Protecting a 2025 C8 Corvette Stingray in Sea Wolf Gray with Autobahn PPF and Ceramic Coating

The 2025 C8 Corvette Stingray in Sea Wolf Gray is a striking combination of power and design. With its mid-engine layout and 6.2L V8 engine producing 495 horsepower, this performance machine can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds. Such a stunning car deserves premium protection, especially on the fast-paced highways of Central Texas like I-35 and I-14, where rock chips and road debris are inevitable.

Recently, we had the pleasure of installing Autobahn Incognito Paint Protection Film (PPF) on this beautiful Stingray, covering the hood, fenders, front bumper, trim pieces, and mirrors in our popular full-front package.

Autobahn Incognito PPF: Unparalleled Paint Protection

Driving in Central Texas comes with risks, especially from flying debris that can chip and scratch your car's paint. Autobahn Incognito PPF is designed to shield your vehicle from such hazards, offering a ceramic-infused, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and grime. The film boasts superior clarity with virtually no orange peel texture, preserving the car’s stunning Sea Wolf Gray finish.


At our shop, we wrap all edges as standard to ensure a seamless, invisible finish that enhances the car’s aesthetics. With Mike and Matthew's combined years of experience and training under respected industry leaders, our installations are as close to flawless as possible.


Autobahn PPF comes with an industry-leading lifetime warranty against yellowing, cracking, or fading. Additionally, it includes a unique no-fault warranty—unmatched in the industry—that provides up to $250 for PPF replacement in case of accidental or environmental damage. This gives our clients peace of mind, knowing their investment is protected.

One client, Josh K., shared his experience: “The PPF on my Corvette is unbelievable. You can’t even tell it’s there, and the edges are wrapped perfectly. These guys are true pros!”

Autobahn Ceramic i3 Window Tint: Comfort and Protection

To complement the PPF, our expert tinter Jose installed Autobahn Ceramic i3 window tint on this Corvette. With 13 years of experience and countless glowing reviews, Jose is recognized as the best tinter in Central Texas. His precise technique, including shaving frameless windows for a factory-like finish, ensures perfection on every job.



Autobahn Ceramic i3 tint blocks 99% of harmful UV rays and up to 93% of infrared heat, keeping the car’s interior cool and protecting it from fading and cracking. This is especially important for high-end vehicles like Corvettes and Teslas, which often feature premium interiors.

A recent review from Amanda R. highlights Jose’s expertise: “Jose did an amazing job on my Corvette. The tint looks flawless, and I can already feel the difference in the Texas heat!”

Ceramic Coating: Gloss and Easy Maintenance

After completing the PPF installation, we applied a ceramic coating to the rest of the Corvette. Ceramic coating enhances the vehicle’s shine, repels water, and makes cleaning a breeze. It’s perfect for tackling bug guts, bird droppings, road grime, and tree sap. However, ceramic coating is not a substitute for PPF. While it protects against contaminants and enhances shine, only PPF can shield your car from rock chips and scratches.


Most of our clients choose a combination of PPF on the full front (hood, fenders, front bumper, mirrors) and ceramic coating on the rest of the vehicle. This approach offers the best of both worlds: unmatched protection and a show-stopping finish.



Jessica T., one of our ceramic coating clients, said: “The ceramic coating on my car is incredible. It’s so easy to clean, and the shine is amazing!”

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).

What Can Prevent Hail Damage in the Killeen, TX Area?
By Matthew Jones March 27, 2025
If you’re in Killeen, TX, Harker Heights, or Copperas Cove, you know that hailstorms can be unpredictable and destructive. Every year, we get customers asking: 🚘 "How can I protect my car from hail damage?" The short answer: A garage or covered structure is the only real way to stop hail damage. Even then, depending on the size and wind speed of the storm, you may still experience some level of damage.

Let’s dive into the real answers about hail damage prevention.
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. Here’s what we installed on this 2025 F-150 Shelby Super Snake: ✔ Custom-Cut PPF on the hood, fenders, mirrors, and front bumper. ✔ Five-year ceramic coating on the paint, plastics, wheels, and glass. ✔ Hand-cut precision work to accommodate the unique Shelby modifications. 📍 Located near Killeen, Copperas Cove, and Temple, TX?

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.
