Todd Jensen at Sun Control of MN. They have an office in Hudson, WI. He offers both 3M Pro and Suntek films. I will probably go with 3M since two of my good friends work there and they have it on their C6Z's.

Make sure 3M has the lifetime guarantee against yellowing and hazing. Had the Ferrari done 5 yrs ago with 3M and the hazing on the hood is now unacceptable. Will be replaced with X-pel which is guaranteed. At the 5 yr. mark you run the risk of paint pull. Fun and games!!

Will do, thanks. I guess the new 3M Pro Series doesn't yellow any longer. Thankfully my car isn't white anyways. I appreciate the heads up

I didn't know they offered splash guards as an accessory. Cool

I had the exact same issue with a C6 Z06 and 427---the front tires are wider than the car. I put on the APSIS splash guards on both cars and never had a problem--it was the 1st thing I did with the new Z06 (with Xpel on the car too).
