Z0Sick6

Hi all,

I am torn on the route to go. My car is about to be done being bayed and off to my dealer. I have a 2017 Z06 - Torch Red being delivered.

I have narrowed down to 2 options for XPEL:

Package 3: Bumper, Hood, Headlights, Mirrors, Rear Quarters, rockers including lower doors where that sharp line comes INCLUDING behind front mud flap area, and behind rear mud flap area. $2745

Package 4: Entire car - excluding top and back roof. $3495

Net difference of $755. I feel package 3 will protect the prone areas - only thing not included are front quarters and the doors.

For what its worth - I am also going to spend money to get the car ceramic coated by me once I get it home.

What do you think?

Also, if going Package 3 - this is a certified XPEL installer that does dozens of corvettes a month - will be perfect install, will I notice a difference in paint from covered to uncovered parts?

I would do the roof too. I had my entire car done except the rear panel.

If keeping the car for along time (this is my last vette) I would get the Xpel; however, if only keeping for a few years I would just go with the ceramic.

My car is basically a DD, I did the equivalent of your package 4. I also plan on getting a ceramic coating some time in the next couple of months.

I went with the same as your option 4 when I purchased the Z. I then had a local Xpel dealer cover the front splitter and side skirts. While it was there I was thinking of having him do the trunk area where you tend to push when closing it. He simply added a small piece of expel where you push and this seems to work fine. And it's practically invisible unless you look very closely. So at least with my DSOM color you really can't tell where the Xpel is located and where it isn't located.

You could get the ceramic coating over the xPel ? I thought it was put on before the wrap

Xpel and Ceramic coating! Do it!

You put ceramic coat over xpel?

save the $3500 and put it down when you trade the car for your next one.

I love my Xpel but almost have to agree with this. ^ If you are keeping the car for awhile then it is a no brainer, however, after recent trade in quotes they don't care how well the car was protected and whats on it. I kinda wish I had the two extra grand in my pocket.
