Thanks! Between the Xpel PPF and Halo ceramic coating it’s been pretty much scratch free (I just jinxed myself….). I’ve been really pleased with how well they’ve held up. Several times I’ve seen what looked like rock chips only to have them wash off. I also had a rock strike on the hood that didn’t go through the PPF and rubbed out with a little light work and the PPF self healed.
Self healing is the beauty of PPF.

Still waiting on my car to arrive from the BMW Processing Center in California, but here is a photo of the car I am trading in (2021 Camaro SS) for my Z4 and a photo of my Z4's older brother (2002 M Roadster).

No body twist, just no rear sway bar.

Another photo where you can see how far the rear wheel is pushed up into the fender.

Not sure of the physics, but it seem RWD cars like to pick up a front wheel while FWD cars like to pick up a rear wheel.
