Finally got around to doing full PPF on my G80 M3 — figured I’d post a quick update for anyone considering it.

I had the work done at a shop in Carlsbad, CA (Speed Phenom Film). Overall super happy — clean edges, no lift lines, film is basically invisible even on close inspection. Honestly feels like the car is easier to maintain now too — dirt doesn't stick the same way, and I’m way less stressed about chips and swirl marks. My M2 Comp was plagued with them.

For anyone dailying a nice car or planning to keep it long-term, I’d say full PPF is worth it. Peace of mind driving around SoCal traffic is priceless.

Anyone else running full film? Curious how it’s holding up over a few years and anything you'd recommend. Also debating adding ceramic on top — anyone here done that and noticed a big difference?
