Full PPF a la Dark Knight

shoglund2000 · 09-09-2022, 11:10 AM

Have seeing almost every color but white in person, I still think simple place looks best on the m240i. I just got my done up with a full matte PPF. Gloss on the mirrors, roof, diffuser and spoiler. Smoked out the bottom of the tail lights too

Unreal. Matte black is the best color on the 240 imo. Gotta ask the question- what did the PPF cost?

It was about 6k but that included PPF on all the lights as well as the calipers. Custom cuts for most of the panels as well. The front end was a pain in the ass I'm sure.

Can we see the rear? Have been looking into the taillights. Did they custom cut tint? Thanks

I did a similar setup on my F87.. great choice, looks amazing!

Amazing! Mind showing us the back so we can see the blacked out tail lights?

I may consider going this route for upcoming g87 since black is the color that masks the weaker part of this cars design.

Thanks!

Looks great on your Competition! Question is if/when they offer it in frozen black do you go with that and PPF or just PPF and save a couple of grand? I've heard nightmare stories about maintenance on matte paint

This looks so good.

If/when I get my BSM (no allocation yet) I would love to do this. How does it effect car care? Does it stay cleaner then without the ppf? Is it stupid to even consider for a daily driver in a salt heavy winter state?

So all the more reason to do the wrap in my opinion. The full stealth PPF is the first wrap I have had on a car (M2C) and worth every penny.

I won't get a new car without a wrap ever again

How long did it take the installer to complete the PPF?

Hers the rear. Needs some cleaning but the film on the bottom half detracts attention from the rest of the assembly I think

100% agree. Water beads right off of it and very easy to wipe down. It will be hand-washed for now on but I don't mind that work to keep the look. My mistake was waiting so long to do it.

I'd like to recommend something. You should do the hood arc/bump in glass black. Here's how the color contrast looks on my C8 Corvette
