Film brands named by Chicago shops
Read from each shop's own website. Naming a brand is a claim by the shop, not a confirmation from the manufacturer.
Why paint protection film quotes in Chicago differ
Coverage is most of the spread. "PPF" can mean a partial front kit or the whole car, and the price moves by a factor of five.
| Coverage | Typical range | Median | Published by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partial front | $1,000–$1,600 | $1,195 | 13 shops |
| Full front | $1,850–$2,500 | $2,100 | 18 shops |
| Full body | $5,999–$7,000 | $6,000 | 14 shops |
National figures: no single city has enough shops stating a coverage to band it locally. Ask any Chicago shop which row their quote sits in.
