    If doing PPF, don't forget your door sill plates.

    One area we forgot to ask about when we initially had our MS wrapped was the Model S door sills. When we went back for a film check that next week we had them add it to our car. Plan to do the plates for our Model 3. Thought I'd throw it out there for anyone getting ready to take their car in...

    PPF on Model 3 glass roof

    I tried searching on the forum and Google but came up empty. Maybe it doesn't make sense to do, but have you or came across someone that installed PPF on the roof and rear glass on the Model 3?

    I just paid to have my front bumper wrapped with paint protection film (PPF) as I have no confidence in wrapping the bumper myself. Though I want to wrap the front hood also, as you need to press pretty hard to close the hood, and I can see myself scratching it up pretty quickly. Surprising...

    Let me begin by apologizing that there are no outside or sunlight shots. The schedule to have the car ready and when it was picked up created a poor opportunity to photograph our work. At any rate, it looks great even when shot at night in the shop! This Tesla Model S got a full body clear bra...
