What surfaces did you get covered? Do you mind sharing the cost?
I did mine with the same coating and tinted the orange side markers. For the full front, hood, windshield frame and both fenders it was $1,800.

Jeeps lots of jeeps
I got impatient and decided to install the Smittybilt side armor despite there being over a foot of snow on the ground.

The jeep doesn't fit in a garage so I laid a comforter over the snow/under the jeep and got to it.

I completed the driver side. Frostbite started to set in so I'll complete the passenger side tomorrow.

Attempting to install a Rigid 10" light to my Rubi steel bumper but the brackets don't line up to the holes on the bumper. Do I need different brackets? I don't think it's close enough to be able to bend the brackets to make them work. I couldn't find an install video anywhere so any help is appreciated.

@Clipper216, what lift do you have? I really like the lift/tire size combo you have.

I wanted to do the whole hood, but the installer said that he'll have to remove the Rubicon decal as it won't bond properly with the PPF and it will make the logo glossy underneith. I obviously didn't wanna do that and ended up doing just the front part of the hood right up to the beginning of the R decal across the hood. Looks good and can't really see it being there. Paid $200

As expected, the passenger side bag blocks the right rear window entirely.

Think you will keep it up or does it make you feel uncomfortable since it blocks your view? I thought about getting these so just curious about your review.

I'm going to try it out to see if it's going to be a nuisance. I suspect I can adjust my mirror so I don't have a blind spot, but we'll see. If it's a problem I may just use the passenger side bag for weekend camping trips. Thankfully, the driver side bag easily fit my 30 foot tow strap, air compressor, D rings, jumper cables, and other assorted items.

Will be tempting for crooks too, just a thought. Valuables in plain sight are never a good thing.

Thank you, it sounds like your install worked out great.
