Beautiful!
The day my C7 arrived, I had XPEL installed on my C7 at the Headquarters in San Antonio...
My wife was so impressed we had them XPEL her Acura TLX...
It definitely saved both vehicles from numerous rock chips over more than 6 years of driving.

Will do the same on our upcoming C8...

I had Xpel installed at MacMulkin by Automotive Elegance before we flew to NH and drove her home to South Florida. They did a great job!

Did they edge wrap the hood and panels or does the film stop at the ends?

Yes and no. Yes on the hood but no on the panels. But overall they did a very good job. I have only found two very small air bubbles above the front splitter.

As far as cost goes, it can vary widely based upon your region, amount of coverage desired and some other options available with a PPF installation (ceramic coating, level of paint correction and such).

Some general C8-related protection information we put together when it was first released: https://www.esotericdetail.com/c8-corvette-detailing/

Some general PPF Info regarding overall objectives, various packages and such: https://www.esotericdetail.com/detai...ilm-clear-bra/

Select a good installer and the project will be both informative and entertaining in addition to providing some great protection for your car!

We offer free quotes on every service: PPF, tint, ceramic coating, paint correction.

You can call the installation shop if you don't want to send an email. We work with Corvettes frequently so getting a precise estimate should be quick and easy.
Let me know if you need help finding an XPEL installation center near you.
