Transforming a 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid with XPEL Stealth PPF in Cedar Park

A black and white drawing of three lines on a white background.

At Blue Ocean Auto Spa of Cedar Park, we take pride in elevating every vehicle that comes through our doors—and this recent full-body Paint Protection Film (PPF) install on a 2026 Porsche 911 (992.2) Carrera GTS T-Hybrid was no exception. This stunning performance machine arrived finished in Ice Grey Metallic, a bold and elegant color that perfectly complements the satin matte finish of XPEL Stealth PPF.

This transformation wasn’t just about protection—it was about precision, aesthetics, and craftsmanship. From disassembly to final touches, we made sure every panel and edge was treated with the highest level of care and attention to detail.



Why XPEL Stealth PPF?

XPEL Stealth Paint Protection Film is one of the most advanced matte PPF products on the market. Designed specifically to preserve and transform factory paint finishes, XPEL Stealth offers:

  • A sleek satin/matte appearance that subtly changes a glossy paint like Ice Grey Metallic into a more aggressive, modern finish
  • Self-healing technology that eliminates light scratches and swirl marks with heat
  • Industry-leading chemical resistance and protection from road debris, bug acids, and bird droppings
  • 10-year warranty backed by XPEL for long-term peace of mind



The Process: More Than Just PPF Installation

Installing full-body PPF—especially on a high-performance car like the 2026 911 Carrera GTS—requires precision and planning. Here’s a look at what made this install stand out:

1. Strategic Disassembly for Hidden Edges

To achieve that OEM-level, “no-film” look, our team carefully removed and disassembled several components of the Porsche:

  • Door moldings
  • Side mirrors
  • Tail lights
  • Active aero rear wing

This allowed us to tuck the film seamlessly behind body panels, eliminating visible edges and preventing future lifting or dirt build-up.

2. Application of XPEL Stealth PPF

Every surface was meticulously prepped, cleaned, and decontaminated before installation. Applying PPF to a complex body like the 911's—especially with its aggressive curves and aero features—requires extensive experience. Our trained installers ensured a flawless, bubble-free application that follows the natural body lines without distortion.

3. Carbon Fiber PPF on the Aero Wing

To enhance the sporty aesthetic, we applied carbon-look PPF to the active rear wing. This not only added a custom touch but also tied in beautifully with the 911’s high-performance DNA.

4. Tinted Signal Lights for Extra Flair

For added stealth and style, we applied a subtle tint to the signal and marker lights, giving the vehicle a more aggressive, cohesive look without compromising functionality.

2026 Tesla Model X Protected with Paint Protection Film, Ceramic Window Tint, and Ceramic Coating in Leander, TX

By Jon Barnes • July 5, 2026
A new vehicle has a way of making every drive feel intentional, especially when it's something as distinctive as a 2026 Tesla Model X. With its sweeping roofline, expansive glass, and crisp white finish set against deep black trim and wheels, this particular Model X arrived with one goal in mind: preserve that new-car experience for as long as possible.  The owner had recently taken delivery and already understood the realities of daily driving in Travisso, one of Leander's rapidly growing communities. New construction brings progress, but it also brings an endless stream of gravel trucks, loose debris, and freshly paved roads that can be unforgiving to automotive paint. Rather than wait for the first chips and imperfections to appear, they chose to protect the vehicle from day one.
