Default Zaino, Chromes & 3M Protector on Mil Yellow - Dial up Slow

In the front end shots the 3M clear protector is on the bumber and NOT on the hood so you can decide for your self if it is too visable. 3M protector is also on the parking and Headlamp lenses.

Really looks good. Maybe it's just my eyes, but the only place I could tell the difference was at the top of the second pic. The hood, at the top of the pic, seemed to have slightly less reflection of light. Otherwise, I couldn't tell the difference.

I get a lot of comments about the plate, more than any other plate I've had, it's been a fun one!

What's your opinion of the "cleartastic". I was decided on the xpel 3M stuff, but it seems the cleartastic looks pretty good in your pics. Do you have to be careful when washing the car? Do you take it off when waxing?

Opps, you're right I don't have cleartastic, it's the 3M product.... Got so used to the generic name that I just called it that. I LOVE the product. You can't hardly tell its there, and I can see where it has saved the paint and lenses in a couple of areas.

It does look good. Does this stuff get cloudy or milky over time? Did you install it or was it done professionally?

Looks good and the color is great on a C6. That's why I'm keeping my Forum name because some day I will have another yellow.

I was concerned about how this would look, but after seeing those pictures it's pretty hard to even notice it's there. As soon as I can find a trustworthy installer in SoCal I need to get me some of that! Looks awesome

I had it done professionally, and it took about 5 hours and $600. Front and behind each wheel are the areas that were done. They promise it won't get cloudy and if it gets chipped, just peal off and replace.
