I’ll start us off! Went to my local (sorta) PPF and wrap shop luxaryvehiclewraps in San Jose to get full front PPF along with the roof, doors, and side sills. Next step is to ceramic coat the wheels and remaining paint!

Film used was STEK PPF

I was just thinking about this same thread! Was going to create it, if it wasn't done yet, when I picked up my car from PPF this week!

Very nice! I had never done any PPF or wrap but happy to do it on a brand new car, especially on the front end.

I have stated this in other threads but will repeat myself. You should ceramic the entire car, including wgat has ppf on it (ceramic goes on top of/after the ppf).

How much did it run you to do the roof, doors and side sills? Also, why does the side sill need to be PPFd? never thought about it.

STEK film has ceramic coating in it already. Doesn’t need an additional layer. I was told not too as it could effect the film finish.

It was an additional $500-750 depending on where you take it. The lower side sills are the closest thing to the ground behind the front wheels. I figured I’d get those done as they are an impact area.

It’s starting to looks like something, still a lot of parts coming but I did a couples of things today.

- Carbon Fiber mirror
- Carbon Fiber rear spoiler
- Black M2 Badge
- Color match side marker

Coming on the next weeks

- Cobra Adjustable springs
- New wheels 20s all around
- CTS Turbo Downpipe
- CTS Turbo Intake
- JB4

Waiting to get options on some aero bit like front splitters, side skirt etc.

That’s it for now!

I plan to get 19 squares, probably Apex, for winter. I haven't decided what to do about summers yet. But I don't think I'll keep the OEM wheels, long term.

Also, it would looks better with 20s once it’s lowered. Once again, it’s just my opinion.

Aftermarket yes, 2300$ for 2 mirrors caps make’s not sense at all.
