Couldn't find Auto_weeks on Insta. Is that a typo?

My car is at Diamond Auto Salon right now. Incredibly happy with customer service. Should get the car back Friday to confirm quality of work.

Loving the smoked lights. They seem to be using full sheets and not templates so I think it should turn out really well.

Looks great! Are you doing a full wrap?

Do you mind me asking how much you're paying?

I am doing the entire front end, cf roof, rockers and tint on all windows but windshield. The did the back lights to match the front ones. I’ll let you know the price when I pick up. I got killed with rock chip so that is increasing price quite a bit to get it repaired and repainted.

I was at $5,000.00-$5,500 I believe before repairs and addition of the smoked lights.

No. I didn't with my 2017 either. I only drove it home and then to the PPF place.

Crossing my fingers nothing happens during those trips.

NewToM Which location did you go to?

I made an appointment with Diamond Auto Salon because Aerowerkz wouldn't answer their phone all day.

They facetimed with me to show me the shop, but damn they are pricey. I had a good feeling about them.

So I went to the old shop for the initial wrap. When they did the check up and some exterior add ons it was at the new shop that is beautiful.

I recommend scheduling the ppf the day of pick up if possible so you can just go straight to the shop from the dealership. Mitigates risk.

I went with Evo Studio in Los Alamitos. Did a full PPF xpel fusion wrap and xpel tint. Very happy with how everything turned out.
They installed wraps and tints on 4 of my vehicles and everything held up well over the years.
