Opticoat issue - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

My frs that is coming in, already has the factory installed paint protection film applied. I was wondering if also putting a layer of opticoat wouldn't be necessary. What do you guys think?

Paint protection film only covers the half of the hood and fenders.

I suggest getting opti coat and a bumper bra as well

I hate those half hood clear bras, as time passes the seam gets gunked up with waxes and dust. Full hood or bust.

With opticoat, you won't need wax
