I got quotes around $5000-6000 so I passed. I would do it if I had a new 911. Just did full frontal PPF only.

Curious—how long does it usually last, and do you need to eventually renew the wrap? I finally found some reliable car wrappers here in Chicago and I’m ready to get my first ppf wrap done. Just trying to get an idea of what I should be prepared for—like maintenance, care, and any surprises along the way. I’ve read a few things online, but it’s always better to hear from someone who’s actually had it done.

I did front and mirrors PPF (Xpel) only. I was told it's good for 10 years. And I also did ceramic coating.

I had my 2021 M2 Competition entirely wrapped in Xpel PPF. $4500 cost. Would not ever do it again because I just don't think the price is worth it.
