Dave, gotta get those lift blocks for sure. My ppf appointment will be soon as well! She is definitely getting tracked! Thanks for the recommendations !
FH212, I am not a white car guy either but I'm loving looking at this thing every time I get to walk up or walk away from it haha thank you. wjones14, M235i is such a great fun car. I'm loving this thing more and more the more I get to spend time with it. I'm too damn busy, I just wanna put some miles on it. Mine is 1SS but what you get is still a real good deal. You're right about the drama, just even stock this motor/exhaust is pure sex. |

Congrats. The chassis on the C6 Camaro is SUPERB. The Best handling front engine car I have ever driven.

As to PPF on the front i wouldnt do it again, but that's just my personal opinion. The biggest issue is rear quarters by a country mile, especially on a track. Fyi to the OP: ZL1addons.com have lift pucks - a must have - (permanent work well) as well as nice (but expensive) tow hooks if ya dont like the one in the trunk, or if ya want a tow hook/license plate holder combo. They also carry mud flaps which help (just a little) keeping crap off the rear quarters. Brake lines are optional imo. Ive tracked my car for 3 seasons with stockers with zero issues. Cheers! |

Totally agree... it was between the M2 Competition and my Camaro 2SS 1LE... drove both, and for the money, the Camaro wins easily. |

I'd also agree brake lines aren't necessary, just for pedal feel. You can also get the same leather wrapped knee pads used in the 2SS or ZL1, I got them new for about $200 here in the classifieds. On PPF I'm putting a layer of matte PPF in front of the rear wheels over the clear PPF, this area of the car gets a ton of rock hits even with rock guards. I just put the ACS side skirts on, hope that helps...

Why is it too late to put on PPF on the quarter panel, is it really that torn up? Mine's not bad at all (yet), just marble smears, but that's with just two track nights. |

Fun game: Compare the suspension of the 6th Gen Camaro to the E9X BMW.

All you can do is add PPF and rock guards or splash guards. That won't stop the damage, but it will minimize it. Agree with Track Club about the front PPF. It's just not really mandatory, compared to rear quarter.

If I decide to keep it for another season I will replace existing and double up with new per Dave's suggestion. But, i may get a 2020 instead. |

my old bmw 128i was the first car i've really wrenched on the suspension (struts, shocks, and camber plates). When i was aligning the front of my Camaro a few weeks ago, it all looked familiar, but i didn't make much of it because my only frame of reference was the bmw, guess it looked similar or other reasons. |

Also, if you cover the splitter, hood, mirrors and rear spoiler (only necessary for looks) with the Xpel stealth material, all the black surfaces will match in color and finish. |
