What does full front PPF include at $1,550?
Full front covers five things in LLumar Platinum: the whole hood, both whole front fenders, the whole front bumper, both headlights and both side mirrors. The price starts at $1,550 plus tax, in gloss or matte film.
| Panel | Coverage | Where the film ends |
|---|---|---|
| Hood | Whole panel | At the hood’s own edges, wrapped where the panel allows |
| Front fenders | Whole panel, both sides | At each fender’s own edges |
| Front bumper | Whole panel | Wrapped where the shape allows; a relief cut is sometimes needed |
| Headlights | Both | Included |
| Side mirrors | Both housings | Included |
The figure rises with vehicle size, panel complexity and the state of the paint. A full-size SUV, a bumper with deep vents and tight curves, or paint that needs polishing before film all push it up, and your quote shows which of those applies to your car.
Why choose full front PPF for Highway 1 driving?
Speed is the reason. According to TranBC, the province’s transportation ministry blog, raising speed from 80 to 110 km/h nearly doubles the energy a stone hits with. Full front leaves no bare paint on the back of the hood or fenders for that stone to find.
Daily Highway 1 commuters
On main provincial highways, TranBC says no piece of winter abrasive may be over 9.5 mm across, and it names “windshield chips and paint dings” as the damage those stones cause. In winter, highway contractors put down “salt, salt brines, anti-icing agents and abrasives”. If you drive from Langley to Vancouver or out to Abbotsford every day, your hood and fenders meet that material at highway speed through the winter.
Owners who don’t want a line on the hood
A partial hood piece has to stop somewhere on the open paint. Full front ends every hood and fender piece at the panel’s own edge, so neither panel has a film line running across its middle.
New cars you plan to keep
Film over the whole front keeps the factory paint under it covered from the first winter. If your driving is mostly short town trips and the budget is tight, the partial front PPF package starts $700 lower.
How are the edges finished on full front film?
On the hood and fenders, the film runs to each panel’s own edge and is wrapped around it wherever the panel allows. That’s the difference you can see between full and partial coverage: no edge sits on the open paint of the hood or the fender tops.
The bumper is the one panel where a relief cut is sometimes unavoidable, because of its shape. If yours needs one, you’re shown where before the work starts. LLumar describes its Platinum Gloss film as a high-shine topcoat meant to keep a factory-fresh look.
Full front still leaves these panels bare:
| Panel | Package that covers it |
|---|---|
| Rocker panels, A-pillars, front section of the roof | Track Package ($1,900 and up) |
| Doors, rest of the roof, rear quarters, rear bumper, trunk or tailgate | Full Vehicle ($4,000 and up) |
How long does full front PPF take at the shop?
Plan on one to two days, against usually one day for a partial front. Paint correction, when the car needs it, adds to that.
Inspection and decontamination
The front panels are washed and decontaminated so nothing gets trapped under the film. Swirls, haze or light scratches already in the paint would sit under the film too, which is why they’re dealt with first.
Correction, if the paint needs it
When correction is needed, it happens before film. Paint thickness is measured first. A two-stage correction takes one to two days on its own, so it adds to the visit; the stages are explained on the paint correction page.
Cutting and fitting
Hood, fender, bumper, headlight and mirror pieces come off a software template matched to your exact vehicle. Each one is then laid on its panel and wrapped at the edges where that panel allows.
How do you care for full front film once it’s on?
Wait a week before the first wash. After that, wash by hand or use a touchless wash, never a brush wash. On a full front, the film edges sit at the edges of the hood, fenders and bumper, so keep pressure-washer nozzles away from the panel gaps.
Light marks in the film, such as wash swirls, shrink back with warmth from the engine or the sun, according to LLumar. Coating the film is a separate service that makes washing easier; it doesn’t do what PPF does, as how PPF and ceramic coating differ explains.
Platinum’s warranty runs 10 years and is manufacturer-backed, and the shop lists yellowing, cracking, bubbling and peeling as what it covers. LLumar’s product pages send buyers to the dealer for the fine print, so ask about the terms when you book.
What does it cost to move up from full front to the Track Package?
At starting prices, the Track Package costs $350 more than full front: $1,900 against $1,550, both plus tax. That $350 adds film on the A-pillars, the front section of the roof and the rocker panels below the doors.
| Package | From (plus tax) | Difference from Full Front |
|---|---|---|
| Partial Front | $850 | $700 less |
| Full Front | $1,550 | |
| Track Package | $1,900 | $350 more |
| Full Vehicle | $4,000 | $2,450 more |
If you’re still deciding between the two front packages, partial vs full front PPF weighs the two side by side.
