**Why This Package Matters for Your Thar.e:**
**The Modular Design Reality:** The Thar.e concept features swappable headlights, taillights, identical fenders on all four corners, and matching front and rear bumpers . This modular design is innovative, but each component needs individual protection. A scratched fender can be swapped, but prevention is better than replacement.
**The Off-Road Reality:** The Thar.e is built for trails . Mud, stones, brush, and debris will challenge the paint finish daily. PPF provides the physical shield that ceramic coating alone cannot offer.
**The EV Reality:** As an electric vehicle, preserving battery range is important. Ceramic coating's heat rejection helps reduce AC load, potentially preserving range. All our installations are EV-safe with no interference with high-voltage components.
**The ADAS Reality:** The Thar.e is expected to feature a 360-degree camera and other driver assistance systems . Tinting the front windshield WILL blind these cameras, affecting your safety systems.

**Why This Package Matters for Your Thar.e:**
**The Modular Design Reality:** The Thar.e concept features swappable headlights, taillights, identical fenders on all four corners, and matching front and rear bumpers . This modular design is innovative, but each component needs individual protection. A scratched fender can be swapped, but prevention is better than replacement.
**The Off-Road Reality:** The Thar.e is built for trails . Mud, stones, brush, and debris will challenge the paint finish daily. PPF provides the physical shield that ceramic coating alone cannot offer.
**The EV Reality:** As an electric vehicle, preserving battery range is important. Ceramic coating's heat rejection helps reduce AC load, potentially preserving range. All our installations are EV-safe with no interference with high-voltage components.
**The ADAS Reality:** The Thar.e is expected to feature a 360-degree camera and other driver assistance systems . Tinting the front windshield WILL blind these cameras, affecting your safety systems.
**Cost Context for Reference:**
| Service | Estimated Price Range |
|:---|:---|
| Premium Ceramic Coating | ₹25, 000 – ₹40, 000 |
| Trail PPF (Fenders + Bumper + Edges) | ₹35, 000 – ₹55, 000 |
| 'Off-Road' Combo | ₹55, 000 – ₹85, 000 |
