that's my plan for the PPF.. do you see any difference between the area that's not covered? little worried that might show the difference in the future if anything changes.

It was the only one in the state and was only the 24th bought in the US. Didn't get any say in options. Was kind of a take it or leave it deal. Def want to get the 666m rep black wheels asap.

Was there a lot of paint correction needed? Since I won't be getting delivery until New Years or later and want to ceramic coat it myself, I'm trying figure out whether to do the correction and coating right away in my unheated garage, or wait until spring. I don't put on many miles, so the paint shouldn't suffer too much this winter. We can always drive my wife's car.

Not at all. Ended up being a one step correction using Sonax Perfect Finish. The paint was in excellent shape prior to the correction, hence just the need for a polish. Was pleasantly surprised!

Best of luck!

Feel free to check out my introduction thread to the new car to see some photos of the finished product.

Honestly zero difference. I'm sure if you were knowledgeable and knew it was there and had the right angle in the right sunlight it's visible but to me it's virtually imperceptible. Even 14 months later it still looks brand new aside from the obvious chips which as far as I can tell have marred the PPF but haven't harmed the paint. I'll probably have it redone under warranty in 2-3 more years and if something made it's way thru to the paint I'll get it corrected but I'm very happy with the result and level of protection. For frame of reference last year I drove 110mi round trip 2-3 days a week on the highways going 80-90 and I know I've taken a few good hits from dump truck debris and rocks but very little damage thus far. Do it and you won't regret it.
