Got the new 2024 PPF'd today

OP covered a lot. If you had to advise a minimal install to cover the majority of hits, would bumper and hood cover us?

this the typical “minimal“ front coverage. I usually skip the headlights and side mirrors.

So, I also have the white with black roof, and I ended up having the full front clip (bumper, headlights, full hood, fenders, mirrors) along with the A-pillars, the roof, the black piece that's separates the front windows from the tiny 1/4 windows, and the rear hatch all the way to the spoiler. With the top of the car being black, I just really wanted to make sure that it remained scratch-free as long as possible.

I opted for STEK DynoShield, several of the installers in my area said they felt it offered the best clarity with no "orange peel". In the past I had SunTek Ultra and Hexxis Bodyfence, and both were solid options, I know Xpel is also a well-known and pretty reputable brand, but I've heard clarity is potentially not as good...they offer an 8 and 10 mil option I believe. I had my installer break down a quote part by part, and doing the full hood and front bumper would run around $1500, full front would have been around $2k so you definitely get a better deal if you just do the whole full front as a package.

Keep in mind, whatever the condition of your paint is underneath the PPF is locked in for potentially ten years, so if you have scratches/swirls/etc, you may need to pay a little more for a paint correction before having the PPF installed.
