Completely protected from rocks & scratches - Clear Bra/PPF/Ceramic Coating 2023 C8 Corvette HTC
You probably are thinking that this Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights area client brought us back his 2023 C8 Corvette HTC in Rapid Blue, but that would be incorrect! This clear bra/PPF job is NOT the same 2023 Rapid Blue Corvette you saw a few weeks ago receiving a full front clear bra. THIS 2023 C8 Corvette HTC is a different one, and it received a full body clear bra, interior ceramic coating, wheels off ceramic coating, and interior ceramic coating.
This first-time Corvette owner wanted to protect their car for life, and so they brought their 2023 C8 Corvette Hard Top Convertible (HTC) to us to protect for the life of the car (essentially). Our clear bra/paint protection film/PPF packages are warranted for 10-12 years, depending on the selected products. In this case, this C8 Corvette received our 12-year warranty gloss film, which covers almost every painted spot on the car.
After we finished the long task of installing PPF everywhere on this 2023 C8 Corvette HTC, we removed the wheels to ceramic coat the brake calipers and inner portions of the wheel, as well as ceramic coated the interior, glass, and then over the top of the PPF. PPF is great for car enthusiasts, as most minor swirls and scratches will heal in the Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights sun! Someone brushes up against your car? No issue. Get caught in the rain? No issue. Rock chips on I-35? No issue (usually!).
Protecting a Corvette with PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a wise decision for several reasons:
- Preserves the Corvette’s Appearance: Corvettes are high-performance vehicles that often have expensive paint finishes. Applying PPF to the Corvette’s exterior surfaces will help maintain the original paint finish, protecting it from fading, chipping, and other types of damage.
- Protects against damage: Corvettes are often driven on the open road, which can expose the paint finish to road debris, rocks, and other hazards. Applying PPF to the vehicle’s paint surface will create an additional layer of protection against these hazards, preventing unsightly chips and scratches that can damage the Corvette’s appearance.
- Easy maintenance: PPF is easy to clean and maintain, making it an excellent investment for anyone who wants to keep their Corvette looking its best. The film can be washed with soap and water, just like the rest of the vehicle, without worrying about damaging the paint surface.
- Long-lasting protection: PPF is a durable material that can last for years, providing long-lasting protection for the Corvette’s paint finish. This means that the vehicle’s appearance and value will be preserved over the long term, making it an excellent investment for any Corvette owner.
Overall, applying PPF to a Corvette is an excellent way to protect the vehicle’s paint finish, preserve its appearance and value, and make it easier to maintain. It is a smart investment for any Corvette owner who wants to ensure that their vehicle stays in top condition

Moreover, there are minimal differences between major film manufacturers like Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, STEK clear bra, Flexishield, Global, Legend, and more. Importantly, the key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which installers have to deal with, but generally don’t affect anything the client sees.
