    Such negativity! Good choice OP, I full front PPF all my cars. Decisions are also based on where you live.

    I'm in AZ, home of cracked windshields and rock chips, and gotta front PPF if you don't want your car to look like it was hit by bird shot.

    Inverse perspective: anybody who talks about rust, undercoat and protection must be fools wasting money because thats whay metal does, it rusts. Just cause it's not a problem for me due to 10% humidity year round, doesn't mean it's the same everywhere.

    My Taco was in excellent shape except horrible front paint chips when I traded it in. My wife's 6yo Macan was utterly spotless except one small tear in the bumper PPF when we traded it in.

    62500k for a Tacoma that hurts my heart. These truck prices are stupid. OP I have a buddy that would PPF his house if he could. You do you , congrats on the truck.

    I did my truck when it was new, 2 years later it’s still easier to keep clean. Worth it for that alone!

    i got 2019 green rs5 got quoted at carmax for 45k and it does not have ppf, bought used with 14k miles now 40k miles, wax and sealed only. I did ppf on my 1M and GT3, those worth doing, even with gt3, still get rock chips.

    Eventually though... Here's the SETD-installed PPF on my 8.5 year old 3rd gen just before I removed it last week. Most of what you see is staining of the PPF itself and doesn't come off with a wash. Truck is always parked in the driveway with trees overhead.

    Interestingly, the 2017-installed PPF on my garage-parked funcar remains perfect.

    The factory clear protection on the rear fenders of my 2G got like that. Bleach it and it will look much better.
