Local Tesla project · Festus commuter
Built for the drive from Festus to I-270.
This red Tesla Model 3 travels I-55 to I-270 every day. At our Arnold shop, we combined Full Front + Track Pack PPF, full ceramic window tint and full ceramic coating to protect the areas that take the most highway exposure.
Rock chips and road debris
PPF covers the full hood, front fenders, full bumper, headlights, A-pillars, rocker panels, door lowers and rear splash areas. It helps defend these high-impact areas against rock chips and flying debris.
Heat, privacy and easier care
Ceramic tint rejects heat and adds privacy. Ceramic coating creates a sacrificial layer over the paint and clear coat, helping protect the finish from environmental contamination, keep the car cleaner for longer and make washing easier. The slick coated surface also helps bug residue, tar and road paint release more easily during proper cleaning.
The coating helps shield the finish from acid rain, bird droppings, tree sap and road fallout. Prompt, proper cleanup helps preserve that protection.

Look closer. The film should blend in.
This 31-second silent video shows the Model 3’s finished coverage and edges. Look for careful alignment and a nearly invisible finish, with edges wrapped wherever possible.
We stand behind our PPF film and installations with a lifetime warranty for as long as the original owner owns the vehicle. Ask us for the written terms when planning your project.

What is the difference between Tesla Full Front and Track Pack PPF?
Full Front covers the full hood, front fenders, front bumper, headlights and mirror caps. Track Pack adds agreed high-impact areas beyond the front end. We confirm the exact panels and coverage boundaries for your Tesla before installation.
Can I combine Tesla PPF, ceramic tint and coating?
Yes. PPF provides a physical barrier on selected panels, ceramic tint helps with heat rejection and privacy, and ceramic coating creates a sacrificial layer that supports protection and easier cleaning. We confirm each service’s scope in your quote.
Can you tint my Tesla’s windshield, roof and rear glass?
We review your Tesla’s year, model and glass construction before recommending film. Tell us exactly which windows you want covered so we can confirm compatibility, film, shade and placement.
Why should I compare Tesla PPF installation details as well as price?
Look closely at alignment, panel edges, contamination and visible work marks. We prepare the surface, align the film carefully and wrap edges wherever possible, then allow time for drying, heat-sealing and inspection.
Is Tesla PPF backed by a lifetime warranty?
We stand behind our PPF film and installations with a lifetime warranty for as long as the original owner owns the vehicle. Ask us for the written terms. Ceramic coating warranty periods depend on the selected coating package.
How much does protection cost for my Tesla?
