The shop that installed the PPF did me a favor and installed it for me. He said it wasn’t too bad, just have to be careful in taking off the mirror

Did you install the 50th anniversary badge yourself. How difficult is it ?

I did. It was fairly simply. The front one has an adhesive so took my time lifting it with a plastic prying tool and masking tape around the area. The back one has plastic prongs so fairly easy to get off.

The wheel ones are easy to take with a small flat head screw. I used the ones for eye glasses repairs and it popped right off.

Congrats!!!!!

I appreciate. The shop did a great job I think and were very easy to work with. It took them about 1.5 weeks and I didn’t want to drive the car until they got it wrapped so the car was sitting in the garage for 2 weeks, the wait was the hardest part.

If anyone needs the name of the shop, let me know. It’s in Sacramento

Looks really great! Did you tint/wrap the rear badges or order the m performance ones online? Don’t even have my Dune Grey M50 yet and I’m already wanting to black those out in the rear

I enjoy the car very much. I drive about 100 miles each day and it’s a very comfortable ride. I’ve no complaints overall

Wow, the matte Arctic Race looks awesome. I've been thinking about PPF on mine (also Arctic Race), definitely pulling the trigger now.
