PPF Help

[TraxMoe]

No point in squabbling about how crappy a job those hacks did. If they did that poor of a job. I'm with you and wouldn't want to bring it back to them. There are plenty of reputable installers out there. It's just too bad you found one that that does shitty work. PPF and detail shops are like hiring an employee, you need to interview them before you hire them. Sometimes you get what you pay for

Hell, I just had Hershey's PPF on the front fascia replaced because I messed up. I was willing to wait for the main installer / owner to return from vacation so he could replace the stripe and PPF. After it was all said and done it cost me $850 , that included the detail guy to paint correct and remove any old adhesive. Plus there were some rock hits to the PPF that I wanted fixed.

That lifted from some installation issues. You won't get that to restick if it's been on there a while. Best bet is to get a super sharp utility knife or knife with snap able blades to trim that. Light pressure to score the film the snap it off. That section is plastic, even if you do cut the paint, it's not going to rust.

Thanks. And You’re 100% correct.

‘I’m almost ashamed how much I paid. But I had a lot done. Paint correction, ceramic coating ,PPF In key areas and tinted windows. And You’re right, no point in squabbling about it anymore. I’m good now.

Beer and cheers.

One last comment, Of course they let the soapy water , whatever they used for the windshield weatherstrip tint dry on my dashboard. Chemical Guys makes an all purpose cleaner I might try. What exactly material are our dashboards made out of?
And there’s a few streaks ON my tinted windows. My car looks awesome though. Has a mirror shine. I have a couple jealous, nosy neighbors too. But don’t we all

WTF...he's an icon

Not that it currently matters to your predicament, but sooner or later you may be busting up that front splitter something worse than just a scrape.

The splitter itself is dirt cheap, about $100 and change. You can't even fill a tank of gas for that price.

Don't know if this will help, but when I used to do graphics, we used a heat gun to soften material and a plastic squeegee/bond applicator to push the lifted areas back in place....my.02

No. I thought about taking my car to one of their locations though.

You could touch up the bottom of that splitter with a color appropriate sharpie. If you ever do any more damage to it down the road those parts are easy for the dealer to replace. I was at the dealer before when a guy was picking up the part to replace his from curb rash

Splitter is cheap, but not necessarily easy to replace as you have to pop the bumper off to do it.

Oh wow I didn’t realize that. When I had my lower grille replaced from hitting a bird in the charger it cost 75 bux for the part and I took it to my mechanic he did have to take the front bumper clip off to sandwich it in. Didn’t know that doing the lip splitter on the challenger required that also.

If I were you...I would trade it in on a new one...regardless of who fixes it...it will never drive the same...and the only way to get peace of mind..get rid of it...
