Just got the ZL1 back from the PPF shop

mliebs · 07-23-2022, 02:42 PM

White is hard to photograph but in person it looks super clean and tight. I had the front from the doors forward, mirrors, A Pillars, front of the sunroof, side skirts, and splash areas covered in Xpel PPF and then had the car ceramic coated and the windows tinted. It'll need to go back to have the hood area worked on where they wrapped it around the edges but the same thing happened with my Vette so I'm not too concerned. I know the tow hook isn't everyones cup of tea but I personally like the way it looks. I still need to put the ZL1 addons front rock guards on but I've had enough for one day. Anyway, I was very happy when they pulled it out of the shop.

Beautiful!
Congratulations.
Speed safely....

Very nice! I like the tow hook. It’s one thing people will ask about and get a conversation started. Just another way to meet some nice car guys or gals.

Looks great... how much ?

Looks nice, I just had the vinyl wrap and the PPF replaced on my hood. I wasn’t happy with the factory vinyl.

Nice! Pretty much looks like my car. I still need to get on the ppf for the front. First solid piece of advice I received when picking up the car. The manager had one and told me how the front end was such a rock magnet. I drove the car home 360+ miles thru cow towns and rural areas and nothing so I've held off but I know it's a must.

Looks good!

Nice!!

mliebs · 07-23-2022, 04:49 PM

Thanks. Yes PPF is pretty much mandatory around here if you want to keep it looking good. I used track armor and blue painters tape when I drove it home 200 miles to avoid any problems. This is going to be a daily drive for me so I wanted to try and protect it as much as possible.

Looks great but my OCD is kicking in.

Take note of the trunk lid and how the right side sits a little lower than the left. Look at the gap left to right and where the trunk meets the bumper and tail lights. I think there are some adjustment knobs on the lid so you can even it out a bit.

I have major OCD too. Now I need to head out to the garage and see what's up.
