Protecting the 2024 C8 Corvette Z06 with Autobahn PPF and Tint in Central Texas

The 2024 C8 Corvette Z06 is an automotive masterpiece, boasting a 5.5L LT6 V8 engine that delivers a staggering 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. With a mid-engine design and a 0-60 mph acceleration in just 2.6 seconds, the Z06 is a true marvel of performance engineering. For owners of such an exceptional car, protecting its paint and interior is crucial. That’s why our team in Killeen, TX, was thrilled to install a full-front Autobahn Incognito Paint Protection Film (PPF) on a stunning Arctic White 2024 C8 Corvette Z06, along with carbon flash accents and a splitter.

Why Autobahn Incognito PPF is Essential for High-Performance Cars

Central Texas roads, especially busy highways like I-35 and I-14, are notorious for rock chips and road debris. High-speed driving in the area makes vehicles more vulnerable to damage. Autobahn Incognito PPF offers exceptional protection, shielding your car from chips, scratches, and other environmental hazards.


Our full-front PPF package includes coverage for the hood, front bumper, fenders, and mirror caps. For this Corvette, we also covered the carbon flash accents and splitter, removing and replacing the Corvette badge to ensure no excessive seams. What sets Autobahn PPF apart is its ceramic-infused, hydrophobic surface that repels water and dirt effortlessly. With unparalleled clarity and virtually zero orange peel texture, the film is practically invisible, preserving the sleek design of the Z06.


Mike and Matthew, our PPF experts, bring years of combined experience and training under some of the most respected names in the industry. Our high standards and attention to detail have earned us hundreds of five-star reviews, including one from John T., who said, “My Corvette looks flawless thanks to the team. The PPF is practically invisible, and they wrapped every edge perfectly!” We also follow up with every client after two weeks to ensure satisfaction and address any concerns. See more reviews here.

Window Tint: Protecting Your Interior and Enhancing Comfort

For this Corvette, we also installed Autobahn Ceramic i3 window tint. This high-performance tint blocks 99% of UV rays and up to 93% of infrared heat, protecting the car's interior from fading and cracking. It keeps the cabin cooler, making drives more comfortable, especially in the intense Texas heat.


Our tinter, Jose, has been perfecting his craft for 13 years and is recognized as the best in Central Texas. Many clients mention him by name in their reviews, including Sarah L., who said, “Jose’s work on my Tesla was impeccable. The tint is seamless, and the attention to detail is unmatched!” For frameless windows, like those on Corvettes and Teslas, we use a shaving technique to achieve a flawless finish, further solidifying our reputation as the go-to high-end tint shop in the Killeen area.

The Importance of Ceramic Coating

To complete the protection package, ceramic coating provides an extra layer of durability and shine. Its hydrophobic properties make cleaning a breeze and protect against contaminants like bird droppings and tree sap. A ceramic coating not only enhances the vehicle’s gloss but also ensures long-lasting protection.

Changing a tesla cybertruck to black phantom red near killeen tx
By Matthew Jones March 29, 2025
Love them or hate them, the 2024 Cybertrucks are polarizing cars. At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we love ALL cars, especially when we get to install color change PPF on them! We have 120 different colors to choose from, and this Killeen area client picked Black Phantom Red from UPPF / Terminax with a 10 year warranty. We have Interstellar Chrome Blue on our minivan, Diamond Black on our loaner car, and have installed the Satin Black on a previous Tesla Cybertruck, and all are holding up great! Despite the abuse that my personal Kia Carnival takes as well as our Kia Forte loaner car, the film maintains a great level of hydrophobics - making the film (and cars) super easy to detail. Even the recent dust storms we had in the Copperas Cove - Killeen - Temple area came off fairly easily with just soap and water (and no scrubbing).

Should You Pay Out of Pocket for Hail Damage Repair in Killeen, TX?
By Matthew Jones March 27, 2025
Short answer? Probably not. Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, Harker Heights, and Copperas Cove can get very expensive—very fast. Many people assume that fixing hail damage is a simple, low-cost process until they see the final repair bill. We often have customers who purchase a car with existing hail damage, thinking they’ll fix it later. But once they realize how labor-intensive and costly hail repair actually is, they start to rethink their decision. If you’re considering paying out of pocket for hail repair, let’s break down why it’s almost never a good idea and what alternatives are available.
The Hail Damage Repair Supplement Process in Killeen, TX (And Why We Don’t Provide Written Estima
By Matthew Jones March 27, 2025
Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, can be a frustrating process, especially when dealing with insurance claims and supplements. One of the longest parts of getting your vehicle repaired after a hailstorm is waiting for the insurance supplement approval—something many vehicle owners don’t realize upfront. If your car was caught in one of the recent hailstorms in Killeen, Copperas Cove, or Harker Heights, chances are your insurance company’s initial estimate was far too low. In fact, we can confidently say that 99.99% of all hail damage insurance estimates are underwritten or undervalued when first reported. So why does this happen, and how does the supplement process work? Let’s break it down.
Protecting a Limited-Edition 2025 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake with Custom Paint Protection Film
By Matthew Jones March 26, 2025
There are cool trucks, and then there are legendary trucks—and this 2025 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is one of the coolest we’ve had in the shop! This isn’t just any F-150; it’s a beastly, high-performance truck built for speed, style, and exclusivity. Given its limited production and custom modifications, this Shelby Super Snake required a fully custom paint protection film (PPF) installation. Since this isn’t an official Ford production model, pre-cut templates for PPF simply don’t exist—meaning this was an extensive custom job requiring precision and expertise.

When Is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) Not Suitable for Hail Damage or Door Dings in Killeen, TX?
By Matthew Jones March 26, 2025
At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we specialize in paintless dent repair (PDR) to restore vehicles damaged by hail storms, door dings, and minor dents, all while preserving the original factory paint. However, not all dents can be repaired using PDR. Some vehicles in Killeen, TX, Copperas Cove, and Temple sustain damage that requires conventional body shop work, whether due to the severity of the dent, stretched metal, cracked paint, or material limitations. If your car was hit by hail in Killeen, TX, or received a door ding in a Fort Cavazos parking lot, here’s everything you need to know about when PDR won’t be the best option for your repairs—and why.
