Congrats, matte looks sweet! Gonna have to consider the matte with my PPF if/whenever I get an allocation. I'm on same timeline of placing deposit in early May but still no allocation.

Finally picked up the car from the shop yesterday. Here are a few more photos from the shop - the matte PPF really brought out the flow lines of the car. I especially love the side profile looking from the back with all the lines.

From a little while ago when installing the mid pipes. Liked the lighting

25% -- I'm happy with it, but if I had to do it over, I might go with 30-35% as it's just tad bit darker than I'd like at night. In the daytime however, it's pretty great.
Want to do something like 70% on the front at some point just to have it a bit more balanced.

Love the matte PPF. I talked myself out of ordering my RS3 in Daytona Grey as my SQ7 is already in that colour. I'm rethinking that now and perhaps doing the same finish.

For the full wrap, it was $6K for the DynoMatt. He also wrapped the grill and headlight/taillight in DynoFlex.

I think he quoted us DynoFlex (Clear) for $5,800.

Obviously, the pricing is different by area. For reference, this was done in Seattle - East Side (Kirkland/Bellevue/Redmond), which I think has a pretty high cost compared to when I was in Pittsburgh.

Thanks skitz_marz ! The 3M Pro v.4 PPF, for just the very front bumper, would have been around $500 at the shop in Pittsburgh. About $2K for all the things I got covered for that first round of PPF.

As I mentioned before.. choose your detail shop wisely. If you're in Pittsburgh, go to North Pitt Auto Spa. That is the only shop I recommend in the Pittsburgh area. Might cost more there, and they use XPEL (which is a better product), but Nate is the guy to see there for his attention to detail. Official detailer of Pittsburgh Cars 'N' Coffee.
