[QUOTE="Don N, post: 1738249, member: 43865"] From what I can see in post #19, I would say most of those could possibly have been fixable without having to redo it, if it was caught early enough. Of course, as soon as dirt gets under there, you basically have to redo the whole panel. However, there are a few options available, depending on what direction the shop wanted to go with for fixing those issues. It's hard to compare a clear PPF wrap vs a stealth wrap. You can get away with some seams/paint showing more easily on a clear PPF wrap than the stealth wrap, since all of the exposed original paint sections would stand out more. Like what FordLoco posted, he doesn't have the same issue as you around the head light trim, because he has seams in some of those areas to relieve the stress. Unless the second piece of film butts up perfectly with the first piece, you're going to be left with a somewhat noticeable transition/gap. However, as mentioned, the headlight trim on the G2 trucks are a real hurdle to wrap in PPF, so you just gotta work with it however you can. [/QUOTE]
