I just got mine back on Friday from a full Xpel Stealth PPF wrap. My hinges have the PPF on them. If the installer uses a plotter to cut the film per the template, then they should get the pieces for the hinges. Picture below is from Xpel's website showing the plotter layout for the rear tailgate. The lines in the middle and under the handle are where there are splices in the film to make everything fit. You don't see the splices with the spare and handle on.

Your installer should know there is a template available for the plotter to cut everything out.

Looks really nice - did they wrap the door handles in a matte black? Also, how did they do the rear door hinges? - thanks
Do you mind sharing where you got the Ford oval emblem? It doesn't look like a vinyl overlay and appears darker than the smoked chrome one that Ford sells? It looks really nice.

I'm pretty obsessive about things and you can see my build on the "Builds" page.

For all of the "plastic" I use Turtle Wax Graphene Acrylic Trim Restorer (with gloves on) which makes everything a nice deep black. At events, it is the #1 question I get asked on why my roof is such a deep, matte black instead of gray. Plus, when the mirrors get pinstriped, it restores them back.

As for the door hinges, I run the RTS reinforcement because of 37" and they have black hinges. Essence Motorsports don't recommend things with a lot of angles - for instance, they suggested not doing the inside of the back door and one year later, I agree.

Inside and out, I want an understated and highly functional design. Xpel Stealth does both very well.

Essence Motorsports in Laguna Hills. EXCELLENT and extremely well priced. I got it done immediately upon delivery 13 months ago and it saved my bacon on multiple overgrown trails.

These pics are when they did it last year. You can see things one year as I just posted my rig in the Builds section.

Where did you go? I'm in SoCal too and am looking to do a matte PPF on my HPR Wildtrak.
Check out "N-Tech" in Riverside, he did my Lexus and was very meticulous. I'm waiting for an appointment to get my Bronco done. Just the PPF (Xpel Ultimate) was quoted about $3,100 for the hood, Front fenders and all four doors. Check out his website for his gallery of photos. If he is Japanese, you have the right place.

Just ordered an Azure Grey Wildtrak. Love a recommendation on Ford PPF from the factory or aftermarket PPF. Thanks
