Hypersonic looks better than Seawolf, and Hypersonic doesn't have the upcharge from GM. Plus, Hypersonic looks good from the factory or with stealth PPF. Seawolf is a mistake and should be canceled after 1 year
Stay with the gloss, I’ve heard you can see the lines where the film stops worse. The expel makes it look wet, but stealth does show all those beautiful lines. I love the flake in the sea wolf, you will lose that with stealth.
Stealth does look good, but if I make the call, I would stay glossy. I think it would look better with your wheel selection. In the end, you do you Darren. I'm sure it will look awsome!
I’m not normally a fan of the stealth wraps, but (from first impressions) I really like it! I think I would better know if I could see the entire thing done and if I knew what other mods were on the horizon, but I think it definitely brings out the lines! *Edit - All of that said, I would leave it alone and not do the stealth wrap. I think I would get tired of it within a week.
I agree keeping Factory Paint with only “Clear PPF” is the way I roll. My decision to do PPF even was a leap of faith. Even doing a Wrap might be a stretch for me. I had a beautiful C3 1976 that had the Spider Web finish after so many years. I couldn’t find any of the good shops in the area willing to repaint the car, or they wanted $20,000 to repaint it. (All those terrible hours of the prep work I guess) A wrap may have saved parting with the car I had from 1980 until 2021. 33,000 miles and was “Bright Blue” a shade close to the ever popular Nassau Blue. I would never consider doing Stealth Bright Blue and cover up one of Corvette’s IMO Greatest Colors!
I like the black stealth wrap leaving the boomerang gloss and polished wheels myself. I'd have to see the finished car. Still that metallic grey is nice. If it doesn't grab you right away and you have to think about it's probably not the right choice.
I agree. Keep just the PPF. No stealth. I saw a picture of a c-8, it was stealth, with red accents where the black accents are. wish I could attach a picture here.
Gray is an achromatic color and looks better on the steps of an old building or an old military ship. You can give "gray" a cool name like "Sea Wolf Gray" but it won't make any difference. White looks great on a corvette. Got a white 427 60th anniversary with black wheels myself. Black looks great on a corvette too. Gray? I don't see it. It's all the rage these days with every car maker putting it on a car. In ten years we will look back and say, "Remember when we thought this gray color scheme was cool?". Putting frosty vinyl clear wrap over a crappy color won't make it appealing. Adding a cool name for it, "stealth", is even more ridiculous.
Do not do it. I have a Sea Wolf Gray C8 and its amazing in the sun. I get compliments everytime I take her out. I would never think to change anything about it. I chose the color for a reason. I love it!
Stealth 💯!!!! Unfortunately, if you look around so many cars are painted light gray now.. Sea wolf is beautiful, but it is not unique. Stealth wrap it and then when you won’t have to pull up to red light and look over at the Honda Civic with your same color STEALTH IT !!!!!
I’d say black wheels with the stealth or stay with the wheels and the original gloss paint. Sounds like you will be tracking the car or at least going to Ron Fellows. Do you get track day insurance? If so, who do you use for that?
I dont get it? so two different companies worked on this car like one did the detail and the other did the PPF that all in going to cost him 6500 bucks it will still get dirty stay glossy my friends
So we spend all our time and money on products to make our cars look as shiny and beautiful as we can and you spend more money to dull it. Just don’t touch my Torch Red C8
Thumb Smashed.... A Matted Stealth Wrap on Sea Wolf Gray Corvette - IMHO - a voice in the void - EPIC FAILURE !!!!!!!! But its your car - Enjoy your decision......
Stop all this funky wrap bs the paint jobs on the corvettes are excellent, stop all this dull finishing on beautiful cars, just my 2 cents, but each to their own, your car your money, you do you, l enjoy all your podcasts.😎
Please let Darren know what he should do!

