Default C8 pre cut ppf?

Any opinions on pre-cut PPF for the C8? I was happy with the partial PPF on our C7. Installing wouldn’t be a problem. Other than the front and the mirrors, where else should it be? Hypersonic silver when I get it. Will not be a daily driver, just like to keep it nice.

My PPF shop (like most shops now) use precut programs but he tweaked the program so the edges are wrapped under and even the edges between two adjoining panels he is able to tuck the edges so no lines can be seen. There are a few places installers can’t do that like the headlights, A-pillars, top edge of the rocks and the top leading edges above the windshield.

If cut properly that allows for hiding the edges, nothing wrong with using pre-cut pieces i guess. And if you have the skills to install the PPF, even better.

If you have the talent to do the install yourself and have had experience with PPF just use the precut. You might consider using an experienced shop with references. when looking at PPF you should always look for an experienced installer rather than price or product.
