Dallas area recs for PPF
Hey all, I'm seriously considering wrapping (protection only) my M2C when it gets in and am looking for Dallas (northern suburb if possible) recommendations. TIA!

Pretty sure I’m taking my new M2C to him again, if I decide to wrap. |

I went TintWorld in The Colony off 121... friend of a friend, and so far I'm very pleased with the work. Xpel PPF and tint.

I still stand by ForceField as being an awesome option too. Unfortunately, he's booked out until January.

Tintworld, friend of mine and a fellow enthusiast (Lotus Elise owner). He wrapped my 17 M2 back in Oct 2016 and just did another member's 19 HS M2C. I will have him do my 19 M2C when it arrives.

That's who I used. Sounds like we are close to each other... I'm in McKinney.

I'll say that Forcefield's installation was more seamless though, and priced about the same. I don't think Forcefield worked from a template, and it showed. It was the small details... TintWorld will be able to wrap an M2C in their sleep at this rate.

That’s right. With my last M2 the PPF installed at Forcefield had no visible seem (edges). He took off the side gills and front grills and completely tucked the film. Unless I told you it had film, you’d never know. With the templates used, it’s obvious with even a cursory look that there is a film and areas unprotected, even if it’s just mm’s on the edges. Again, not unhappy with Tintworld, but Kevin @ Forcefield is an artist. |

True, but when costs are the same... Either way, just pointing it out for those that care.

When I did my 17 M2 the costs with Tintworld were a good bit less than other vendors, not sure what the current market prices are. I've known the owner for quite a few years also so I may have gotten a friend price.

So what is the cost here in the north Dallas burbs from these two vendors? I've read quotes from $1500 to $5000 elsewhere... Honestly never had it done on a car before. Might just opt for a higher end ceramic nano over the film.

I paid around $1600 at both vendors for full front.

Ceramic coat and PPF are for different purposes. Ceramic coat won't stop rock chips.

Fully understand that. Fortunate enough to not have many on my E90 and it's coming up on 8 years old. I'm basically a toll road commuter on DNT and the Bush Turnpike. Plus as others have said, "it's not a Ferrari"...
