Full or Partial PPF

[TacoFreak]

Since I have a Sport with that wicked awesome "air scoop", that wrap had to be done in two pieces: One big sheet over the whole hood and then a smaller panel behind the scoop to the windshield.

My detailer took the scoop off and did the hood in one piece. He is a real pro and he said that hood was the hardest body panel he had ever wrapped.

Wicked awesome is a perfect description of the scoop from my POV too.

Mine did that on my 2022 PRO as well and he even cut perfectly around the decal - he said it was wicked difficult - no seams visible — true artistry

Did front end [hood, bumper, fenders] PPF clear and roof/pillars & mirror caps in PPF satin black to give a "pro" look. May look at adding some protection to the rear fender flares.

I did full because I did not own the vehicle for a week, and I had two rock chips on the rear panels. yes, I see the line. it bothers me, but the bottom lineis that you can fix that in the distant future with buffing and clay bar. not having it means repainting down the line.

Im the most OCD person alive but somehow the little PPF lines don’t bother me - but paint damage does

I did full hood, bumper, fenders, a pillars and leading edge of the roof line. I had partial PPF done before on my other vehicle and I told myself never again. It looked good for a while until the seam started collecting dust.

Thanks for all the input! Decided I will splurge to do the full hood instead of just partial hood based on the responses.

I've never had any vehicle I've owned PPF'd, and so far, I think I've been pretty lucky as far as rock chips/paint damage goes on my truck. I'm starting to gain an interest in getting mine done, not only for the added protection, but also for the potential appearance modification "opportunities." I'm really leaning towards a clear, matte PPF wrap to give my truck a different look than all the other ice cap Tacomas I've been seeing lately (it's really awesome to see more and more of these trucks driving around finally). I love the white paint, but I also like the idea of giving it some added flare... just not sure I'm ready to throw the money at it yet!
Any of you have any thoughts or opinions on this idea or have experience with matte finish PPF? Difficult to clean? Good idea, bad idea?
