I am open to the idea, but would like to get feedback if the seats or any part of the interior looks different after as well am I going overboard putting PPF on the interior? Thanks

It never occurred to have any of the interior done. If you had painted parts inside to match the exterior, they'd probably look fine and virtually the same as stock. What parts would you put the film on? Other than painted parts, I'd think most interior parts are too small/detailed for film to work well, and the film would add a gloss to parts that weren't glossy before...

The exterior paint is vulnerable to rock chips, birds, sap, and other blemishes every time you take it out of the garage -- there is virtually nothing you can do (realistically) to eliminate that risk. Paint protection film (PPF) --or an old school bra -- is about the only way to protect your paint from that. On the other hand, the inside of the car is not at risk for any of that. The only thing that might chip or scratch the hard surfaced inside the car is you and/or your passengers. But, if that's a real risk for someone, then the carpet and upholstery are probably at even more risk, and they affect the overall visual of the interior even more. So, I dunno, I'm not sure I 'see it' for putting film inside, other than "maybe" trim painted to match the exterior....
