However, it's upwards of $3,000 to do it. I'm not too familiar with it but I like the idea of it. My question to you guys is, how effective is PPF? Would you pay an extra 3K for it on your Stingray or is there a cheaper, yet still effective alternative? I do a lot of freeway driving..

My 2011 Lotus Evora S came with the film from the manufacture.. The day I take delivery of my new C7 I will have the front bumper and the headlights covered. IMO: If you look at the lines of the C7 I feel you can get away with not covering the hood. I enjoy waxing the car and once an area is covered you are only cleaning the clear plastic film. You should also look at doing the rear bumper area so rocks don't flip up and hit the paint. I have a guy in Dallas that is top notch. Remember this film is removable and can be replaced and should keep the front almost 99% paint chip free. You want a Clear Bra installer that can handle kit-less installations so you get no visable seams. Kits are put in a computer and printed out on a plotter which will have breaks/seams to join corners instead of stretching the film so you end up with no visible edge. Here is a site that can give you additional info
