I plan to have XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS applied to my C8 so I want to know what others have paid or what I should expect to pay for the following coverage.

Hood, Front Fascia, Fenders, Headlights, Mirrors, Door Sills, Door Edges and Rockers.

The major cost is in the hours of prep required/done so the price will vary greatly and not really comparable. In my case there were very few flaws in my 2021 so did not require a lot of paint correction so was about $5000 for full coverage.

What you are wanting done would of been 2k where I had my C8 done, but I did entire HTC, also ceramic coated entire car and ceramic window tint to include the windshield.

Default $4600

I got all your listed items plus full doors and full rear quarter panels for $4600 . ( Im a repeat customer of this shop so they give me a deal )

The only areas not covered in XPEL on my C8 Z51 are the roof , rear hatch , and rear end . I'll probably do that in the fall for 100% coverage . Why not ?

You'll get a general idea here but depending on where you live, the time the shop has to spend on your paint, and whether or not you've done business with the shop before will determine what you will pay.

I'm a repeat customer of the shop I use plus the owner tells me that I can multiply every referral I've sent him times two or three because my referrals send people to him as well. I had my front clip, hood, side mirrors, boomerang, and another place on the car which escapes me now - the shop owner told me he wanted to do it because he saw it as a problem area - covered with Xpel plus had the entire car including glass, wheels, and brake calipers coated with Ceramic Pro for $3,700.

I got a full PPF wrap with XPEL Ultimate Plus, and when the shop I went to said they would wrap the entire car, they meant it. The installers covered every exposed painted surface on the car that could be covered, and also did the headlights. Prep, paint correction, detailing and so forth was included and the total cost was $5,800.

Would you mind passing along the name of the shop you used? PM is fine if you don't care to drop it here.

For what you want done typical price would be about $1900-2300 including tax. The prices others are quoting is for full-car protection.

a-pillars and windshield header for $1,960. 10 year warranty.

I used the Vault, and mine was the 60th C8 they had done. Justin is the manager 210-330-9870. Very happy with what they did.



Inside the Vault. They do one vehicle at a time.

Awesome, thanks! The Vault is at the top of my list at the moment. Good to hear more positive feedback on 'em.

So far I am discovered the land of endless summers is a lot more expensive than I paid in the Pacific Northwest on my C7 six years ago.

Here is the average pricing I received in SW Florida.
XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS average prices quoted ~$2800
  • Entire front end ($1850)
  • Headlights ($100)
  • A Pillars ($150)
  • Door sills & Stingray sill plates ($200)
  • Door Edges ($40)
  • Full Rockers & lower part of doors ($450)
  • Washed, clay barred, washed again, neutralizer applied
  • All edges tucked around the edges no lines to show
  • Written 10 year warranty from XPEL.
The leading vendor is in Naples Florida who has been in business for 25 years and they only do paint protection and wraps. Unlike many others who make most of their money on detailing not paint protection.

When you contact a PPF installer make sure to ask if they wrap the edges. Some use cut sheets leaving edges exposed.
