I am not sure what is funny?
I am sorry you have OCD and that it makes you want to spend 5k on PPF. Out of curiosity are there other examples of higher costs in your life because of your OCD?

"A new install of PPF can cost anywhere from
$600 to $8,000 or more"
That websitee specifically says an average full car PPF is $5000 USD. You claim $2900 USD. $2,100 delta is too large for me to believe that number is accurate.

This thread right below this one, 5k installed full.
I can't find a single website that says they can do a full car in a quality PPF for your cost of $2,900 USD. I am sure there are deals and maybe you specifically can get it for that price, the average person is paying 5k+. A car detail in my town is $180 for exterior 'full' detail. So I can get ~30 full exterior details for the price of PPF. I'll take the 30 details. You could have you car detailed 3 times a year for 10 years. 4 times a year or once a quarter for 7.5 years. A whopping 6 full exterior details one every other month for 5 years for the cost of PPF full coverage.

Right...my example was a scratch. Scratches and rubs are MUCH more common than a full body panel replacement. You can often fix a body panel vs full replacement as well so it sounds like they wouldn't pay out in that situation either.
Also, you are talking about your insurance company. Very often you/your insurance is dealing with the insurance company of the person who damaged your car. Not all companies pay out the same or have the same policies.
So according to when your insurance company will not replace your PPF in the most commonly possible damage situation to a car. Your insurance company will not pay out to remove and then replace your PPF. You will have to foot the bill.
I don't hate PPF. I just don't see it's value. Throw 5k into performance. Throw 5k into the market. Anything before paying 5k to wrap your car in plastic. Not to mention the edges of PPF can get dirt in them and the partial 'bra' wraps look like crap. w/ lines across hoods etc. I have seen bad PFF jobs and they look horrible, same with when cheap PPF is used. Dealer applied PPF has taken paint off of brand new cars.
PPF is not for me. If you like it, great!
