I only recommend Wrapping your entire C7 with Xpel if you plan on keeping it for a VERY long time. I plan on keeping my 2017 Z06 for as long as I can drive if that qualifies for long enough! I found ACP paint protection in Attleboro ,Massachusetts on the official Xpel website as a recommended installer with reasonable pricing and AWESOME install QUALITY. Thank You Amir for a perfect job and being a great person to work with !

What did it cost to wrap the entire car?

Congrats on finding a good installer. The Xpel stuff works great - I have it on my DD.

I don’t know it reminds me of plastic covers people used to put on furniture. In time that wrap will curl at the edges and yellow with age no matter what they say.

I keep going back and forth on getting mine done (or at least the most vulnerable sections). I've had my GS for almost 7 months and have only put 1300 miles on it. But I'm concerned that when I start doing a few road trips in it, I'll run into some bad roads or some freshly applied chip seal. I'm trying to find some personal recommends for my area.

Oddly enough, my first '95 Vette that was a little over a year old when I bought it, got hit in long-term parking at the airport while I was out of town shortly after I bought it. I was sick when I saw the big streak going down the side of my driver's side door. I saw some ripped transparent film where the car had been swiped. I pulled off the loose film and the paint looked as good as new. I had no clue that the car had apparently been wrapped by the prior owner way back then.

Had my 2014 Z51 condom-wrapped (with Xpel Ultimate) within days of taking delivery in Feb, 2014. Looks as good as the day I brought it home. Will do the same with my 2019 GS when it arrives