It looks terrible !!! Why ruin a great paint job ? The car pops as is !!
Got the same stealth wrap on my 64 falcon. It was $36 for 3 cans of grey primer.
Hahaha
I prefer the gloss look.
Say no Darren that Sea Wolf looks to good to cover it up
My head is spinning on what to do I have to let them know by Tuesday. I’m loosing sleep over this…
Stay with the gloss, I’ve heard you can see the lines where the film stops worse. The expel makes it look wet, but stealth does show all those beautiful lines. I love the flake in the sea wolf, you will lose that with stealth.
No one beats Kody… that’s being said. Gloss looks BETTER!
I agree
N0 for me but if he likes it, I love it. I am old school and likes my paint with a high gloss appearance. I also like bright wheels.
I guess I'm too old to understand. Why in the world would you make your beautiful Corvette look dull and muted. To each his own. NOT FOR ME!
makin it look like its in primer
I agree with you 💯
Not to old. Makes it look unfinished.
Stealth does look good, but if I make the call, I would stay glossy. I think it would look better with your wheel selection. In the end, you do you Darren. I'm sure it will look awsome!
Thanks for the vote of confidence, I’m truly torn, have to decide asap.
Stealth. plus when they ceramic coat the car it gives it's some gloss. I have a white C8 stealth PPF and people love it at car shows
Sorry - No way - NO STEALTH WRAP DUDE - Love the Glossy look - Stealth are for trucks, not super cars

I like the mean Stealth wrap look but the Seawolf does look amazing gloss.

I don’t like the stealth; prefer the glossy.

It’s a no for me but if you like it, I love it!
Absolutely NOT. Do you really want the grey to look like PRIMER? Stealh wrap on any car takes the luster away immediately.
Mike that stealth PPF looks pretty amazing!! Darn has a tuff call on that one!! Mike Keep up the fantastic vlogs sir!!👍🏽

