Default Changed the look of my ZR...New wrap

I always wanted to do this somehow. Maybe because I like the C6 ZR1 cockpit look a lot...
Hope you guys like it...

Looks great, I plan to do the same. How much did it run you, and what specific product was used?

He didn’t give me the price yet for the wrap. It is the 3M 1080 gloss black metallic wrap (code should be G212 if I am not wrong). We are doing couple of things together. We did the 3M crystalline window tint first. 40% side and back and 70% front windshield. I’ll go back Wednesday for the Modesta ceramic coating. I’ll let you know in couple of days.

- I appreciate it. I am planning on tinting my windows, less aggressively, including nearly clear tint on the front for added UV protection for my eyes and the interior. Would be curious to compare costs of that too, between SoCal and where you are.

3M crystalline tint was about $600. Regular tint is 1/3 of that. I am in South Florida so I elected the one that rejects the most heat and UV. It actually works. Our legal tint limit in Florida is 28% on front side windows and 15% in the back. I actually went way below the legal limit at 40% but since the interior is black the windows look darker...

Had a ZR1 wax customer do this and had the transparent top on, the black matched perfect, from the dark tinted windows up it looks like one piece. Very nice

Love it! Thought of this with a similar layout using the front splitter, tieing it in with side vents to help cover my carbon boo boo.

can you post a head on shot of front? Thanks
