Has anyone gotten Xpel installed for a NCM pickup?
Thanks for the post, George; I did not know that.I wouldn't cover the headlights with Xpel, or anything else for that matter. I had my film removed from the headlights on my C7 as it was contributing to a hazing inside the cover. Note in the current October issue of Corvette magazine's 'Tech Nerd' section where they discuss C6 headlight crazing. I believe some of the same issues are still going on with the C7s when you cover the HID headlight pods with a film. Anything that contributes to heat buildup will potentially cause problems with the headlight covers. Chevy bulletins have called these covers "extremely sensitive to anything that comes into contact with them:.
If I were you I would do the rockers the main part to protect is in front of the rear wheels, just from experience stating my opinion, cquarts does not protect from rock chips.I'm only having XPEL done as a bra and on the panels behind each wheel. Then it's off to get CQuartz.
Do the lights, I did and no issues, I also have a small diamond crack in the headlight before having it wrapped by expel. Its worth doing it as John said no issues here.Joshua, I am going with the full hood treatment. I know my luck and I would guarantee that a rock would hit the area I left unexposedAlso the thought of a film line bothered me. I have heard others say that with his installation that it is hard to see...but IMHO it is worth the extra $s.
George, thanks for the info about the lights. I was definitely planning on doing the lights....until now.
I love this forum![]()
