Paint Protection Film w/ Lightning Badging

[Aces_Over_Kings]

Hi gang,

Have any of you either wrapped your new Lightnings in PPF or considered it? I was toying with the idea of a full PPF, maybe even XPEL Stealth for a satin finish, but am worried about the Lightning badging, particularly the lettering on the bedside.

Anyone with more experience have a sense of how that would work (or if it could work). I know that for some emblems they can carefully cut around things (ford ovals, etc), but for other adhesive badging like the lettering, I assumed one would have to get a new aftermarket set to apply afterwards. I doubt this is available yet for the Lightnings.

Thanks in advance!

The lettering should be available through your dealership parts department. It might be backordered fir a while because the Lightning is a new model.

Hmm, yeah, I figured there was probably no way to detach and then reapply. I suspect it'll be a LONG while before there's any Lightning-specific surplus parts.

I'm scheduled for PPF install in 2 weeks, but only doing front, hood, and rocker panels so no labels to deal with...

Same, Im going in Tuesday to have the nose wrapped in Xpel. Are you having them wrap the grille?

Went back and forth on that and decided not too... still deciding if I want to have it painted or not. Not super jazzed about the matt grey look of it.