Why would you pay extra for a paint color and then have it wrapped? Leave it alone!!
Anything fighter jet cool and with all grays on other brands this would be cool
Do not do it. I have a Sea Wolf Gray C8 and its amazing in the sun. I get compliments everytime I take her out. I would never think to change anything about it. I chose the color for a reason. I love it!
Stealth 💯!!!!
Unfortunately, if you look around so many cars are painted light gray now..
Sea wolf is beautiful, but it is not unique. Stealth wrap it and then when you won’t have to pull up to red light and look over at the Honda Civic with your same color
STEALTH IT !!!!!
Opinion noted, but I know you are partial to Stealth :)
I’d say black wheels with the stealth or stay with the wheels and the original gloss paint. Sounds like you will be tracking the car or at least going to Ron Fellows. Do you get track day insurance? If so, who do you use for that?
Keep the Sea wolf grey! hes going to lose the Metal flake that pops. But his car, will look good either way but the gloss is better im my opinion.
Thanks for the confidence.
Stealth will not hide the flake..
@@2020matrix8 But will it pop as much, Or will it just be barely showing?
I used to work with Cody but I would say stealth but I’m hoping he goes with his original lol
Two stripes down the center in stealth .....Done !!!
I’ve also thought about this option. Decisions, Decisions…..
I say no, the original looks awesome!
Still looks like Primer!
No way Jose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a gloss guy all the way, that & I'm jealous of Darren. Lol, that's a pretty car fr.
Dude that is a beautiful color why would want to make it dull just saying!!
I like the original color.
I dont get it? so two different companies worked on this car like one did the detail and the other did the PPF that all in going to cost him 6500 bucks it will still get dirty stay glossy my friends
I am a fan and I wrap C8 in a satin black and I love minds but that looks good on that Sea Wolf gray
Stealthy is wealthy. Yes, whole body frosted.
I like the stealth better.
It will look like an F-35. Hell yes!
Hey Darren so you want to put a fur coat on a supermodel?
Haha, one way to look at it:)
Did I miss the windshield protection film? I’m getting this done next week to my Z06 and wanted to see that.
Next video will show the XO shield And install process.
So we spend all our time and money on products to make our cars look as shiny and beautiful as we can and you spend more money to dull it. Just don’t touch my Torch Red C8
Oh hell no, looks like my driveway.
would love to see stealth on a cybertruck
Looks cool as HELL, wrap the whole car like that!!! 🤤
Leave the car’s natural color alone. It is beautiful the way it was born.
Hey BOS. Driving the family car, eh?
Do entire car. You can always remove it later if you get tired of it
Thumb Smashed.... A Matted Stealth Wrap on Sea Wolf Gray Corvette - IMHO - a voice in the void - EPIC FAILURE !!!!!!!! But its your car - Enjoy your decision......
I say go for it. It looks great.
Sorry I'm a gloss guy so that's my vote.
I don’t like the gray anyway but I definitely don’t like it with the stealth wrap that destroys the look of the car
I like the Stealth, different and "stealthy" go for it....
Kody does amazing work.
Agree 💯 they are professionals at their craft.
I’m a “No” on the stealth PPF Darren.
One of the shots of Darren’s car showed it with the Machine Face Spider Wheels. I know he got afterwards wheels. Are those Machine Face ones for sale?
That was a different car also in for ppf, look again it has yellow calipers. The color is hypersonic grey on that one.
If money is not problem. Do it…roll with it and then remove it later to “reinvent” back to stock.
No stealth wrap, looks better without.
How much for a full body ppf and ceramic on c8?
Very nice HIT!
It's hard to tell about the wrap on vid3o
Stop all this funky wrap bs the paint jobs on the corvettes are excellent, stop all this dull finishing on beautiful cars, just my 2 cents, but each to their own, your car your money, you do you, l enjoy all your podcasts.😎
Gloss!
Love the Bandido shirt!! I have that one too.
Jose gives them out like candy from his Van…. :)
@@nrdemon1031 🤣
Looks good but think long term you will get tired of it
That’s where my head is at, long term do I want this.
I think if he loves it, yes but if he really loves his paint that he chose no!
HEY Brink how many days does it takes him to do a C8 PPF
I think stealth is just a fad. Leave that sweet ride alone.
NO stealth.... gloss mo better!
Don't do it. The Sea Wolf Grey is worth seeing as intended. Stealthing it is not wise
Gloss
I like the gloss better.
Please don’t put that DULL finish on that beautiful car
Stealth, no stealth or partial, man great looking car❤
Interesting look...
Not a fan of that dull look. Keep it glossy my opinion. But it's up to you
GLOSS !!!!!!!!
Keep it the way it is Bro
You've just added confusion, to the confusion.
Why change a beautiful color!
Clear PPF all the way! Show off the Sea Wolf Gray!
Stealth would look bad ass with those brushed aluminum wheels. GO ALL STEALTH.
Stay with the gloss!!! Stealth is too flat for a car that is supposed to be flashy. The stealth is NOT equal to the flash of a Z06.
no stealth!!!!! Shiny!!!!!! stealth does look pretty good though!
Looks awesome, do the whole car
No Stealth wrap. Clear wrap is the way to go. That glossy battleship grey is absolutely beautiful. Clear wrap for the paint chip protection.
There is nobody better than Kody!
Yes he runs a great shop, all you need to do is look around at the OVD level cleanliness and organization. 5 stars for him and his team.
Gloss
What are these guys jobs? How do they have this much money?
Very nice🎉
Its ok … not a fan of covering such a beautiful paint work especially with this amazing new color …. Not for me ….
If I spent 140k for a new car & if it wasn't super shiny I'd want my money back.
Have to go stealth all the way!!!!
Stealh is not in my wheel house. It would be a no for me.
Go with the stealth
Gloss!!!!
No no no! I have a Sea Wolf Grey Z06 and I think you would be taking away from the metal flake and in my opinion it looks silver! Just my opinion
FIGHTER JET for sure 👍
Do it!! It's a HIT.
NOOOOOO!!!!
