I think Kevins2 had quite a bit of PPF applied to his so you might check with him. I installed about $1200 in PPF kits (XPEL) on my GT350 so I guess that makes me in favor of it. I also installed some pieces on my ERA - primarily the rockers up to below the doors, the rear fender flares and the roll under behind the rear tires. Trying to do the front of a Cobra with bulk PPF is beyond the capability of most of us - so I just keep my distance from everyone to avoid road rash up front. But if you are going to drive quite a bit in traffic or highways you really do need something up there - or figure at some point out in the future, just getting the front end re-sprayed.

A lot of the GT350 guys have their whole car wrapped because they track them. It usually requires partially stripping the car to removes lights, emblems, mirrors, bumpers, etc to get a clean installation - so that may be a factor in your decision.

Only drawback I see (provided a really good installer is used who is careful with his cuts and doesn't cut the paint) is that they say it needs to be stripped off in 6 - 8 years approximately and replaced or it starts getting more difficult to remove and can risk damage to the paint. But these cars spend a good deal of time parked in a garage and used for weekend fun - which I would think would greatly extend the life over a daily driver.

Anyway - that's what I know.
