Nice job - out of curiosity, can you share an approximate cost? This is an option I am considering although I was planning to include the side skirts and parts of the rear too including the CT fender covers.

I had thought about doing the rear as the turbo models, but decided against it. The front cost me $350. Thought that was cheap for the job. I personally think it makes a huge improvement.
Please post pix if you do yours, may change my mind lol!

That is very reasonable indeed - a 3rd party shop or the dealers body shop?
Will def post but car still to arrive in Dec (although might be early Jan - constantly changing)!

Looks good. I would seriously consider applying PPF to at least the front bumper. My unpainted lower lip and louvers have some road debris damage at only ~1000 miles.

+ 100% - I can still recall the last car I did not do that on, a long time back, my BMW E46 Sportwagon, and it was totally pebble dashed from Houston road debris - trauma still there

A friend/body shop owner who lives in my subdivision did it. Said with the cost of the paint should have been a higher charge. I am considering putting xpel over it to protect it.

Ah - makes sense as TBH that is indeed low cost for a high quality application.
