    @@THExKINGxKINGx I shopped around a lot but eventually went with guys that were a little more expensive but did much much better quality work. You can get everything as low as 4-5k, but I ended up getting full body PPF with edges tucked in etc, ceramic tint all around, and graphene/ceramic coating on the entire interior and exterior with 10yr warranty and annual check ups for 6k. It's really a place that charges more, I just got good with the owner. Good luck sir, but be ready to have about 6k give or take on hand. In the end I saved $8500 by going with this color and I would have PPF/tinted/ceramic coated regardless so I still saved about $2500 over picking a paid color. I could have changed it to any ppf color I liked and still saved money.

I spent almost a grand on my tint and I’m buying the wrap honestly just because I like the looks and clearly that’s a couple grand for something unnecessary. I don’t even care about the protection I would have done it without it honestly. So yeah I’m the last person on a budget but at the same time I’m not letting anyone take me to town lol

    Exactly what I want to do. I paid $8,000 to have someone do my 2022 M4, but, I ordered a kit for my 21 Accord, from Drive Protected, unfortunately, I got lazy and let it sit, as miles piled up, on my Accord and it got too damaged in the front, to wrap anymore. But, I’m looking at getting rid of both cars, and get a gray model 3 Performance, just to do a stealth PPF. I kind of want ultra red, but, I don’t think it will look as good as stealth gray wrapped in Stealth PPF, so, I may go that route. I don’t qualify for the tax credit, so, that’s not a factor.

    @@THExKINGxKINGx I told myself, years ago, if I ever order an M3 (or m4) I’d order everything and I’d order it in Fashion Gray. Well, after the car was over $100k, it just started getting ridiculous in my head, cost wise. So, I opted not to make it $4,500 worse, and do an individual color. Well, I switched my paint color like 3 times and finally decided on Dravit. Which is amazing, but it wasn’t Fashion Gray to me. Not thinking about it, Dravit was $1,950 for a paint option at the time. I’m more mad at myself for not realizing I was switching to Dravit spending $1,950 anyway, and not spending the other $2,500 to just get a full individual color. Dravit is amazing, for sure. It’s always a head turner, I just promised myself if order Fashion, and I didn’t.
