For all the pillar scratches issues, there is a guy on one of my facebook groups that sells precut PPF for the pillars. No polishing needed as the adhesive fills in the scratches and makes them look new and perfect for years.
Which group? I'm probably on it but don't check them like I do this site. The things people come up with in those groups. All they have to do is search these very forums and their questions would be answered 🙂
I added fresh Raptor wheels and tires I got on Monday for $1200. Literally had no miles on them. They came off immediately after the shop got the Raptors off of the delivery truck from Ford. They look much better than the crap 300A wheels I had on there before. I also added 3" Auto Spring rear blocks to compliment the 2.5" level I've had in the front for some time, raising the rear end by about 2". The alignment is off a smidge now from adding the blocks, but I haven't had it aligned in a year or so, so I'd like to make sure all's good with the new kicks.
Damn the rain... I just washed the thing yesterday.
Who did you get the raptor wheels and tires through? The dealership? Seems like a sweet deal!
Temporarily removed windshield sun visor strip/brow in order to
Add full windshield 3M Crystalline 70%. 3M advertises 50% total solar energy rejected (TSER), 99% UV and 97% infrared (though they kinda cheat and their infrared 97% number is the narrow band of 900-1,000 nanometer, which is sure to result in a higher number since that's where they picked lol, but whatever, it's very cool) https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/...s-brochure.pdf
When I and the installer are both finally available again around August 1st I'm going to get a brow added back, had a CTX 15% before will probably do the same and have it be a tad darker overlaying with the 70. I really like the brow, there's just so much unnecessary and bothersome light that comes through the top portion of the windshield, and the visors both fail to block a lot of it due to size/shape restrictions but also completely block the view in hilly areas and of stoplights etc...brows are awesome...full windshield and brow do different things and complement one another really well.
Took this in the parking lot:
Windshield: 3M Crystalline 70%
Side window, rolled down part way: Llumar CTX 25%
Same Crystalline 70% windshield, CTX 25% front, CTX 50% over factory privacy glass rear. I haven't tinted the back-back window with slider yet, will do that when brow goes on
Looking to get mine done soon... who's your installer?

Looks great!
I went with XPEL XR+ 70% over all factory tint including dual moonroof. I was going to do the full windshield like you, but was worried about rainbow effect, especially with polarized sunglasses. So I passed on the full windshield and did the top strip. I was going to use 20% for the strip, but my installer said to go with 5%. Glad I did, works great!
