Love them or hate them, the 2024 Cybertrucks are polarizing cars. At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we love ALL cars, especially when we get to install color change PPF on them! We have 120 different colors to choose from, and this Killeen area client picked Black Phantom Red from UPPF / Terminax with a 10 year warranty. We have Interstellar Chrome Blue on our minivan, Diamond Black on our loaner car, and have installed the Satin Black on a previous Tesla Cybertruck, and all are holding up great! Despite the abuse that my personal Kia Carnival takes as well as our Kia Forte loaner car, the film maintains a great level of hydrophobics - making the film (and cars) super easy to detail. Even the recent dust storms we had in the Copperas Cove - Killeen - Temple area came off fairly easily with just soap and water (and no scrubbing).
When you own an iconic muscle car like the 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost, keeping it protected from rock chips, road debris, and Texas' harsh sun is crucial. This stunning blue Mustang came into Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings for a full front-end paint protection film (PPF) installation and ceramic window tinting.
Since this client drives between Copperas Cove and Temple, TX, they wanted premium protection for their Mustang to prevent highway damage while also enhancing heat rejection and privacy with ceramic tint.
Here’s what we installed on this 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost:
✔ Autobahn Incognito PPF on the bumper and hood – Shields against rock chips, road debris, and scratches.
✔ Autobahn Ceramic Window Tint on the side windows and rear glass – Blocks UV rays, heat, and glare for a cooler ride.

If your vehicle has hail damage in Killeen, TX, you might be wondering:
🚗 “Does my insurance company get to decide where I take my car for repairs?”
🚗 “Am I required to use the facility where I got my initial estimate?”
The short answer: NO! Texas law protects your right to choose where your vehicle gets repaired.
Many insurance companies try to steer customers toward their "preferred" repair shops, but you are NOT required to use their recommended facility. Let’s break down how insurance companies attempt to direct repairs—and why you should be aware of your legal rights as a consumer in Killeen, TX.
When you invest in a high-end luxury SUV like the 2025 BMW X7, protecting its pristine paint and interior from Texas’ harsh climate is a must.

This client has already trusted us with three other vehicles for ceramic window tint, so when they purchased this fully loaded 2025 BMW X7, they knew exactly where to go for top-tier paint protection in Killeen, TX.
Here’s what we installed on their BMW X7:
✔ PPF on the hood, fenders, front bumper, and mirrors – Prevents rock chips, road debris damage, and scratches.

If you’re in Killeen, TX, Harker Heights, or Copperas Cove, you know that hailstorms can be unpredictable and destructive. Every year, we get customers asking:
🚘 "How can I protect my car from hail damage?"
The short answer: A garage or covered structure is the only real way to stop hail damage. Even then, depending on the size and wind speed of the storm, you may still experience some level of damage.
Many people ask us if paint protection film (PPF) can stop hail, or if those inflatable car protectors you see on social media actually work. Let’s dive into the real answers about hail damage prevention.
Short answer? Probably not.
Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, Harker Heights, and Copperas Cove can get very expensive—very fast. Many people assume that fixing hail damage is a simple, low-cost process until they see the final repair bill.
We often have customers who purchase a car with existing hail damage, thinking they’ll fix it later. But once they realize how labor-intensive and costly hail repair actually is, they start to rethink their decision.
If you’re considering paying out of pocket for hail repair, let’s break down why it’s almost never a good idea and what alternatives are available.
Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, can be a frustrating process, especially when dealing with insurance claims and supplements. One of the longest parts of getting your vehicle repaired after a hailstorm is waiting for the insurance supplement approval—something many vehicle owners don’t realize upfront.
If your car was caught in one of the recent hailstorms in Killeen, Copperas Cove, or Harker Heights, chances are your insurance company’s initial estimate was far too low. In fact, we can confidently say that 99.99% of all hail damage insurance estimates are underwritten or undervalued when first reported.
So why does this happen, and how does the supplement process work? Let’s break it down.
There are cool trucks, and then there are legendary trucks—and this 2025 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is one of the coolest we’ve had in the shop! This isn’t just any F-150; it’s a beastly, high-performance truck built for speed, style, and exclusivity.
Given its limited production and custom modifications, this Shelby Super Snake required a fully custom paint protection film (PPF) installation. Since this isn’t an official Ford production model, pre-cut templates for PPF simply don’t exist—meaning this was an extensive custom job requiring precision and expertise.
Here’s what we installed on this 2025 F-150 Shelby Super Snake:
✔ Custom-Cut PPF on the hood, fenders, mirrors, and front bumper.
✔ Five-year ceramic coating on the paint, plastics, wheels, and glass.
✔ Hand-cut precision work to accommodate the unique Shelby modifications.

At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we specialize in paintless dent repair (PDR) to restore vehicles damaged by hail storms, door dings, and minor dents, all while preserving the original factory paint.
However, not all dents can be repaired using PDR. Some vehicles in Killeen, TX, Copperas Cove, and Temple sustain damage that requires conventional body shop work, whether due to the severity of the dent, stretched metal, cracked paint, or material limitations.
If your car was hit by hail in Killeen, TX, or received a door ding in a Fort Cavazos parking lot, here’s everything you need to know about when PDR won’t be the best option for your repairs—and why.
Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings began in 2021 with the goal of providing central Texas with premium vehicle detailing. Every service ensures long-lasting paint enhancement and renewed vehicle value. I believe in open communication and creating a lasting relationship with my clients by providing high-quality services that are tailor-made for your unique vehicle. Through the art of applying professional-grade ceramic coatings, a self-healing clear bra, performing paint correction, and my full-vehicle detailing services, every customer will receive top-tier protection with a showroom-worthy finish.
