Nice tire fitments.. What do you have on the front? And are you using spacers?

For those thinking about XPEL stealth PPF. I had mine installed on my edition 1 2017 coupe which comes with the selenite magno paint. I tried to do tons of research about how the film would affect the paint in the long run, how it would hold up over time, and especially what would happen when trying to remove the film from the magno paint. Well, although I couldn’t find any of that info out on the web, I had the unfortunate luck of getting side swiped. Now I had the film installed as soon as I bought the car in 2016. So that puts the film at 5.5 years old when the incident happened, and I had the entire car wrapped. There was no way to do paintless dent repair, therefore the body shop had me remove the film along the entire driver’s side panels. Much to my surprise there was NO ISSUE having the shop who placed the film to take it off. It did take several hours for them to take it off, and it didn’t come off super easy, however they were able to do it without messing up the paint. Even the vinyl stickers on the side of the door remained intact and were unharmed! I’m debating about placing new film over the new paint job which also came out really good. Surprisingly you can’t tell very easily where there is film and where the repair job was done. Keep in mind that the paint was blended at the front and rear quarter panels as the damage done was to the rear of the door and extended to the front of the rear wheel well of the rear quarter panel. My concerns is that the film has a 10 year warranty. Therefore 2/3 of the car has “old film”. So when will I need to remove that part of the film so that it can still be done before damage is caused in removing it. I guess that’s the million dollar question. Do I leave the drivers side ‘naked’, or spend the $2k on having it replaced with new film. Would love some of your thoughts out there. But as far as the quality of the film and any fears of “can it be removed’, I can tell you from my personal experience, this stuff is great! Have no regrets in having put it on. I even had an incident where a large bed frame made of wood and metal, which was leaning on the garage door fell against the hood when the door was accidentally opened. Yes, a very minor dent, but the film was barely scratched. This stuff is amazing

I'm currently locking in an allocation for a Porsche Cayenne GTS in Quartz Metallic Grey (which I think is close to the Selenite Grey Metallic), and I wanted to see how a matte wrap would look. I love the magno paints from Mercedes, and have always wanted a matte finish. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm leaning towards getting Ceramic Pro Kavaca Matte PPF. Not seeing it mentioned here, does anyone have experience with that product?

Thanks for the thread.

I’m running the same size rears on my coupe. 265/35’s on the front. Stock rims, no spacers.

Did the Matte PPF affect parking sensor? On my dad's EQS, we had to cut out holes in the Stek Clear PPF for the parking sensor because it affected the function of the parking sensor.

I ordered an EQE in Selenite Grey Metallic, I would like to apply Stek Matte PPF on it. I worry that if we need cut out for the parking sensor, the original metallic shinny color will be exposed and making the matte wrap look a bit odd...
