For those that have had PPF, did they end up carving out (or cutting around) the sensors and the tow-hook cover? I had mine PPF'd and they are not carved out and therefore you see "white" or hazy clear in the gap between the sensor and the bumper.
Charitably speaking...let's hope they forgot. Absolutely yes that stuff gets trimmed around.

What mine looks like -with- PPF...you can't even tell.

Yup, that would be the charitable way to think about. Here goes another couple of hours to get it resolved. Janky...

It looks like a really clean job otherwise though. I bet it trims up just fine.

Tow hook yes, sensors no. My sensors looked like yours the first few days then dried out. Now it’s seamless.

Hopefully it was just a mistake. Take a look at the rest of the car or have someone who has PPF’d their car professionally to see if there’s any other deficiencies.

Removed tow hook cover - wrapped inside the hole. Wrapped the cover than reinstalled.

I did PPF on '21 Taycan Turbo S and also ceramic.

https://www.autopaintguard.com/gallery/

Also tinted....if anyone in Tampa Bay Area highly recommended. Not affiliated other than a customer...Top notch but expensive but worth every penny with quality and professionalism...Taking my 911 Turbo S there in few weeks also...

Hey, I’m in Tampa. That looks great. I’m currently awaiting delivery of my Turbo S, which is scheduled to happen this month post-TPMS delay. Are you willing to share how much you ended up paying for PPF, ceramic coating and tinting at auto paint guard? TIA

I had the from end of the car wrapped at the dealership. I can't tell where the wrap starts and where it ends.

Anyone noticed rock chips or micro scratches on the doors behind the front fender vents?

Would this part of the door need PPF?

It's not a problem for those with the power charge port cover

I got a full PPF install just a month ago and yes, all the sensors were covered. It doesn't seem to affect their performance though and I'm not bothered by the slightly visible film over the gap.

No but I'd wrap the doors. I thought it through then ended up doing the entire car. It's worth it if anyone wants to keep their paint pristine for years and thousands of miles.
