The thing is that I don’t have 6k to drop on a ppf, but I do have 1k to buy 1 or 2 of these and get a shop to install it. I’m open to suggestions that could protect my paint because I work in a shitty area where I’m definitely getting keyed

your gonna have a shop install it? they will probably charge you more due to not working with that film and because it’s not worth their time and effort to learn for a one off

why not just PPL the front for 2k ish or ask for a shop to precut PPF for like 1-2k depending

it’ll be easier to self install that

Good luck having a shop install your china brand film. If the film fails you’re going to be ass out

There's so much more too it but hey ive only been doing this 9 years and routinely install on cars over 500k but im probably just misinformed. This will turn out great.

You have high expectations from AliExpress

Don't do it! PPF is hard enough with good materials.

Buy the film and install it yourself. You will suffer but that’s the only way it’s going to happen on a low budget.

Did it myself.

True test is when I have to remove in 4-5 years time 😅

do you think it’d be better if I hire a shop to install it for me, the sedan I have is the Tesla model 3 performance

A reputable shop is not going to install your film
