I'd like to put on my PPF wrap next week, weather permitting, and wanted to see who did you guys follow for the instructions on the installation? Most sellers have their own way of installation, just wanted see which one is more idiot proof then the next.

I ordered @T Sportline DIY PPF kit and they have videos for every single panel. I watched every one at least once and then referred back to them. Is mine perfect, no, but only I know where the secrets are. After 9 months no one has called out any flaw. First time I've done it and will likely switch it out to a different color in a year or so.

Go for it!

I'm here to help, any way needed. We introduced the first DIY kit in early 2024 and have extensive knowledge here. Our kit is very well refined and highly developed. Some folks charge for mistake panel replacement, we include it and the support to find success, one customer at a time. Also, all our DIY instructional videos are posted and free to watch, no gimmicks or purchases required. PM me as needed!

Our DIY wrap is the most extensively developed one on the market. It allows anyone to get professional level results if you just follow the instructions. I show how I do it in just 8hrs (in the winter I'd recommend you do the panel installations on day 1, let it dry overnight and then do the edge folding on day 2)

Just scroll down to see customer reviews with photos :)
We also have a great install video:


And unlike pretty much everything else on the DIY market, ours wraps amazingly well around corners and covers the inside of the quarter panels, the part that shows even with the tailgate closed (near the tail lights) which with other DIY wraps just makes a small edge wrap and you keep seeing the steel, you can see all that here.

I did a wrap myself. It turn out pretty good. Harder than I thought it would be. Made a video with tips that I wish I knew before starting.

There was a question about edges and corners and tailgates - our kits are very highly refined and will offer pro-level coverage. We were the first to market with DIY kits and we've personally film'd more Cybertrucks than anyone else (see our highlight gallery HERE) -- all our experience has been translated into our kits. Fun fact, we use our own kit when we do a pro-install at T Sportline!

FYI on our DIY kits, our inner tailgate areas (backside of rear quarterpanels) are fully wrapped - we don't just 'roll that edge'. Looks great, no exposed stainless in these areas (y)

For newbies - we offer 2 versions of instructional videos:

  • Long format - we literally video'd the entire install, full length.
  • Short format - all the instruction, but not showing me squeegeeing for hours at a time ha ha.
We have two series of videos:
  • Vinyl install
  • PPF install

Customer feedback has been great - never a lack of instruction.

Other T Sportline factoids:
  • We do not charge or require passwords for videos - watch them all before you buy!
  • We do not charge for replacement panels - no extra fees or guarantee fees either

PPF is harder than vinyl wrap due to thickness. I didn't watch any vids when I got my kit for my 2018 Model 3, but the CT is easy compared to that. Everything is flat, curves are subtle.

My tip is to have another person help you to handle the size of the panels, especially the rear quarterpanels!

Because I don't have a garage, I had to pick a no-wind day. Shady area if outside. Watch out for bugs! Good luck!

Hi,

Which brand do you carry would have the darkest Satin Black PPF?
If you want the highest quality Satin Black on the market go with our Stealth Black option:
https://twraps.com/products/cybertruck-ppf-color-wrap

Its color infused 8mil TPU PPF. Doesn't get any better than that. Most (if not all) of what you will find elsewhere is either co-extruded or laminated. It doesn't come anywhere near the depth of color infused.
On top of it you get the best and most DIY friendly proprietary cut pattern and the best support.
Just check the 36 reviews with photos...and wonder why other companies don't encourage customer reviews 🤔

Here is what it looks like:

Hi,

We offer all brands of ppf, so customers can select. TMaxx Satin Black is the most common choice - https://tmaxxusa.com/products/ppf-satin-black



You can see several Cybetrucks in our gallery done in TMaxx satin black here
https://tsportline.com/blogs/custom-tesla-cybertruck-gallery



We dont do a lot of self proclaiming and making claims of best this and that, not sure that helps anyone - obviously everyone claims to be the best 😆 - more importantly, we simply guarantee success for everyone and supply personal coaching and free replacement panels if needed (if you mess up the install) - no extra charges or gimmicks. I’m happy to help you with any questions or any help you need. I developed our diy kit, happy to coach on what’s best for you and your goals. Feel free to pm me! We also have samples of the film if you want to lay a hand and eye on some before installing.
