Frequently Asked Questions

What does a precut PPF kit include?
Film only. Each kit ships with LLumar paint protection film panels plotted for your specific vehicle and coverage, labeled by position. An installation tool kit is available as an add-on. Installation is not included.
Which package should I choose?
The Front Bumper Kit covers the single most vulnerable panel. The Partial Front PPF Kit adds partial hood, partial fenders and mirror caps. The Full Front PPF Kit is the most popular choice and covers full hood, bumper, full fenders, mirrors and headlights. The Track Pack PPF Kit adds rockers and high-impact side areas, and the Full Body PPF Kit covers the applicable painted exterior.
Why does the price change by vehicle?
Larger vehicles use significantly more film. Prices shown are starting prices; the exact price appears once you select year, make, model and trim, based on pattern size, film consumption, number of panels and film type.
Which precut tint kits can I order?
Choose Front Two Windows, Full Car, Sun Strip or Front Windshield. The Full Car kit covers the side and rear glass; coverage varies by vehicle, with rear door and quarter glass included only where applicable and supported. The front windshield is sold separately.
What size is the sun strip?
Choose a 6-inch strip, an 8-inch strip or a strip cut to your vehicle's AS1 line. Confirm local tint laws before selecting a size or shade.
