427 Convertible vs Z06 for paint protection film
Guys, getting my car wrapped in some ppf. I have a 2013 427 convertible. Most installers have templates to go off of. However, they don’t find the 427. Is it basically the same as the Z06? As far as hood, front fenders, etc. The 427 hood says it was intro’d on a 2011 Carbon. Was it all the same by 2013? Any insight. Thanks

The hood is unique, not a "typical" Z06 hood, it is "raised" and was the same one introduced on the 2011 Carbon Edition.
