SNEAK PEEK: Stealth Skyscraper M550

Sharing photos my shop sent over today of my PPF/tint progress. Having my '23 Skyscraper Grey M550 full wrapped in XPEL Stealth, in addition to XPEL Fusion Ceramic Coating and XPEL Prime XR 45% tint. Also replaced the stock PZero rf's with nrf PSAS4's. Should be ready for pickup next Wednesday.

Professional quality pics but it doesn't do it justice. Looks amazing in person. So glad I pulled the trigger on the satin wrap. This color was made for it.

Given it's one of the last G30 ICE V8's as long as I can. Own vs lease so no mandatory return to BMW.

Any final pictures and how much was the total cost? Nice investment since you plan to keep your car as long as possible.

I have a 22 m550i currently wrapped in inozetek mambo green and I’m thinking about taking off the wrap and doing this exact thing to my car (bluestone metallic OEM paint). I had several quotes for xpel ppf. Bulk installs from reputable dealers are in the 7-10k range and plotter/cpu cut installs are around 5k. I’m located in AZ for reference.

To the owner or this vehicle: has maintenance been an issue for you? I hand wash my at least once per week. Has keeping it clean been easier or harder than before the ppf? Did you get ceramic coat over the ppf?

Of course I’ll post them.

I bought the car wrapped like this. At first I hated the color but it’s really grown on me it’s very unique and random people stop me and ask about the car all the time. The car currently has the two tone bmw wheels and yellow M calipers but I think I’m gunna powder coat the wheels black and do the xpel stealth ppf after summer is over.
