@Montezzy Would love to hear your feedback on how your matte black CT shows dirt/dust and how easy it is to maintain. That's honestly the only concern I have as mine will be my daily driver seeing all sorts of weather.

Really liked the truck in its naked stainless steel, but OMG matte black looks INSANE on the CT. I typically don’t like the matte PPF (especially on exotics) but matte really looks proper on this truck! I used STEK PPF and it looks sooo good! I tinted side windows and windshield. Interesting part is before it was wrapped I had 3 negative responses in 2 days from people on the road (thumbs down, flipped off, honestly cussed out by a little shit head teenager, and also by a pretty nasty guy at delivery). I’ve had it wrapped for a little over a week and ZERO negative responses while driving or even in parking lots. I think blacking out the windows is the main reason, and the truck in black just looks less weird to people? My kids and wife all said “oh it looks way better black!” ?

Looks great, we like the dark colors as they go well with all the dang plastic. ONCE we get ours we are wrapping it in 3M's shade shifting Deep Space Purple...will tie in with our '98 Radar Blue Corvette Indy Pace Car...can't wait. Configured the Beast in March and still waiting....sigh.

The PPF is hydrophobic so water beads off easily. There is a specific type of ceramic coating for PPF that I put on the truck but don’t know which one. Makes cleaning really easy! Nothing sticks to the film

Having STEK matte black PPF being done next week. Were your installers able to wrap the PPF around the corners? Like down the windshield, across the hood, etc - the harder areas can you see the stainless steel edges or are the edges covered with the wrap?
