The paint is very soft and with the wide tires kicking up rocks down side of the car it needs maximum film protection.

From what we have seen we recommend the following protection:
Full hood, full fenders, mirrors, lights, air vents, bumper and entire rockers with custom pieces above the rockers. Depending on whether you are going to be tracking the car or taking it to car shows we can recommend the perfect film for your needs.
Interesting. I thought automotive paints were getting harder and more scratch resistant, with a move towards being ceramic based. Why would GM go with a softer paint? Because of brittleness of the harder paints on these "plastic" bodied Corvettes?
