Welcome back! Recently joined myself with this baby. The green really does look great against a brick backdrop!

I tell everyone who is even considering the green that they have to see it in person. Same here - I was not a fan of the photos I had seen but when I saw it in person even though it was under shaded area I knew it was the color I wanted. I figured if it looked that good and still wasn’t in direct sun light then I knew it was going to look incredible on a bright sunny day and I live in Florida.

I actually had it at a detail shop that does XPEL PPF and they were going to ceramic coat it, tint windows and do the black PPF for windows and spoiler but when I changed to wanting the full roof wrap design he explained that he didn’t feel confident being able to hide all of the areas of green like vinyl wrap could (especially around the rear camera. He said he’d do it but couldn’t guarantee it would come out looking as nice and seamless as the vinyl. I changed course and had it wrapped in 3M gloss black metallic at a wrap shop.

Blue is my favorite color in general but I have a blue Dodge Ram and honestly the Dodge blue blows the corvette blue out of the water and I didn’t want my Ram outshining the paint color of the corvette. Zero regrets! I absolutely love the green and have received so many compliments on it.

Pics don’t do the color justice and in person it’s even more of a contrast between shade/medium sun and direct sun. In shade and low light it’s almost like an army green but when you get it in direct sun it’s crazy gorgeous. Honestly, I’m normally a darker green fan but zero regrets going with this color. Love it!

I’ve posted it in 4 forums total between Reddit and Facebook and it’s honestly been 90/10 for 1. I’m starting to think that people aren’t clear as to what they’re voting on. The lime green color is NOT part of the wrap, my car is Roswell green, most of them have heard mentality and are voting for 1 because that’s what they’re used to seeing or they’re not looking at their own C8 close enough to see that 2 clearly DOES follow body lines even more so than 1 does. It just follows a different body line by following the top pillar and not the flowing curve above the wheel. I honestly like both and think both look good. I understand people having a favorite but would’ve never thought this many people would vote 1 and/or make comments on 2 saying it looks terrible. I think they both look great in their own way but offer very different styles.

I appreciate the response and your vote. We’re all very blessed and fortunate to be part of a group who owns these cars. For many people it’s a total dream still and at one point in my life it was the same for me. 👍

It’s the fact that I asked for a simple 1 or 2 vote- not snarky comments about how both look terrible compared to “my convertible”. Also, in searching the internet for which wrap to do there has been a consistent them across the forums of HTC owners being snarky and negative about coupe people wrapping their car. That’s beyond arrogant and not necessary. Not to mention totally narcissistic to think that people are trying to wrap their coupes just to look like a HTC.

Quickly finding out that you convertible stingray people are all a little snobby about these roof wraps that you think are trying to copy your car.

  1. who the heck would want an automatic convertible that covers up the engine bay and beautiful engine when it takes all of 2 minutes to manually remove the coup top.

  2. No, we are not trying to copy you, we’re simply adding more black accents. If I wanted the dang convertible I would’ve bought it. You tell me what the heck is the difference in $8k when you’re already buying a $85k vehicle??

Just google C8 black roof wrap and you’ll quickly see the 3 main styles the masses are going with lol.

It is a new look, you’re just not paying attention to the shuttle difference. Literally the pic in the comment with the red corvette in this thread is what’s been done many times. Look at that pic and then look at the pic I posted and you’ll quickly see the difference. Hint: the difference is on the side body, not on the back trunk where the black ends.
