Do you have an idea as to how difficult the fender is to remove?Yah. He had to buy new rivets since they are one time use.
Thanks

I didn't actually do it myself. But you need a rivet tool remover. I don't think it's to difficult. You just need to have the new rivets to put it back on.Do you have an idea as to how difficult the fender is to remove?

What makes you think your fenders are fully wrapped?
Close inspection shows the line of the ppf. Itās not as appearant as the strip on the back fender, but itās there...or else Iām way off. I had it applied to my previous Jeep and to the DD years ago so Iām pretty sure of what Iām seeing, but not above mistake.What makes you think your fenders are fully wrapped?
Youāre correct. Thatās exactly what it is. Thanks for checking.I believe what you are seeing is the mold line of the fenders, not PPF.
If you look at the rear a little closer, you will see those same mold lines.
Can you post pics? I am pretty sure that is what it will be as they do not come from the factory with PPF on them.
I checked on the grill, front fenders and hood. Price was @$1500. I also want to get the front pillar. Iāve opted to order pre cut from Clear Mask. Covering everything except the doors and rear quarter panels. Probably will do the doors when they have the pre cuts available. They offer Suntek, 3m and llumar. I might regret it, but think itās dosble with a little study and some knowledge. They provide video and instructions. Check out some of the videos online if youāre interested. The savings are substantial, but for me I like the challenge of doing something myself.I was hoping I might be able to leverage the collective wisdom here for some advice on PPF pricing.
Iāve been soliciting bids to have my new 2 door rubicon wrapped in either a Suntek or Xpel PF film. Specially, I want to get the grill, full hood, front and rear fenders wrapped.
Does anybody have an good estimate of what is a fair price to pay from a quality installer I donāt want to go to somebody just because theyāre cheap - I want a good job.
Any advice on what I should expect to pay would be much appreciated.

I think itās going to vary drastically based on where you live. I got my entire Jeep wrapped in Xpel Stealth and it was $6k. A good installer is key. Mine was recommended by Michael at Xpel (heās on this forum). I think they did a great job. We found a couple of bubbles a few weeks later and they took care of it and are replacing one of the fender wraps.I was hoping I might be able to leverage the collective wisdom here for some advice on PPF pricing.

We must be in a similar market. Most of my quotes have been between $1500-1800 for the grill, hood, front and rear fenders. Itās arouns $200 more to do the rocker panels, and another $500 to add both doors. I am leaning toward doing all these - price would be around $2400 (plus tax) for the entire front and sides below the windows. I am leaning towards the Suntek film as the installer I feel most comfortable with prefers this film to others. While I am okay with several of the better films, I agree with others in the importance of the installer and 3M or Suntek are the only options at my first choice (he was a former Xpel shop but abandoned the line due to not being reimbursed in the past for warranty claims).I checked on the grill, front fenders and hood.

Materials arrive Monday so Iāll work on it next week. Iāll post after I install. Iāve already done the door hinges and door sills.
Good luck. Xpel and others will provide dealers/installers in your area.
Iāll let you know it goes. I got the ppf in this afternoon and will install tomorrow.We must be in a similar market.

It didnāt go well. I started with the grill and had too many bubbles that would not go away. So, I said āthatās enoughā and am taking it to the guy who did my Lexus and JK.Good luck. I am interested to hear how it went.
