I did front bumper headlights and mirrors. Absolutely the same as rest of the RX. Impossible to see any difference. This might have to do with product and installer.

I don't think that PPF will stay on a vehicle that has been Ceramic Coated, the PPF goes on first, then the Ceramic Coating follows.

Colour is identical on mine. Maybe, in the shade, just slightly less sparkly. But maybe that is because I know it is there.
