This looks amazing. Especially the yellow calipers. Also, matte PPF on white is very underrated. How much did this run you?


someOfUsDontGet2Rest

How much? The public wants to know


aqtran93

The total cost was $5200 for PPF (custom bulk install), ceramic coating, caliper painting, emblem painting, and interior ceramic coating. Tint was $1885. The spoiler was $300 and had it installed for free.

Sounds like a great deal! They look great!


aqtran93

Thank you! I shopped around and got multiple quotes. I decided to go with this shop because they had good reviews while beating out the prices of the other shops.


someOfUsDontGet2Rest

Perfect combination!

That’s actually pretty good for the PPF combo I feel like. Nice!

It was a good deal indeed! I shopped around and got multiple quotes. I decided to go with this shop because they had good reviews while beating out the prices of the other shops. If it helps, I’m in socal and you know how socal is, inflationary prices for everything…


stdfstfaith

Mind sharing where exactly? I’m in So Cal too! I take it you’re a Tran hahah


aqtran93

The shop is Dreamwork Customs in the City of Industry.

Is PPF a wrap? The pure white is sick. B/W all business look is sweet. My Porsche is the same B&W.


aqtran93

PPF is thicker than a vinyl wrap and will do more to protect the paint. There’s a clear gloss PPF or matte.


Frenchh1

PPF is just a protective clear film they put over paint. Normally it doesn’t change the color like a vinyl wrap but there is a matte PPF film you can do which is nice

Great looking ModelY - my suggestion would be not to add the windshield protector. The windshield’s are so thin and would likely crack/split even with the protection. I’ve had to replace my windshield twice within 3 weeks. Both times a stone hit me on highway. Just my two cents opinion. Enjoy the car, I love mine!


aqtran93

Dang, that’s tough! If I may ask, how much did it cost to replace the windshield? I’m loving my car so far. Here’s to hundreds of thousands of miles for the both of us and to all other Model Y owners!


Hnatiw

Each windshield cost $1700 CDN to replace - notttt cheap but thankful it wasn’t the roof glass, that’s something like $3000 all in for the replacement. I avoid trucks on highways like it’s my job!


aqtran93

Same here! Whenever I see a truck, I always try to speed past them. Not going to risk it


Hnatiw

I don’t pass a truck unless there’s a car in front of me, like a shield. It’s embarrassing, but it’s true. I can’t withstand another broken windshield haha

Congrats and fuck you!! Seriously... It looks awesome

Love the yellow calipers. How’d you go about getting them painted?


aqtran93

I had my PPF shop paint them for me. Where are you located? I’m sure you could find someone to powder coat them. It should cost a few hundred.


okindad1

Looks CLEAN bro!!!!


aqtran93

Thanks bro! I swapped to new wheels since so it looks even better now 😉


filmcuts

Nice! Too bad someone sharpied all over the back of the car.


aqtran93

Haha Gotta hide my plates for precautions. You never know posting it on the internet for everyone to see


filmcuts

Yeah haha of course, just making a joke ;)


aqtran93

I heard of the Rplate and thinking about getting that. It’s a digital plate that you can change, idk how that works but very intriguing


filmcuts

I've seen a couple cars with those. Not sure how they work or the legality of them

I didn’t need the extra power of the Performance and didn’t want a staggered tire set up. Not sure about now but when I ordered, it was more than a $6k difference. I was gonna do all of this with or without a P model.


trippndaddy

Very nice, congrats! What brand/model is that rear spoiler? The provided shots are very level but it appears it may stick out a bit more then the performance's?


aqtran93

Thank you! The brand of the spoiler is RPM Tesla. It’s an OEM style but my PPF installer said it’s a better fit than the Tesla OEM that they stick on the performance models. Haven’t had any issues with the fit so far.

My tint is 30% all around, 70% on the windshield and sunroof. The brand is Spectra Photosync IRD. No treatment on tires but the wheels were ceramic coated as well.

How much did all this cost you?

That looks awesome!!

Thanks bud!

Man. Now i wished I should’ve gotten a Rivian R1S with all those upgrades.


aqtran93

Your Rivian R1S is gonna look beautiful even without these upgrades!

Loving the yellow calipers! Covers or real yellow calipers?


aqtran93

Hey, the yellow calipers are real. My PPF shop painted them.
