Mine is being covered tomorrow , full car. The wrap company comes to my dealership and does it. My quote is around $3,400 bucks. I had them wrap my ZR1, and my C7 ZO6, did fantastic job. Body skins is the company in Illinois.

Yeah that sounds like a winner. I really dont have much chipping on the front of my C7, but the intakes behind the dor and rear fender seem to be the target area. So it sounds similar. Did you guys get packages, or do you basically tell them what you want. From sounds of it. You dont want templates, correct?

As another poster said, that rear especially could have been done better. My installer said the front took seven different pieces, but I have the aero package. PPF and ceramic coatings are awesome, but it really comes down to the installer.

Thanks for the input!

I’ve always gone with what my installer recommends. He uses a combination of templates and custom pieces, especially on cars like these so many angles/aero etc.

Either go all the way, or, wish you had. Find the best price, with recommendations . Then go there.

I recognize the shop in your pictures and see your installer is Chad Raskovich, who did my Z06 as well. Chad is amazing - he’s done several cars for me over the years and his attention to detail is incredible. I can’t speak highly enough of him and the work he has done for me. Are you in Twin Cities? Would be fun to meet up some time.

The other big issue is the vertical surface on the outside of the intake is not wrapped around the corner leaving a bit of the front facing surface unprotected. Third, they didn't xpel the inner painted surface of the side intakes. Finally the didn't protect the forward surfaces of the side mirror arm. I'm hoping I can get some feedback before I reach out to them to get these issues remedied. They had already tried to defend the work on the front when I first picked up the car so I'd like to provide some evidence of xpel done differently when I go back. Any feedback would be appreciated



Excuse the dirty surface. Pollen season is in full effect

Horrible work.. I’d make them fix it or at least blast them on Reviews

Yup, that’s Rasky’s place! It’s the 4th car he’s done for me and all have been perfect. Agreed, he is amazing and unfortunately very rare when you find someone like him that takes such pride in their work.

I’m about 45 minutes north of the TC, agreed would be fun this summer to meet up.

this is the lowest price full PPF I’ve ever heard of! Damn good deal, if it’s a quality install.

Yeah, 3400 is unheard of in today's market. I think mine will be ~8k for the full PPF + ceramic coating everything + window tint.
