Yes. My 2014 is yellow and I xpelled the front clip, rockers, door handle openings and behind the rear tires. I love not having a bra on the front of the car.

I would say a lot of people don't.

Clear bra's maybe came into vogue 10 years ago, and I think it's a relatively new thing for a lot of people.

I think having a whole car wrapped like I do is quite rare.

Cost is the main reason, and it really being only justifiable if you like driving your car a lot (I do) and you know that the roads around you are garbage (for me they are). So it's a type of insurance.

I also have my car OptiCoated. Which helps significantly with edge dirt buildup.

All of my future cars, which I decide to buy not lease (so keeping 3+ years), I will XPEL and Opticoat. My experience with the C7 has been excellent in that regard.

I can see pro's and con's with white. It's definitely more noticeable, especially up close, than most other colors.

Not all corvette owners are geezers.

Didn't do it on our '15 and, after several road trips and 10k miles, had a few chips on the bumper and a mirror. Touched them up, but I could still see them (DSOM - tough color to touch up). Our GS is in the shop yesterday/today having xpel ultimate put on the front bumper, headlights, splitter and skirts. $800. We'll see...............

The only reason to wrap the C7 is if you care about having a Vette that doesn't look like it went thru a sand-blaster after a couple of thousand miles.

Initially I was not going to bother with the paint protection film on my C7 GS as I have over 100k miles on my C6 coupe and never really had any major issues with paint chips. Yes, there are a few, but I always just considered them battle scars LOL

On my C7 GS I added the ACS front guards and sideskirts to protect from stones thrown up by the front wheels and I figured I was good.

After last years driving season was done (about 5k miles), I was cleaning up my car over the winter, as I always do, and noticed a few decent chips on the front bumper, the sideskirts and the lower rear fender (brake duct area) On top of that I noticed I had bumped into my sideskirts quite a few times already getting in and out of the car...

So I caved in, and reluctantly added some of the film, but instead of going crazy I just went with what I thought was the absolute minimum (and reasonable in cost)...

I did the skirts and rear fender area myself (about $100)
I had just the front bumper done at a shop (after I removed the flags to have less visible lines (about $460)

This is worth it to me, and at that cost i don't mind redoing it every few years if the edges get dirty, or the film starts discoloring

$2,000 Xpel on my $70k 2014 C7 is A small amount to pay.Best money I ever spent.

A poll might have a built in bias since more enthusiasts tend to participate in forums and enthusiasts probably are more apt to get their car wrapped. Just my opinion.

Hi Dave,

I am a big fan of the "invisible bra" and have had it put on the last 5 Corvettes I have owned. I think it is well worth the price...definitely cheaper than having the nose repainted every year or so. They have perfected this product immensely. By the way, Dave, I bought a brand new 2016 Z06 (orange, of course!) last June. Had the bra put on at 88 miles!

Miss seeing you, my friend.

Well my car is being delivered in first week of June and I am using Xpel Ultimate on the entire hood,front end, front fenders,mirrors ,headlights,door handle area.$1495 total which sounds cheap compared to what I paid for the car. So my vote will be YES!

YO-EL

Pulled the film off my car (white) after a month.
Didn't like the way it looked..
Turned the bright white panels off white/cream.

Even on dark color cars, paint pops more without it.
If you don't drive with your nose up someones ***, there's probably not too much to fret over chips, etc..

Always Red Dave

Your a great person Elaine this will be my first Corvette built from the factory for me 2017 3LZ A8 Z06 TORCH RED OF COURSE VERT stage 1 ground effects Black wheels mirrors and spoiler. Red stitching Package that includes red paddle shifters.Carbon Fiber interior package ETC. This might be my last one I am so EXCITED!!!!!! Miss talking Corvettes with you too!!

THIS IS NOT MY CAR BUT IT WILL BE JUST LIKE THIS ONE EXCEPT MINE WILL HAVE THE 3/4 SIDE SKIRTS!

L1FRDOG

Yes I had Xpel Ultimate full wrap (minus rear hatch and rear end). Absolutely love it I only have 2000 miles on her and it has saved my butt several times... Personally I recommend it Only if you live in a high chance rock chip area. I DO!!! Every car I have had has gotten chipped within the first week. No more...

rbartick

None on my Stage 2 Z06.

mjsongin

Just did mine today. Front end all around up to hood louvers, door handle pockets, outside mirrors & door edges. Have it on 4 cars currently and they all look great. Ounce of prevention....on the high risk areas only.

05XLRtoC7_San Diego

Nope- total waste of money unless you live an area with dirt/gravel roads

Can look horrible on a white car as it ages and yellows

No need for it in San Diego- my 10+ year old Cadillac XLR with 95k miles (about the same ride height as C7) had zero road chips/road rash when I sold it

Oskee

I had Xpel done on the front clip of my 2015 C7 Z06 Front fascia front fenders, whole hood , hood vents, headlites and mirriors
and now have a 2017 C7 Z06 on order and yes I will have Xpel installed as soon as I take delivery of my new C7 Z06 Also Xpel has a 10 year warranty !

Jus Cruisin

A no for me.

justplainjim

I was under the impression that the film was less visible on a white car. Apparently I got some bad information. Scheduled to have Suntek installed on the front bumper 5-22. Now having second thoughts..
