If you lease you don’t pay the full amount. It seems a bit exhorbitant to do that after market for the look. I can see the other benefits of PPF though.
I PPF my cars for the protection, transforming to a matte finish is just an added feature

does matte finish PPF feel different when you rub your hand over it? (like the same sensation when running your hand over real frozen paint?)

My order is for a black sapphire and making it matte seems like a great idea!

Thanks!

Yes, it does feel more like a matte paint than a glossy paint

Nice change to the car, matte might suit the shape well.

Do you feel self conscious driving with those kidneys glowing?

I love how BMW implemented those illuminated grilles.

The whole point is for others to admire them. Otherwise, what's the use of having them illuminated?

Somehow that reminded me of my former girlfriend who was extremely well-endowed. During the first few months that we went out together, I was very self-conscious because all men(teenagers in the neighborhood and even my 96-year-old grandpa) were all staring. Sometimes I felt mad... but eventually, I felt proud to be walking next to her. However, after it became a long distance relationship, it didn't work out after 2 years.
