    I looking into doing a full body PPF on my 296 GTS. Most installers are telling me I need to have a seam from base of mirror up to top of door? One said they can cut a hole the size of base of mirror and then heat up film with steam and stretch over the mirror but said the film may show stretch or glue marks? Another said they could remove door panels and mirrors to do a seamless job, but having a PPF installer disassemble my doors and mirrors is a bit cringe worthy? What is everyone else’s experiences ?

    I have also seen guys stretch the ppf over the mirror with a hole. Disassembly of the door is another option. Honestly, even a small seam done properly will "disappear" after you use her. Unless you are OCD like me...

    My GTS had the PPF already on it and it has the seam on above the mirror. Its not really noticeable unless your surveying the car. My car is white so I'm concerned dirt my show on the edges.
