Thanks - you got me right lol
I went from a 2016 A6 to a 2018 A4 because my A6 was too wide for my narrow condo garage - couldn't get out of the driver's door unless I put the right front an inch from the garage wall. Too risky! The C8's are even wider, so the A4.

1st off congrats. same color combo as mine it looks like. I did the full front/full hood/3/4 quarters/mirror full panels below doors and top of rear bumper so I don't scuff with my golf bag! to me ppf film is a must especially up here in Boston.

Thanks! How much does something like that cost. I know it isn’t cheap.

I believe I paid about $1300 for Lumar film for the package I got which included them getting the car ready for film. to me its $ well spent. I was going to also get a ceramic coating but decided against that and instead will have the car detailed every few months with a sealant. I figure I can do that about 10 times versus the ceramic cost as I usually move on from my cars in 3-4 years.

That’s in the window I was expecting. I’ve asked for recommendations and have a place I will look into getting it done soon. Thanks for the info

Anyone remember how long the trial subscription is for XM? I have it currently in my old car which I sold and will be transferring in 3 weeks. My current subscription runs until 5/1. So I want to time it so I don't overlap.
PS: I've had XM since 2004 and have never paid full price. I think my average comes to around $9/month. Well worth it in my opinion. Just call and say you are going to cancel and they will work a deal.
