I will also get the car ppf, unfortunately, it's a bit more expensive due to being the frozen grey semi-matt paint. Also needs special ceramic coating, not sure yet if I go for it.

If you are using Xpel’s Stealth PPF for your Frozen Grey I think you can put regular ceramic coating on top of that. I would check a few shops and ask that question.

Ceramic Pro Kavaca PPF (full car) with ceramic on top yes.

Kavaca window tint on all windows including front as well for UV protection and heat (asked for the lightest option)

It's at the installer now.

Ceramic Pro's KAVACA Matte Finish PPF is an excellent product and you should be happy with the results. Which shop are you using?

I’m not doing matte - the PB finish is too pretty to matte up. I would do matte on a grey or white, but not a personal fan on blues and reds.

It’s in Sarasota.

For some reason I thought you had a Frozen finish, sorry for my mistake.

Ceramic Pro makes excellent products so you should be really satisfied. IIRC, they have a 12 year warranty on their PPF products so ask for a copy of that warranty. It should have the date of the installation, your name, the certified installer's name, etc written on it. I put Xpel PPF on my Z4 and received completed warranty paperwork like this.

Looks like an exact clone of my car.

What color interior did you go with?

Black with blue stitching….fairly simple but timeless. I’m always afraid something special will not do it for me anymore a couple years down the road.

It was between that and the white for me. Ended up taking the risk, went for the white and I love it. Hopefully it stands up over time as well as the black will.

Congrats and you're going to love it.
