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.

Here in Cedar Park, we see just how tough the Texas environment can be on a car’s paint. Between the strong UV rays, high summer temperatures, layers of pollen in spring, and the occasional hailstorm, keeping a vehicle’s exterior in top shape is no small task. Even a short drive on TX-183 or Whitestone Boulevard can leave small rock chips or dust marks that dull the finish over time. That’s why many local drivers look for reliable ways to protect their vehicles beyond regular washing and waxing. Two of the most effective solutions are paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coating . Both deliver outstanding results, but each one serves a different purpose. At Blue Ocean Auto Spa, our goal is to help Cedar Park drivers understand these options so they can choose the protection that best matches their lifestyle, driving habits, and budget. Understanding Paint Protection Film (PPF) Paint protection film is a transparent, flexible urethane layer applied directly over the painted surfaces of a vehicle. It acts as a physical barrier against rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, and even light scratches that are common on Texas highways. What makes PPF so effective is its ability to absorb impacts, keeping the original paint untouched underneath. This product is especially valuable for daily drivers who spend time on roads like TX-29 or traveling to nearby Austin, where gravel and loose debris are often unavoidable. A professional PPF installation ensures every curve, edge, and contour of the vehicle is precisely covered. At Blue Ocean Auto Spa, we take pride in using premium materials and advanced techniques that deliver long-lasting clarity and self-healing properties. When installed correctly, paint protection film can last years while maintaining the vehicle’s original shine and value.  Understanding Ceramic Coating
