First Class Autosports is the top destination for C8 Corvette owners in search of protection, enhancement, or restyling. We have a proven track record of working with these exceptional machines. In this blog we will review some of our key services for the C8 Corvette platform, popular packages, and highlight some of our recent projects. Welcome to the world of American Performance!
At First Class Autosports we prioritize using the best materials on the market to ensure that your C8 Corvette will be as pristine as possible at the end of it's stay with us. Our specialists are certified with the best brands in the industry such as XPEL, Ceramic Pro, SunTek, and 3M to name a few. We constantly stride to find the best detailing products in this ever evolving market. One staple of our detailing arsenal is our industrial Fortador Lamborghini Steam Machine to ensure the best results when detailing your C8 Corvette. We have performed countless services and installations on the C8 Corvette platforms whether you own a Z06 or an LT2 - we've done it all. Owners continue to trust us with their C8s because of our attention to detail and persistence to achieve the best possible installation results.
Within the Paint Protection Film(PPF) services spectrum we offer Full CAR, Full Front, Track, Interior, and Carbon Fiber packages allowing us to cater to your Chevrolet C8 Corvette's specific needs. Due to the nature of C8 Corvette ownership including high speed driving, high rpms, and track days, our most popular package is the Full PPF installation. This package includes PPF installation on all of the exposed paint and carbon fiber on the vehicle. If you do not think the Full PPF Package is the right fit for your Chevrolet Corvette C8 our second most popular option is our Full Front PPF and Ceramic Pro Silver Package. This package includes a Paint Protection Film installation on the Hood, Front Bumper, Front Fenders, and Front Carbon Fiber with a Ceramic Pro Silver Package on the Doors, Rocker Panels, Rear Quarter Panels, Roof, Trunk, Wing, and Rear Bumper. The Ceramic Pro Silver process includes a full paint decontamination. Next our specialists begin our paint correction process. This involves analyzing the condition of the paint finish and selecting the right pads and compounds to remove swirl marks and light scratches. When the car is fully paint corrected then we begin the application of the Ceramic Pro 9H Coating followed by a Top Coat to seal the 9H. The result is an extremely hydrophobic coating that makes washing the vehicle a breeze. It also makes the paint look deeper with a wet finish. With Ceramic Coating, the necessity for wax in the future.
XPEL Paint Protection Film is a long term commitment, with proper maintenance and storage the lifespan can reach up to 10 years per XPEL's manufacturer warranty. XPEL requires a yearly maintenance visit to deep clean the PPF. During this visit we will also detail the interior of the vehicle and the wheels. Due to this long term commitment, we understand some owners do not plan to keep their C8 Corvette this long but still want some level of protection.
Ceramic Coating provides a thin layer of comprehensive protection from UV Rays, Acid Rain, Environmental Hazards, and Water Spots. Ceramic Pro 9H Coatings are referred to as glass shields for your paint due to it's nano-glass structure. Due to creating a smooth layer on your paint, Ceramic Pro coatings leave your paint with a deep, wet, and shiny look that makes your C8 Corvette look brand new. Although this option does not offer protection to the degree of PPF, it is a great option for those that want a short term ownership experience and do not plan on driving too hard or on the track. The Ceramic Pro Manufacturer Warranty also requires owners to visit a Ceramic Pro Certified Dealer and have a maintenance performed on their vehicle yearly to keep their warranty active.
If you are interested in changing the color of your C8 Corvette there are various options. For a car of this caliber we suggest to install Color Paint Protection Film. Color-Infused Paint Protection Films retain all of the beneficial properties of clear PPF, such as self-healing, hydrophobic, and sun-resistant, but also allow you to restyle your C8 Corvette at the same time. At First Class Autosports we only use the best quality Colored Paint Protection Films on the market to ensure maximum protection and color depth. These hybrid films are the future of color change for C8 Corvettes.
If you are not interested in completely changing your color but are interested in changing the finish of your C8 Corvette's OEM Paint there is the XPEL Stealth Paint Protection Film option. Through the film's satin finish, once applied it retains the same color of the vehicle but changes the finish from Gloss to Satin. A great example of this is the Black C8 Z06 below which received a Full Stealth PPF install over it's OEM Gloss Black paint.
