So I am getting front bumper, lower hood, and lower fender paint protection film, Opti-Coat Pro+, and tint done. I'll post up some pics when complete. Here is an in progress pic:

What percentage of tint are you going with?

I do not think you can go wrong with any of these major coatings these days. Optimum Polymer Technologies has been in the game for a long time. Car looks beautiful btw, enjoy!

Car looks awesome! Yups, the prep is the most important. The application of the coating is secondary. Buy some Optimum Instant Detailer for more gloss and slick. I keep a bottle of it in my trunk to wipe off bird crap. The concentrated version of it lasts a year. Mix it with distilled water. After you wash your car it can be applied as a drying aid. No need to wait to use it with the car dried off.

Opticoat Pro and clear bra is the best investment for your car!

20% all around. Texas limit is 35% on front windows but no limit on all others.

Not that it really matters but it's actually 25%
