will not keep or delay your paint from fading. And the ceramic coating would usually need to be removed before installing ppf or the ppf would not adhere properly. Usually people install ceramic coating over ppf if they want benefits of both…

Ceramic protects the clear coat, the clear coat protects the paint from UV.

Ceramic protects the clear coat, the clear coat protects the paint from UV.

Unfortunately if that was true every carbon fiber body panel manufacture in the world wouldn’t be having yellowing issues from UV damage.

Well I know that the ceramic coating is a lot better than the Maguires paste wax I was using every two weeks to protect it from the uv rays is what I was told, I’ve had it almost a year and still a lot easier to keep clean and looks good.
