Full front, track pack
or full body PPF
Paint protection film is not one product, it is a decision about how much of the car gets armor. Here is what each coverage level actually protects, who it fits, and where more film stops making sense. All of it installed with genuine XPEL film in our Santa Ana studio, open daily 9 to 8.
How much car
do you want to keep?
These are real tiers in how the car is built, Each level includes everything before it.
Partial Front
Leading edge of the hood and fenders, full bumper, mirrors. The budget answer. Honest caveat: a film line sits visibly across the hood.
Full Front
Full bumper, full hood, full fenders, mirrors, headlights. Edge-to-edge, seams wrapped, no visible line. The coverage we recommend most.
Track Pack
Full front plus rockers, A-pillars and the roof edge, the panels that catch debris at speed on the 91, Ortega, or a track day.
Full Body
Every painted panel, gloss or factory-satin Stealth. Multi-day build; the car leaves effectively sealed against chips and road rash.
Why full front is
the one we recommend
Most rock damage lands on the nose: bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors. A full front films exactly that zone edge to edge, so there is no line across the hood, no half-protected panel aging on two schedules, and nothing to explain when you sell the car.
On the freeway-heavy commutes we see from Irvine, Newport and Yorba Linda, a full front of self-healing XPEL film is the difference between a three-year-old front end that looks new and one that looks sandblasted.
- Covers where most chips actually land
- No visible film line on the hood
- Self-healing top coat, swirls fade with heat
- One-day install, car back the same evening
Coverage questions,
straight answers
The whole nose of the car: full bumper, full hood, full fenders, mirror caps and usually the headlights. Everything that faces the freeway is filmed edge to edge, with seams wrapped out of sight. On a partial front, a visible line crosses the hood instead.
A partial front protects the leading edges and costs less, but it leaves a visible film line on the hood and unprotected paint above it. If you notice details or plan to keep the car, full front is the coverage we recommend most. The hood ages evenly and there is no line to see.
Full front plus the panels that catch rubber and debris at speed: rockers, a-pillars and the leading roof edge. It is the setup for canyon cars and track day regulars, the same places gravel guns for on the 91 or Ortega.
Every painted panel on the car, filmed panel by panel with wrapped edges. Gloss film disappears on the paint; Stealth does the same job in factory satin. It is a multi-day install done properly, and the car that comes out is effectively sealed against rock chips and road rash.
Honest rule of thumb: a daily freeway commuter gets a full front. A keeper car, dark paint, or anything you photograph gets a track pack or more. A new exotic, a satin conversion, or a car headed to auction someday gets full body. Tell us how the car lives and we will tell you where film stops paying for itself.
