Matte looks like an excellent choice for El Cap. Beautiful truck. The matte finish seems to highlight its lines and character.

I have Xpel Stealth on my 2021 Model S (Solid Black). Easier to maintain, lots of compliments, hides dust and dirt.
Did you put ceramic over the PPF? Any comments on pros or cons to that and how you thought it through?

I did put ceramic over the Xpel Stealth PPF. It was not an Xpel ceramic product. Xpel now recommends not using anything but their ceramic products. They stand behind the Xpel warranty for the film, but I need to have the installer perform an annual inspection.

If I remember correctly, Xpel offers their Fusion Plus ceramic for use on their PPF.

I'd do more research before putting ceramic on PPF in the future. I think some films have something like it built in.

The ceramic did not appreciably change the appearance of the stealth PPF.

Agreed. I just need to figure out what interior color I want now. I was going for Black Mountain, but Ocean Coast is growing on me. And Forest Edge would be nice....

Damn.
I was from 2018 until RIVIAN BLUE ..... After seeing these pics and another review of an R1S online with El Cap Granite ..... I am now in favor of switching :rock: :cool::champagne::party:

Just stopped by the Austin SC to check out what they had on the lot and this beauty pulled in at the same time…

First pic is full ride height. Second pic is lowest ride height. Third is a closeup of the El Cap paint job. Fourth is front view.

HUGE props to John at the Austin SC. He saw me ogling and spent a random 20 minutes showing me the vehicle. Turns out the ECG/BM/20” Darks is their fleet vehicle. Not bad at all!
