Default How much are people paying for whole body PPF?

I have a 24 Z06 HTC in the works. Was quoted 10,500 to PPF entire car (no paint correction, no ceramic coat)… What are you all paying for this? That seems high to me.

$0 in my case.
Ive owned five corvettes, never had any of them covered with this kind of thing. Wash and wax as needed and used the $$ elsewhere.
if you want to cover your car, go for it.

For me, it’s added insurance since I park in a ramp at work and do not have an assigned space. Every car I’ve ever parked in the ramp (without PPF) has sustained paint damage from people walking between cars or brushing up with your car with their backside as they get into their car. Sometimes this damage is a simple as a superficial clearcoat stuff sometimes however, it is a much deeper scratch. Everyone’s situation is different and for those of you who are retired, are fortunate enough to be able to park in larger or assigned parking spaces, or are more tolerant of paint damage, PPF may be superfluous. For me, having paint in good condition is part of the experience of owning a sports car. No wax or coating can provide the level of protection of a film.

Around $6k in SoCal. Mine was mid-$5k only because I locked in a quote a year before prices went up. And I locked it in a year early because my C8 took 13 months to deliver

$10.5K seems very high. But check around at other good installers and see what they charge.
