Default How much should PPF Cost?

Was wondering what should I expect to pay to have my Z06 fully wrapped in PPF? Any recommendations in Detroit area for a reputable installer?

Just for the wrap with no ceramic over the PPF I have seen $6K plus or minus $1K. One thing to always keep in mind is buy the installer. A bad wrap is the worst thing that you can wind up with.

A full PPF wrap is pretty expensive - prices can be north of $5K. As mentioned, be sure to check on the prior work that has been done by the installer you are considering - a lousy installer can really ruin your day.

I live just south of Detroit and paid $2700 to tint side windows, PPF full front, hood, headlights, side mirror, splitter, side skirts and pillars.

I went to A-Team Auto Wraps in Toledo.

The couple places in Detroit area wanted over $4K for same job, significantly higher than what most other people in large cities reported paying,

It varies by area of the country but the average range of full PPF is generally $6-8k.

I paid 7k for my wife's 23' htc, full paint correction, 100% wrapped with STEK, multi coats of ceramic pro, a year later I think it looks even better now

Sunshade Troy did a good job on my C7. Check with who Matick Chevrolet uses, I’m guessing Clear Auto Bra in Plymouth since they have a good reputation and are nearby but I don’t know that’s who they use for sure. When I take delivery of my eRay at Matick, I’m going to have my car paint corrected, track pack PPF, window tinted, and ceramic coated by whoever they use prior to me taking delivery. I’ve seen C8’s in the Matick showroom that have been wrapped and was impressed with the quality of the installation.

Well since Toledo was thrown out if this is something you are thinking about I used Ecoshine on Secor Road for my PPF and cermic. PM me if interested and I will give you the guys phone number, When I was there this summer they were doing a Z06 and the guy was out of Michigan. They kept my car for about 3 days to complete the work,

Depends on the color of the car and how much correction is needed before you seal it in. Here I have seen terrible installs done by detail shop who offer PPF at a discount. PPF is fairly simple but prep (think prep for painting) is the determinant.
