Help me decide: PPF or WRAP?
Gents,

im a bit conflicted as to whether or not i should Paint Protection Film the LC or just color change it with inozetc super glossy wrap. Pricing is about the same, but i want to protect my paint from rock chips.

https://www.inozetek.ca/collections/super-gloss-colors

Colors im looking at are

Miami Blue https://www.inozetek.ca/collections/...cts/miami-blue
Snow Blue https://www.inozetek.ca/collections/...now-blue-sg740
Turquoise Dream https://www.inozetek.ca/collections/...urquoise-dream
Sand https://www.inozetek.ca/collections/.../products/sand
Piggy Bank https://www.inozetek.ca/collections/...cts/piggy-bank
Kenmery Blue https://www.inozetek.ca/collections/...pecial-edition

Below is Miami blue on the LC500 which is sort of my forerunner option right now

how often you drive on hwy? wrap doesn't protect a lot from rock chips.

blue looks good on the lexus...don't even think about sand or piggy bank.

The wrap is 1/3 the thickness of ppf I guess. Still some protection right ? I wanted it protected because I was going to take it down to LA along the Oregon coast. Figure the color change is just a bonus.

What prices have you been quoted? I don't think a colour change with no door jambs is the same price as a full body PPF.

no ive never heard of this, thanks for the heads up.

From what ive found online, its a colored PPF thats about 8milmeters thick vs this inozetec wrap at 3.7-4.1milmeters thick.

So double the protection. Any idea who uses this locally?

How exactly is the inozetek midnight purple NOT on your list???? That is utter madness.

Otherwise just get a PPF. You’re not a 22 year old with an frs

A rock chip is gonna tear right through that vinyl.

You could PPF the front bumper and hood, then wrap over it I guess?

midnight purp is too GTR34. Isn't it heresy to put a Nissan color on a Toyota?

@Badhobz as of 2023 your fellow Corolla’s won’t be blessed with Blue Streak anymore They’re dropping that colour and replacing it dark blue and inferno orange.

You’ll only be confused with pre-facelift ’rollas

I’m hoping in 5-7 years that the Mazda soul red will all be dead as well (rust) and when I finally unwrap it, the red on red will look good. Hohohohoho
