2021 Ford Tremor
Hi everyone. I traded in my 2018 Raptor for a 2021 Tremor. I did everything that I wished I had done with my Raptor when I first got it.
For starters, the shiny black door pillars will look scratched in no time! It bothered my every day when I looked at my Raptor. So this time, when I scheduled my tint, I got self healing PPF on all 4 pillars. They look beautiful.
Secondly, I got PPF on my headlights and fog lights. I will replace every 4-5 years or as needed to keep them looking brand new.

Where did you buy the PPF?
 
I used the OCD product for my Explorer, was very nice.

I then went further and covered the A, C and D pillars with self healing clear PPF. Surpringly the clear masked the minor scratches.

Since clear pdf is so much cheaper, I will just got hat route with the Tremor as I dont see any benefit from the black.

On a side note, looked at the B Pillars on my Audi, same piano black plastic as Ford, and not a scratch. I wonder what Audi does to their B pillars that Ford doesn't?
 
OCD Product for the pillars worked out pretty well for me — after a couple of tries. The hole cut for the keypad was a bit off, but the guys at OCD worked with me and cut one to fit. Be sure you let them know its a 2021+ F150 Tremor so he sends you out the improved cut for the keypad — otherwise the panel may come up about 1/4” short on the top and too long on the bottom.


The screen protector is awesome at reducing figure prints - I went with matte to reduce glare also.


I need to think about the headlights.
 
I also did the headlights and fog lights. I checked out the OCD website and they only sell a screen protector for the 12" not the budget 8" us 401As are running.

I should have mentioned it on my post although I did get the pillar PPF, I did not buy the screen protector from OCD, for the protector I found something highly rated yet way cheaper on amazon...

You should use a utility knife to cut it to size... not sure if it's cost effective, but if the price is right, don't hesitate to give it a shot.
