Default Front Protection

I may be close to buying a new C7. I wanted to get thoughts on the clear coverings for the front and mirrors I have seen on some cars. Are they worth the expence, do they yellow of come loose over time, any other problems with them, and will you put them on your next car after you put them on your Vette? Thanks for your help.

A quality paint protective film will last for years and will not yellow. I have 3M film on a car that is just now 7 yrs old, zero issues, nothing peeling at the edges. I will say that I has been garaged for almost all the time but it has been exposed to strong sun for all of that time.

I have XPEL Ultimate on my C7. It's been great and I agree with Birby, unless you've had significant prior experience or you're into self abuse, let a skilled installer do the job for you. Don
