Fair point. As long as you have a quality installer with experience doing C8s I think you would be good to go.
100% agree....I would never get PPF if panels had to be removed....Nothing fits the same after it's been removed and re-installed.You have to look really hard to see any edges of the PPF so either method works. I'd prefer no panels are removed.
My mistake in my description and use of the wording “panels being removed”. I was more referring to interior trim etc to wrap around doors and sills etc. I agree you would not be wanting to pop off exterior panels especially for something like PPF application. Appreciate the clarification.100% agree....I would never get PPF if panels had to be removed....Nothing fits the same after it's been removed and re-installed.
I am not sure how to edit this, or if it can be edited, but wanted to update this given the follow-up comments. I was not intending to suggest the removal of exterior panels to put on PPF was a good idea. Rather, wrapping inside doors and under interior trim edges etc. As I reread this, I see my error. Apologies.The C8 is a challenging car to PPF. Lots of sharp angles and tight corners. Some installers use the pre cut kits that run up to the edges and some do full wrap around which require a lot more prep and work (removing panels etc) but shows no seams. Not all PPF jobs are created equal so you do see a wide range of prices. Of course, as long as you are getting a job you are happy with for the cost then all good.
No worries! Most of the people on here can read.I am not sure how to edit this, or if it can be edited, but wanted to update this given the follow-up comments.

Speak for yourself...No worries! Most of the people on here can read.
I wasn't thinking exterior panels, Any Garnish made doesn't fit the same as the 1st time install....Yes they can be removed easily and re-installed, but the clips that hold them in get stressed easily, so if I had a choice, I would avoid removing any garnishes on my car....IMO.....(Opinion based on 30 yrs of working in an Auto Mfg plant)My mistake in my description and use of the wording “panels being removed”.
