Noticed the rear hatch hinges are not PPF. Does it bug you? Is there a reason they didn't do that part? Texture issues? Tough as hell to do right?
No, doesn’t bug me. I actually like the contrast it gives. Not sure the reason, but they told me from the start it wasn’t going to be wrapped. If I had to guess, I think it’s a texture issue.

Good to know. I think it looks fine and was surprised that I liked it not being ppf. I’m doing stealth wrap. I wasn’t worried about roll bars either but mine is cactus grey. Should be fine. Nice job. Love the fact you can go back to gloss easily in the future. I’m not bothering with non painted surfaces. Door sills definitely. Did you take the top off for them to do it?

I didn’t take the top off for them, but they did remove the soft top windows.

My bad. Didn’t pay attention. I assume everyone has a hardtop like me. :)

My Cactus Grey is currently in the process of getting satin wrapped!

Except the whole idea with tempered glass is that it breaks into very tiny pieces that might scratch you but won't murder you. Without tempered glass it would break into large, shards that are quite fatal. With a film, the risk is that the entire windshield won't shatter and will come inside the cabin as a sheet that could also be quite fatal.

Edit* I have seen companies offering PPF on windshields, but they seem to eventually remove that service and print a retraction, since it's illegal. If it weren't for the safety issues, I'd love to have it done. I replace windshields about every 2 years due to all the gravel on the roads.
Windshield glass is laminated, it's not meant to break and fly off in the same way as tempered. That would be really disasterous on a windshield for minor breaks. Sides and rear are tempered and break away.

Had some work done on my Bronco and just picked it up from the shop after a longer than expected wait. Apparently, the current shipping issues affect the PPF/wrap industry too!

As the title says, got my Bronco wrapped in GSWF Defender Satin PPF and then ceramic coated with Ceramic Pro. The shop I went to also just started doing windshield protection film services, so had them protect mine with STEK DYNOflex Windshield Protection Film. Also had them paint my Badlands grill gloss black, PPF the door sills, and install black Ford oval and bucking bronco emblems. I’ll try and post pics of the emblems tomorrow. Super happy with how it all turned out. If you’re in the Houston area, hit up Clutch City Customs if you’re in the market for PPF, vinyl wrap, tint, ceramic coating, etc.

You got great taste dude. Have been a bit hesitant to do this to my shadow black with hard top.

How is the contrast between the wrap and your MIC flares? I’m worried the satin finish will look too similar to the MIC top and wont look great If theres not much contrast. Would be sick if you could shoot me some closer photos the the flares next to the wrap.

There’s a little contrast, but I don’t think it clashes, IMO. Here’s a closeup (sorry for the dirty truck 😆). Also depends on the brand of the PPF. I’m thinking there will be some variance between companies.
