Had the car a week now and loving it.

I had been debating get the black side skirts PPF’d to protect them from scuffing. So was wondering how everyone is going with theirs. Are they getting scratched/scuffed up? Did you PPF them?

Cheers.

Once I get them painted (this week) I plan to PPF them.

I got my whole vehicle PPfed. But if I didn’t go whole vehicle, I would definitely have gotten all gloss black plastics wrapped as well as full frontal at the least

I have the carbon side winglets. Stones hit the front of the winglets and bounce into the black skirts. Noticeable stone chips in those areas.

If I had my time again I would PPF them.

Black surround on the grill is super soft too. Not a lot you can do about that.

Do you mean the rockers?

I could see that as a problem when I bought the car. Got them PPFd.

Yep, indeed I do. Seems a recipe for disaster in my opinion as well. But wanted to find out how they were looking a year down the track from others in case I was wrong. Now to find somewhere reputable in inner North Melbourne to do it...


Cheers for everyones input.

I did PPF on all black pieces, 5500 miles and year layer looks brand new

While I did not wrap the car, the addition of the mud flaps have helped considerably to minimize the damage there.

Still not sure if I would wrap the car if I could do it over.

Do you mean off the front splitter? Or they’re bouncing back off the rear side wingless into the black trim?

Yep off the rear side winglets infront of the rear wheels. Barely a mark anywhere on the side skirt apart from behind the winglets. You’d think it was safer behind them!

Yeah that’s why I was so confused

Some may not like the look, but I put the full rocker trim, with winglet (Autoid) shortly after delivery. I live off a gravel road and it's doing its job protecting the rocker. I'm sure the underside will get trashed, but they can be easily replaced.

My piano black rockers are holding well after over a year. I am mindful to not let my legs or feet rub them as I get in and out of the car and the TLG mudflaps are likely helping as well.

Though I’m not sure how long this will last, I may ask my buddy if he can do mine from a bulk roll of PPF. The precuts from xpel are a bit pricey.

Can you post a picture of them on your vehicle? I assume from your post you do not PPF them.

Yeah, I will try to snap a pic tomorrow. And no, I did not PPF them.

Here you go. Don't mind the dirt. Another perk of living on a dirt road.
They fit quite rigidly using a combination of the underbody screws and 3m tape. Sticks out an average of about an inch. Good protection for the rockers. Also have the mudflaps that were mentioned on this site.

Excellent. Thank you very much. Did you have to jack the car up to install? Does it come with the 3m tape or did you add it yourself?

[Sevvy]

Easier if you jack up at least one corner. Just need to access the screws underneath. The 3M tape comes with the item.

Thanks again.

[chocdog]

Cheers guys, much appreciate the feedback. Although I am trying to get out of the car so that I dont scuff them, I can see its pretty easy to do so. I am less concerned about myself - its the wife and 9 yr old I have a problem with!

I'll look into PPF after the xmas crazy time.

[Joepep529]

Got PPF on the black side trim as well as front bumper and hood
