What is pricing running for just clear PPF protection? Do shops clean and prep truck before installation.?
Would there be any benefit to just PPF the frunk? Kind of like a clear bra PPF I had on my M3P.

I paid 4k for PPF and a ceramic coat. They did all the prep work. I couldn’t stand the fingerprints all over constantly. I’m sure clear is slightly cheaper material cost. I’d do the doors before the front end.

    • This varies based on the location. Here in Houston, I was quoted $7000 for full coverage.

    • Yes

    • This is where your truck is most likely to take impacts from rocks and bugs. It would help prevent scratches and make it easier to clean. The issue is that it would be hard to match the finish of the rest of the vehicle, since it's not glossy and its not perfectly matte.

Thanks for responses. I was worried about the bugs for sure but it makes sense for the doors.. fingerprints are hard to remove .

Car spray and washes do an awesome job at removing the fingerprints.

Where are you located? If in Los Angeles, give me a call 213 267-7104 and we can talk about different PPF options as there are many now. Clear, Stealth (Matte) and color options.

Here is why Colored PPF is a Popular Choice for Cybertruck Owners

The reason many clients are opting for colored PPF is due to the imperfections often found in the stainless steel body of the Cybertruck. When gloss or stealth PPF is applied, it tends to make these imperfections more noticeable, highlighting the flaws in the raw metal.

For clients who prefer the original look of the Cybertruck but want to minimize these imperfections, we offer a colored PPF that closely matches the factory finish. This option provides a more refined appearance while still maintaining the unique character of the vehicle.

This one below received a full body clear XPEL PPF with our F16 satin black silhouette kit around the windows.

We also recommend installing our Fender Flare protections, especially since those plastic panels are prone to scratching and tend to look gray over time. These protections help maintain a more polished and durable finish.
