I opted for the front bumper PPF from the dealer because it was free labor and only $200 for the film in my case, and I did my headlights with a ($50) XPEL kit from their website.

Quotes for full hood, fenders, along with rocker panels have been about $1500 in my area, which while reasonable enough is still pricey after forking out all the money on the car.

My question is, being my bumper and headlights are done, which is the next most high impact area? In most cases I'd guess fenders and hood, but I have some greater concerns about the rockers and fronts of the rear fenders on this car that only someone that has been driving the car for a while is likely to answer properly (i.e. not guessing).

I'd like recommendations based on experience with your car and where you have noticed the most impacts. Thank you in advance as I have been debating this over and over for days.
