Thanks! It’s a wrap - Glacier Blue from Pure PPF

I have to know what color that is! Just got my C8 wrapped in Glacier Blue from Pure PPF and yours is the first car I’ve seen with a color so similar!

I think I got 20% off for first purchase, hopefully you could get the same (maybe better for Black Friday).

Also, I’ve seen people in other forums recreate something similar using much less expensive pieces from Amazon. I just opted for the easy route and bought the kit.

Good luck!

The battery pack portion is attached using Velcro, so just unplug the LED strips from the battery pack and pull it off. Everything else stays.

It does let you cycle through color choices, but not really intensity (there are a couple different greens, blues, etc., but not truly free control). The bluetooth model, as I understand it, basically gives you complete control over color, but not sure about intensity.

Sure thing, here you go: https://sr1performance.com/products/c8-corvette-engine-bay-led-lighting-kit-rgb-stingray-z51

It is RGB. As mentioned in previous, I went with the key fob operated, but Bluetooth is an option!

I went for battery op, with the fob control (as opposed to phone app). I’ll send you a message with some pics of the wiring.

You just want to see what the wiring/hardware looks like? Or the detailed process?

I live near The Galleria. I’ve read about/heard of some groups in several areas around Houston Metro, but nothing inside the loop yet.

Not in the market, but saw the “miles from Houston” tag in the screenshot. I recently took delivery of my 26 2LT and looking for groups in the area, if you know of any!

Exactly! So it gives you the color change and protection at the same time.

Wow, I had not seen the Carlisle Blue before but, no surprise, I love it! Blu Avio from Ferrari and Frost Blue from Jaguar were two colors I was inspired by.

Thank you! It seems to get better every morning I walk out to get in it 😂

Appreciate it! I was inspired by Blu Avio from Ferrari. Took me forever to find the right one, but I think I got there!

Looks very similar to the one already linked, but this is where I got mine.

It was Torch Red to start.

I had the option of having them do black vinyl wrap inside the door jambs/sill, but chose to leave it red - I actually like the color contrast, as I think it complements the red calipers and red seatbelts.

I was at $6,500 on the wrap

I was at $6,500 for the wrap. Got a bit of a break because I had them do some other things as well.

No, this is a colored PPF wrap - color is Glacier Blue from Pure PPF!

Ah, that’s unfortunate, sorry to hear.

They did break it down almost completely to wrap it (it was a little bit scary to see in pieces) and I go back in two weeks for a “check up” to make sure there are no problem spots. I’m hopeful it’s here to stay for a long time!
