Re-painted the front end of the car at the end of last year and finally had the XPEL PPF done so I can drive the car again. Bumper, full hood and fenders. One of my biggest regrets was not doing the PPF when I originally bought the car.

Looks lovely! As a fellow GG owner (with SE lip to boot) thinking about this in the back of my mind...can I inquire how much it cost for the repaint + PPF? And were there issues matching given the age of the rest of the paint?

Painting was about 1700 and PPF 1950. They told me to wait a minimum six months before applying the PPF, so I parked the car for the better part of a year.
No issues matching the paint, but since I bought my second car nine years ago the Evo is parked in a garage the majority of the time out of the sun.
Ran a drill bit thru each hole. My driver side was completely clogged. My left side looked ok but i still got plenty of crap out.
if you plan to do this be careful with the ball joint boot if you dont have the oe heatshields. Luckily i put a mini heatshield on mine
Added a Rexpeed Varis style rear diffuser. Happy with the quality. Rexpeed price was a lot better than the $$$ official Varis brand and I didn’t have to wait 4-6 months for it to be built.
I did have to make a bracket/bar to push the CF just a bit from touching my muffler but some modification is expected with aftermarket exhaust’s.
