Suntek Matte PPF - full install pictures
I had a full Suntek matte PPF install + full ceramic including glass, wheels & calipers completed about two weeks back. I should have gotten the car done immediately but I ended up waiting 6+ months and the car needed a lot of extra prep-work before PPF install.
Getting full coverage and the matte was a last second decision. I was originally going to get the wheels / calipers and front bumper / hood but I knew I would regret partial coverage. Once I decided on full coverage the question of glossy or matte came up and I took a leap of faith. These are shop pics, I have not had a chance to get anything good especially with all the smoke / haze in NorCal. . Last edited by redgs4; 09-11-2020 at 04:46 PM.. |

Another question, what is your wheel and tire specs? Just curious if you’re rubbing at all? |

The car has not been washed since PPF install as I have been waiting for the ceramic to cure. The shop that did the work is going to do a wash and full inspection of the PPF this weekend. No rub at this height but I plan on going just a tad lower in the front. HRE Classic 300; Brushed Dark Clear Center; Dark Stone Clear Lip; CF Center Caps |

My wheels are similar in specs with the same exact tire setup and I’m kissing my liner on full lock but scrapes the upper liner when driving aggressively in my backroad twisties. I love my current height except it’s ruining my fun. |

I've been trying to make some of the gatherings but timing has not worked. We are pretty close - we could do an East Bay mini-meet. I want to hear that hard to find Dinan exhaust. |

How do they wrap the front bumper with the front lip in the way?

Thanks, I always thought the oem parts were installed with beta link which could cause damage if removed. Glad to know it's possible.

The front lip is a cheap knock-off, no beta link used on install. If I'm not mistaken, most of the smaller parts are mounted with double sided tape.

Sunny Day and Clean Car, more pics
The sun was out, the car was clean and the parking lot was empty. These pics show how the HS still sparkles under the matte.
The second pics shows the 12" crack in the windshield (starting from the passenger A pillar and curving upward) courtesy of a rock storm on 880N near Avaya Stadium. This happened post PPF or I would be really ticked off. . |

Ugh! I hate how 880 has so much debris everywhere all the time. Ever since I moved over to the east bay from SF I’ve got 3 windshields replaced due to rocks hitting it. Sorry about your glass! |

Wow, 3 windshields replaced in a very short time. That puts things in perspective. I'm definitely happy I got the PPF done.
