As to the seat-belt "situation," the C7 has the same setup/problem. Well said as to wrapping a C8, whether viewers like yours or not, the bottom-line is that's amazing in not only it's design, but in the engineering involved with coming up with it, to say nothing of what's involved with the installation. These high-end wrap installers now have to be pretty much top-notch mechanics as well in that the cars have to, or should be torn down for a true professional install. Love the leaf-guard hack. One has to sit back and say, "Why didn't I think of that!?" Brilliant! All sound advice Mike. Save the Wave🙋🏼‍♂️

Peter Carey Yeah, it was starting to get on my nerves and my wife’s nerves. I was happy to receive the seatbelt stays for sure. I thought you would like the leaf guard trick, my follower Jose Flores came up with the idea and walked me through how to do it. 😊

Great info! 1. Regarding the issue with the seat belts i had the same problem in my Ferrari 355 and again in my C7. The new GT2 seats for the C8 addresses this issue supposedly. We'll see. 2. Front Grill guards - excellent idea! 3. For those of you without a garage the outdoor CARCOON works very well. I would recommend it even with a carport. 4. Invest in a really good hail cover when parked away from home! I heard they work great.

@steveromano3155 4 жыл бұрын

#7, base on my experience in Florida, a partial wrap like yours will burn in over a long period of time, the wrap protects the clear while the uncovered section degrade. So take the wrap off 5 years later and the lines where the wrap ends will be visible in the clear coat and may our may not cone out with paint correction/compound.

Some people just love the attention that wrap provides. The police will really notice you more than the standard colors and for sure the C8 gets lots of attention all by itself.

Thank you for the tip on the screen. I am picking up my C8 tomorrow and that is the first thing I am going to do. But first I am going to look at other screen-type options. Those radiators are crucial to performance and radiator dents are so ugly. I wonder if there is a measurable difference in total airflow volume that may immediately affect performance as a result of installing a screen in the vents. A screen will provide a certain amount of resistance to the airflow and may also provide an excuse for the manufacturer to deny warranty coverage in a catastrophic failure. I am just kinda thinking out loud here but I wonder what you guys may think. Your car is epic with the wrap.

@corvetteworldrob8586 4 жыл бұрын

Great FAQ on the Wraps, I'm going to refer this to customers who plan to wrap. Good call on the intake screens. They need to do that for the side inlets too. I fear stuff will fly in there and create a mess.

hadn't heard of the seat belt issue before but glad it doesn't take long for a company to come up with a fix but can't GM make a seat belt that stays in place? lol

@superchief15 4 жыл бұрын

Your car is pretty but I am only going to cover impact surfaces. For the heat exchangers I am zip tying rock guards behind the grills. I’m going with metal like the screen over muffler. The front panels in front of the heat exchangers can be removed and replace as you can see the splitter installation. You already know why you need rock guards. I had an experience with the AC condenser on a Honda Odyssey that were not covered by the manufacturer even though they came behind me buying a condenser and made a rock guard part of the part of the grill. Honda said, “Not my fault!” We didn’t design the the grill to protect your AC or radiator!

@BrinkofSpeed 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you 😊 Yep, make sure those radiators are protected. It always blows my mind how I manufacture won’t take responsibility for their screwup’s.

How about the paint curing for 30-60 days before wrapping your beautiful new C8? (or any new/freshly painted car for that matter).. Great video!

@BrinkofSpeed 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that is true, however with the C8’s, they had been sitting in the plant parking lot for almost a month before they hit dealerships, so I’m sure that counts for some of that time. Thank you for your kind words and support sir! 😊

Mike we'e been adding screens for years on our 911's radiator intakes for years. DON'T use gutter guard! BTW I would never wrap a car till it's seen damage to the paint. I know a guy that wraps his Lambo every year. Why? Has paint/road rash.

Air flow could possibly come into issue with the screens. On building louvers insect screen can reduce air flow by as much as 50%. So , how much air flow reduction is acceptable?

Parham OBriant Yeah, I don’t think it will be at all because the screen holes are big enough to not make that an issue but I hear what you’re saying.
