Just got my c8 back from being matte ppf wrapped in xpel stealth.
Does LULZ think I made the right choice or should I have left it glossy?

Before
So you paid out the ass for a wrap just to make the car not be shiny
Holy fuck it must be cool to be rich and able to waste money like that
>wheelbase of a schoolbus
It would look so much better if it didn't stretch for a mile past the intake duct.
GM is still forcing a high capacity trunk requirement.
The Corvette C8R just fills it with radiators.
>GM is still forcing a high capacity trunk requirement
good
checked. the rear wheel ends up looking undersized as a result kek
I can't even see a difference
I like both but the matte suits it better
ignore the seething subhumans btw

M'goyim, I...

Real life isn't like your animays chuddie
The C8 makes like 700 HP right? I doubt what you're saying is true.
>The C8 makes like 700 HP right?
WRONG
it looks like blue chalk now, wtf. At least you could’ve gotten non-fag blue.
Nice anon. I can dig the matte
Glossy gives it a nice caramel apple finish. If paint could be delicious.
What post C4 Corvettes hold their value? Every generation of Z06 (besides the C2) is worth pennies now and it isn't fair.
c7 z06 is almost 80k
C7 zr1 costs the same as final viper acrs now
>C7 zr1 costs the same as final viper acrs now
It was over before it started.
Nah they seem like 160-190 from a quick glance, expensive as fuck but viper acr is now 250-300. Wild pricing all the way around though.
none apart from the manual C7 ZR1. everything else is just worse than the current corvette so they will just depreciate.
I've never seen a new car uglier than this piece of shit.
Nice, sweet car I love it.
put a Mclaren GT emblem on it.
How much was it? It's look fine, but it also looked fine before. Just trying to protect the original paint well having it look similar to the original?
Damn OP I'm jealous, all I have is my shitty slow and gay sti and miata, I wish I could afford a c8.
RTX Off looking shit!
matte is never acceptable! A car should shin like a fucking mirror!
i like the glossy more than the matte tbh.
but i also think ppf is a waste of money
did you tint the windows any though, that's the only thing i've been tempted by.
Looks like shit boss

RIP in piece, your organs
It's the production of it which is toxic. OP's gay ass wrap will unfortunately not give him more aids than he already has
i think it looks fucking boss. makes me want to do it to my car. $7k is too rich for my blood though, i'd probably get a set of BBSs if i was looking to burn that much cash.
Once I saw the price of stealth wraps, you could just get it repainted for a similar price... Hard to justify the cost vs value.
ugliest car ive ever seen
that looks awful anon
nice gran turismo 2 graphics
Mogs Base C7 and Base C8.
500 Freedom Pounds lighter than Base Poors.
shitty OEM valve guides send their regards
Looks really good. I like it more than gloss. Cars with lots of aggressive sharp angles and shiny paint are too much.
It looks more like a hotwheels now so I guess you've got that going for you.
kek
Damn I’ve only seen xpel stealth on black cars. Looks ok I guess. I went with the front half of my c8 in non stealth cuz fuck paying 7k for plastic wrap
I've had things like door dings happen multiple times that needed $1k to blend the panel and wasn't as good as original paint. Worth it to never worry about that imo. Fronts good but damage happens elsewhere too.
>35% isn't tint anon. thats basically the solar tint gm has on its glass already. why didn't you go darker?
35% is way darker than what's already on there in person. I also like seeing through my windows at night. Also, I live in Virginia where tint is policed pretty heavily. 35% is already illegal I'd rather not push it, especially since I'm also driving without a front plate.
>I've had things like door dings happen multiple times that needed $1k to blend the panel and wasn't as good as original paint.
What? If your talking about paint correction, that’s extremely common before any ceramic application, regardless of ppf
>Fronts good but damage happens elsewhere too.
Simply not true lol. Anything that will damage the side or rear of your car will not be saved by ppf and will look 100x worse with damaged PPF over it
35% isn't tint anon. thats basically the solar tint gm has on its glass already. why didn't you go darker?
nagger spotted
Wow looks good, I like it man. That looks like Florida in the background so it's even more based.
>Wow looks good, I like it man. That looks like Florida in the background so it's even more based.
Thanks, but in what way does that look like Florida? There's fall leaves.
Door dings, shopping carts, people slowly running into your car in a parking lot are all things that on a plastic/fiberglass body car like the c8 can cause serious paint issues but won't necessarily break through ppf.
Already owned one of these before, nice for commuting but they are extremely unfun.
There's basically 0 shitboxes that come factory with matte paint. There's a bunch of expensive cars that do.
>Already owned one of these before, nice for commuting but they are extremely unfun.
For the price of your corvette and sticker wrap you could have got a tesla plaid s that runs 9.2 out of the box making 1025hp/1025tq.
hold still while I GAP you
Incel car.
sorry, forgot to add "in a straight line" to that sentence
>drives a meme
>thinks is cool
lel
>Mostly did it to protect the paint but figured if I'm paying that much I might as well make it look a little unique at the same time.
Not a bad idea. I've thought about getting a new paint job then a wrap to protect it.
I would have done a marine blue or a forest metallic green
matte paint is for mexicans
you finally got to the point of affording an expensive car... dont bring 2007 honda civic sedan (automatic) tier mods to it
you could have wrapped the bumpers in plastic like matte gray film
and gotten steelie-like forged rims for peak shitbox aesthetic (which Corvette is, and it is not a bad thing)
but you still lie to yourself
you colossal homosexual
It still looks like a V8 Corvette, ie: it looks like shit, anon. Should have bought a Lotus like I did.
>Does LULZ think I made the right choice or should I have left it glossy
Seems like a pointless expense. Looks pretty identical to before, but fuck it if you enjoy it why not. Heres mine and I also considered a matte black wrap.
>texas sticker
>no front plates
sir, you're breaking the law
>sir, you're breaking the law
good
I'll pay that tax officer. Thanks for understanding.
Those wheels are abysmal bro
why and what do you recommend. ill consider it when they wear out. theyre just the default tires it comes with. i know very little about cars and bought it because i thought it looked cool
>mid engine dohc autotragic
>corvette
Holy shit pick one. I wish the C8 was just a new line and they kept the Corvette as God intended: front engine pushrod V8
Same shit at the mach e
>Dumb fuck fell for the ppf meme
LMAO
Enjoy your rock chips dingus
Ok boomer
Car looks good but like the style of the house more.
I'd still rather have a working penis, but whatever makes you happy, OP.
Only retards get rid of suspension travel for looks on a street car. Stance is so fucking stupid, making your car drive worse just for looks.
>PPF isn't going to change this. We're already fucked when it comes to microplastics
The plastic feminized you so much you got a barbie car.
I mean lets be honest.
