STEK PPF Packages & Pricing In Howard City - ACT Customs
Every vehicle is different. Every driver has different priorities. Our STEK PPF packages are built around that reality, so whether you want targeted coverage on your highest-risk panels or complete paint protection from bumper to bumper, there is a package that fits.
All packages use genuine STEK film, installed by ACT Customs' certified team in Howard City. All installations are backed by STEK's limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty.
Understanding PPF Coverage Levels
Before choosing a package, it helps to understand what the coverage tiers mean in practice.
- Partial Front - Front bumper, partial hood, and mirrors. The highest-impact zones for highway rock chips. Best entry point for budget-conscious drivers.
- Full Front End - Full hood, bumper, fenders, mirrors, and headlights. Significantly reduces the risk of front-end rock chips. Our recommendation for most daily drivers.
- Full Vehicle - Every exterior panel. The right choice for luxury cars, show builds, and long-term paint preservation.
- Custom - Any combination scoped to your vehicle and budget.

DYNO Series Vs. FORCESHIELD Series: Which Film Is Right For Your Package?
| Features | DYNO Series | FORCESHIELD Series |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Premium | Entry-level |

| Finish options | Gloss, matte, satin, fashion | Gloss only |

What Affects Your Final Price
Several factors influence the final cost of your installation:
- Vehicle Size And Panel Count: A full-size truck has significantly more surface area than a compact sedan. Pricing scales with coverage area.
- Panel Complexity: Deeply curved panels and aggressive body lines require more time and precision. Vehicles with complex styling typically require more labor.
- Film Series: DYNO Series commands a premium over FORCESHIELD due to its advanced top coat technology. Over time, the performance difference becomes more noticeable.
- Surface Condition: Vehicles that need paint correction before installation will incur additional prep costs. We assess this during consultation and flag it before any work begins.

FAQs About STEK PPF
Is the STEK warranty included in every package?
Yes. All ACT Customs STEK PPF installations are backed by the STEK limited lifetime manufacturer warranty, regardless of which package or film series you choose.
Can I add more coverage to a partial package later?
In most cases, yes - though new sections will be separate installations rather than seamless extensions of the original film. We recommend choosing your long-term coverage level from the outset.
Can I choose a matte or satin finish?
Yes. Matte, satin, and fashion finish options are available through the STEK DYNO Series on any package that includes DYNO as an option.
Do I need to prepare my vehicle before installation?
Bring your vehicle clean if possible. We handle all surface decontamination and prep as part of every installation - you don't need to do anything beyond a basic wash.
Can PPF be installed on a wrapped vehicle?
Yes, in certain cases. PPF can be applied over vinyl wraps under the right conditions. Contact us with your vehicle's details, and we'll assess compatibility.
How do I know which package is right for my vehicle?
Tell us how you use your vehicle, and we'll give you an honest recommendation. Most highway commuters in Michigan are well-served by a full front-end package. Luxury and exotic vehicle owners typically benefit most from full vehicle coverage.
