How the builder picks a package
It finds the smallest package that includes every panel you ticked. The packages build on each other: Full Front is Partial Front with the hood and fenders taken to their edges; Track Package adds the A-pillars, the front of the roof and the rocker panels; Full Vehicle covers every painted surface. Tick a door or the rear bumper and the answer jumps to Full Vehicle, because no smaller package includes them.
Which panels actually take the hits
Stones come off the road ahead and off your own front tires. The bumper and the leading edge of the hood take most of them, which is why Partial Front covers those first. TranBC says winter abrasive on main highways can be up to 9.5 mm and that going from 80 to 110 km/h "will almost double the impact energy" (TranBC). The rocker panels behind the front wheels catch grit thrown up by your own tires; the Track Package adds them, along with the A-pillars and the front of the roof. The rock chip answer covers what film does and doesn't stop.
Partial or full: the edge you can see
Partial Front stops the film partway up the hood and fenders, which leaves a line you can spot up close on dark or metallic paint. Full Front runs the film to the panel edges and wraps it where the panel allows, so there's no line across the middle. Full Front starts at $1,550, against $850 for Partial Front. The partial versus full front comparison goes through it panel by panel.
When Full Vehicle makes sense
Full Vehicle is for paint you want to keep exactly as it left the factory: a new car you'll keep for years, a special colour, or matte film that turns gloss paint satin all over. It's also the only package that covers the doors against parking-lot dings. The full front versus full body comparison covers the cost and the time in the shop, which is three to five days for a full vehicle.
Getting the price for your car
The prices here are where each package starts, in LLumar Platinum with LLumar's 10-year limited warranty. The final number depends on the car's size, how complex its bumper is and whether the paint needs correcting before film goes on.
