OP, the prices you were quoted seem reasonable and even favorable relative to US pricing. I understand full PPF is en vogue but I suggest skipping it and going front clip + rockers.

I decided to use the one in Sevilla, he is including covering the carbon buckets and inside carbon.
I've been in the US for the past 13 years, but I'm from San Sebastian and lived mostly in Barcelona

I'm sure for that price you are getting the royal treatment. The biggest expense in ppf is labor, and in Spain labor is cheap

For the price of full PPF, you can buy a plotter and a 20ft x 72in roll of material and do it yourself.

I would put serious cash money down that 99 people out of 100 that did just what you suggested would fail in frustration and still get it done professionally afterwards having wasted all that money on materials. Either that or they would just deal with the work looking like crap. Who wants to do that on $100,000 plus car?

The shop I finally selected and did my Xpel Ultimate Plus and ceramic work a year and a half ago only charged me $5,000 (I have a soft top). My friend just had his new M3 Competition done there (also with Xpel Ultimate Plus) for $5500. The owner has a great reputation and on any given day you can walk in and see a Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, Bentley, etc. in his shop. I am sure that he charges a great deal more money for those expensive cars.
Sorry To revive old thread, but I'm in Miami and was hoping you could share the shop that you had yours PPF'd at? and any other Miami Shops

I just sent you a message with the contact information for the shop I used. I shopped around and very pleased with their work!
