488 Factory fitted protection film

Don’t do it. Had it on my FF. Was too thick and came lose after a short period of time. On top of it, it’s by far more expensive than a custom fitted protection film.

The bigger issue to me would be the quality of the underlying paint. On my 3 Fcars I had to have the paint refinished prior to applying the film.

 

Don’t do it. As noted above every Ferrari I have ordered has required paint correction.

 

Same advice.
The 'factory' protection has to be applied at the dealership before the customer delivery. Get a proper protection by a professional wrapping company.

 

Exactly this ^^^^^.

 

Another vote against the factory film, not saying the film itself is an issue, but agreeing with others that more likely than not the paint will need some correction prior to installing film. I'll also add that I personally prefer 60+ days of paint curing before adding film. I know it's dry when it leaves the factory, and has the transport time as well, but experts in paint indicate minimum wait time of 60 days before doing anything to the paint, including film, so I judge that date from the date I receive the final pic from the factory. Just me.

I’ve the original ones and they are ok. Under the from spoiler they are starting to detach but that’s probably due to some touches with the ground when I forget to use lifters.
An aftermarket one could be better and for sure cheaper.

 

Don’t do factory film. Get aftermarket. It’s not like Ferrari isn’t applying an aftermarket film anyways. They just buy cheap film from a supplier and apply it on at the factory for an excessive price.

The only people who will not want to buy a car because it has PPF are the concours competition guys that never drive their cars.

Even then, PPF protects against swirls that you’ll get when cleaning the dust off of the car.
