They have PPF, Wrap, and Tint over at metrorestyling.com . Anyone who's intersted in DIY can check it out. Alternatively, if you have a trusted installer who is cool with trying out new products, this is an option.

The stuff I bought is thick and stiff.
Marco had a tough time installing it.
(EDIT: For clarification, Marco is not the installer who directed me to buy the headlight and taillight films from Metro Restyling. That was a different installer. This was Marco's first time using this stuff. End EDIT.)

Also bought the "Smoke Head/Tail Light Lens Vinyl Film" in the Light Smoke shade, but Marco wasn't able to get the film around the sharp corners of the taillights. So he wrapped my taillights with some darker film that he had in house.

Headlight and taillight tint installed May 2025.

I have a basic front-end package. That includes the front bumper, front fenders, hood, headlights, the H badge, side mirrors, inside the door handles, and lastly the luggage lip.

Hard disagree on anyone that says PPF is not worth it. But it's ultimately how you end up using the car. I have yet to go to the track (first HPDE this August!) but I'm confident that at least 50% of my miles are hard canyon/mountain driving. And I can tell you that the areas in the front that are not PPF'd like the gloss black near the headlights or the front lip are absolutely thrashed. I wouldn't even want to imagine how the paint would look without the PPF. So far after almost 11k miles, I have 2 paint chips on the roof, and one on the front passenger door.
