Just purchased 0496, black, radio/ac out of Columbus OH. Only 599 miles, still has the original tires which will be replaced in the spring. Completely stock, debating on ceramic or PPF.

If you can get paint correction then ceramic Cquartz pro or similar and then PFF over it. It'll be costly but your point will be immaculate. The PPF will offer max protection.

You lucky bastard !! Nice find . Enjoy that beast !!

Thank ya, been looking for a year and a half, snoozed on a couple. Figured I better pull the trigger on this one and the price was right.
I'm still not completely sold that PPF won't cloud after a couple years and I still like to hand wax with a good carnuba after a paint correction but I can see the benefits of ceramic.

If you dont want to do full PPF, get paint protection on the vulnerable areas. Front bumper/splitter, rear quarter panels. The ZL1 add-ons rock guards also help.

camfwin · 12-06-2023, 11:50 AM

ZL1 addons rock guards have been ordered, I was thinking the same thing on the ppf. Front end, mirrors and the quarter panels. I had a '15 2ss and those areas seem to be the most subject to rock damage.
Thanks for the ideas.

My rockers are ppf'd as well, helps with rocks and scratching with getting in and out.

My friends 13 ZL1 has the front bumper, mirrors, rocker panels and rear quarters all PPF'd, and ceramic coated. It is his daily driver.
