This Ford Shelby GT500 came through our Los Angeles studio as a utility platform build — truck and SUV bodies see harsher use than a sport sedan, so the priority is durable coverage at the impact zones. Single-service builds like this one keep the install schedule tight and let the owner add the next layer later if the use case changes.
This Ford Shelby GT500 came in for full-body clear Paint Protection Film — the factory paint stays visible, every high-impact panel gets an invisible layer of self-healing film on top. With 700+ horsepower, this car sees track days, so rock-chip protection was non-negotiable.
The Shelby's front splitter and side skirts take the most abuse; we ran extended PPF coverage there and wrapped the edges under the bumper so film lifts stay out of the airstream. Ceramic coating on top of clear PPF makes maintenance easy — see our ceramic coating vs PPF explainer.

Clear paint protection film is the cleanest way to keep a factory finish exactly as delivered. No colour shift, no orange-peel, just a sacrificial layer between the rocks of LA freeways and the paint that came from the factory. Self-healing topcoat closes shallow swirl marks under heat — sun-warmed pavement, a hot wash, even a careful heat-gun pass at home.
Los Angeles is rough on paint in a specific way: the 405, the 101, and the 10 throw a steady stream of small debris at every windshield and front clip during commute hours. PPF is engineered for that exact threat profile, which is why almost every vehicle that leaves a leasing showroom in this city ends up under one.
