    Hi Tulli, The place that did my PPF and ceramic coat. The ceramic coat is BC 1 and the PPF is Stek paint protection. They call it a track wrap the full front of the 4runner and mirrors and up the pillars. Along the sides of the doors up about a foot and behind the rear wheels. Also what I like they removed the mudflaps and the wrap is under that so now I don’t have to worry about the mudflaps cutting into the paint from rubbing. The reason I know this from having other 4Runners and Tacoma’s. Just the vibration makes the mudflaps move.
    As far as the tint i only had my front doors done to match and that’s ceramic. This is my second vehicle I had done with PPF and ceramic coat. Hope this helps.

    Nice! I did the exact same thing + a few extra bits (door cups, inner door sills, rear bumper for the dog jumping in/out).

    Think my guy uses Expel for the PPF and IGL for the ceramic coating. Have it one of my other cars too and has held up amazing these past few years.

    Awesome, Yes I forgot the door cups he added. Yeah I left the rear bumper go cause I have a dog blanket that covers that. So I just decided to pass on the rear bumper.

    Just a quick update: If you get a Wescot Design or C4 Fab Ladder, I definitely recommend getting new struts for your rear hatch. I went with Part Number: PM4005 at Lift Supports Direct. Just received and installed them in a matter of minutes with the help of my next door neighbor. They are perfect and I’m sure they could handle allot more weight if I wanted but getting groceries on a cold day and not having the hatch hit me in the head is all I need.
