Greetings everyone,
I have a 2015 Charger Hellcat that is painted in the beautiful billet silver. I currently have the hood, roof, and trunk lid wrapped satin black. I enjoy the color silver but would like a change at the same time, the wrap shop I went to quoted me a body wrap in the area of 4k. He also offered Ceramic pros lifetime warranty at around 1.5k. What would be the better bang for my buck the film? He would be wrapping the car in is STEK DYNOshield which is supposed to be hydrophobic and self healing. Would appreciate some thoughts and feedback!

Yes

 

[LacticRaptor]

Yes

My thoughts exactly!

Apples. Oranges.

I did both the entire front end and flares are wrapped with Stek PPF and the whole car is coated with CQuartz finest reserve.

Seems more of a personal preference choice as to what you want.

 

[why2kmax]

if you want a change then full wrap is the only way to change the color etc. otherwise Id have him make it pretty and ceramic it

 

[baabootoo]

Wrap all the way so you can change the design and color.

I did mine for rock protection and ease of cleaning. I can hit mine with the pressure washer or car wash sprayer and blow it dry. No touching the finish at all so no scratches.

I would say, try to do it yourself. It sounds harder than it actually is. I did mine over the weekend and cost me a total of $300 or so for all the products used…looks great and makes washing it really easy.

I did both. I picked-up my HC earlier this week from having the windows tinted and Xpel applied to the front bumper, hood, front fenders, all four flares and side mirrors. I ceramic coated it myself after I brought it home.

I didnt consider my fender flares. To PPF the whole car its like $6-7k which im still on the fence about vs. just wrapping it a different color. I wouldnt be so concerned with rock chips with a wrap tho. How much was it to do PPF in the areas u mentioned?

I paid $2,250 for Xpel Ultimate Plus. I also asked for a quote to wrap the entire car, and it was $6,000.

I got Xpel Ultimate+ PPF on the front bumper, mirrors, headlights, fender flares and hood for $1900.

You can't ceramic coat under the PPF it will keep it from adhering properly being it's so slick. Most ceramic coating have a different coating for PPF's don't know if there is any difference in the formula's though. Mine got two different coating from CQuartz.

Why is there such a jump from the front clip to full car 6k

 

[Thavik]

Why is there such a jump from the front clip to full car 6k

No idea. Maybe they figure roughly $2k for each 1/3 of a vehicle. I would think the front bumper would be the most time consuming to apply film.

 

[Zman36]

Why is there such a jump from the front clip to full car 6k

Because it's literally 3-4x the surface area
