Good to see Corvette's demanding MSRP or a premium. And while you're laughing over a computer keyboard, a baller will buy it and be laughing and smiling driving it and not worrying about whether he paid over MSRP or not.

I just was quoted with a Black Friday Special, $5800 Xpel plus Ceramic Pro. My installer has done my previous 458, current 488, 14 Stingray and 17 ZO7. Like my 488, next month I will have a total wrap for the ZR1.

Hey DJ - Have you done Xpel over Ceramic before? I wanted to do the same but my installer and Xpel recommends that you do not do that. So I think I will do what I did on my Z51 - total wet sand and buff to remove all orange peel before the wrap.

10K for the clear bra?!? Lol.
Repo you shouldn’t need much paint prep, the finish is almost perfect on most. Buff , PPF, then Ceramic Pro....

Repo Pilot-Xpel then Ceramic!! It is almost just a water rinse off to clean. The installer makes the difference!

baller’s that do this typically are not “top shelf” ballers. ballers don’t get to be top shelf ballers by indiscriminately pissing money away. Even if they are old and on their deathbeds.

Now they might Spend big on some old piece of **** milliondollar + Ferrari trying to time the market to make a buck.

Saw this back in 2006 on a Z06 with a 20,000 ''market adjustment''. Back at the time I was working for my dads car lot and also writing for Motor Age and AASP, I did an article about ''additional dealer markup'' showing a similar window sticker.
