The dealer accessories team is installing it - per my SA. Looking into it, LLumar offers a product that incorporates PPF and Ceramic Coating. I am looking more into that. Dealer $1998 quote is for entire hood (wrapped around), mirrors, rocker panels and front bumper.
Looks like the LLumar Valor has a 12 year warranty.

Lots of questions about the cost for this stuff.
I am blessed to live in an area that has many many high-end detail shops so I made a lot of calls and asked for recommendations from some exotic car owners.
Average cost for full front PPF on the LC 500 is $1900 here in Scottsdale. That includes the bumper, headlamps, fenders, entire hood.
Ceramic Coating is literally all over the map from $895-$2700. The problem is that these prices factor in lots of paint correction but my LC's paint was essentially flawless from the factory so it required very little prep time. Warranties run from 2-12 years.....ugh.....ceramic is wonderful......but I feel like many of these shops are overcharging. You can have between 1-4 coats done with those prices.
Window tinting was $280-$800.....again....lots of options.....I live in AZ so a high-quality tint is a necessity.
I was hoping to drop the car off......get everything done at that one shop.....and then be ready to roll, which I factored into my choice of shops. There are a lot of shops that only do one or the other.
I found a Scottsdale auto detail shop who has been in business since 1984 and has amazing reviews; they offered me a fantastic deal for the whole package.
-Full front PPF for $1675, which included $80 for the Carbon Fiber door sills
-One-coat FlightShield Ceramic Coating covering everything except the glass (outer wheel faces, included) for $430
-Madico Wincos window tinting for $425.
I got everything done for only $2,530 and I am extremely happy with that price, and it included an additional 10% off as they had just sent out coupons in the mail.
Big shout out to Allen and Richie at Airpark Auto Detailing in Scottsdale.
I will keep this thread alive to let y'all know the quality of their work over time!

Just would like to see a picture of the car to see how good it looks now that the paint has been corrected and coated, with PPF properly applied.
For example. This is my car after having PPF full front, paint correction and Xpel coating. It's not an LC, but still.
