    Protection of the leather on the dashboard for the C7 and C8 Corvettes is very important. There is a lot of information out there showing how the leather will "shrink" and pull away from the dash which ends up being a costly repair. This is an easy way to fix it! 👍👍

      This isnt a fix, this is showing a way to help prevent.

    Looks great. I’ve had all of my Z06s done like that. But here in Fla where I live much less expensive.

    This is a great option. I had 80% ceramic installed on the inside and it really helped with heat too!

      Definitely! Anything to keep the UV rays off that leather!

    Agreed about blackout. I have had good and bad installs. It matters who you use. Definitely need a good installer like Blackout.

    @thundrune1554 2 года назад +1

    The installer is much more important than the specific brand of the ceramic film. That said this stuff REALLY works. I have it on my 19 GS. You can touch the dash after it’s been in the sun in a parking lot all day and the dash temp is nearly ambient. Save the dash and keeps the car much cooler inside.

    Love your videos.
    One concern about the windshield tint. Where does all of the soapy water go as they are applying the film?Seems that it would have no where to go except behind the dash.
    I’m excited about the exterior film.
    In the rare case that i would need to use the wipers, will it mark the film?
    Keep up the great work.
    Always bet on black!!!

    • @HorsePowerObsessed
      @HorsePowerObsessed  2 года назад +2

      While installing the tint they use towels and a special microfiber rope to absorb the water as it’s being pushed out.

    • @Shad0wC0mpany2
      @Shad0wC0mpany2 2 года назад +1

      Some installers go beyond using just microfiber ropes and towels lining the dashboard. Some will also locate any electronics under the dash that are exposed and susceptible to water damage and then they will cover those parts with microfiber towels.

    Enjoy your video contents. As far as your stickers you apply them to the plastic seal stuff the sell at office supply stores like Staples.Apply the face of the stickers to the adhesive side, trim excess and then just apply them in correct area. I do this in my Caddy whenever the stickers need to be placed and replaced. Thinking about doing my '19 Grand Sport at Black Out Tinting with Josh even though I live in Brooklyn, NY.

    • @HorsePowerObsessed
      @HorsePowerObsessed  2 года назад +1

      I appreciate it, my friend. I would highly recommend doing exactly that. Even though it's a bit of a trip, it's worth it in the end. Don't find out which detail shops you can trust the hard way like I did. Go to the one that you CAN trust and never look back. If you come to Blackout, tell them HorsePower Obsessed sent ya! I'm there pretty often so maybe we can meet up when you drop it off.

    I've looked and looked into windshield protection, and everything I've read talks about permanent scratches and buff marks from wipers. They say it has to be replaced every so often. Sounds like it has to be replaced almost every year or maybe a bit more. Didn't you encounter scratches from your wipers, or maybe you don't use your wipers? I'd love something on my windshield, but I don't want to have to replace it every year or so.

    • @HorsePowerObsessed
      @HorsePowerObsessed  2 года назад +2

      The wipers will scratch it eventually and it totally depends on how often the car is driven and whether or not it is garage kept. I had ceramic coating put on top of it to make sure that the windshield wipers hardly ever have to be used for this exact reason.

      @@HorsePowerObsessed Yes, that was my concern. I've always used something on my windshield and rarely use wiper except in slow going stop n go traffic. I may still have to go this route. You know our windshields (I have C7) get hit all the time with rocks. All the time!!

    • @cassiespencer6134
      @cassiespencer6134 2 года назад

      Tints that don't contain metallic particles typically do not adversely affect radar detection. However, metallic window tint can. As far as laser detection it can be affected by tinting depending on the visible light transmission level of the tint since it can reduce the intensity of the laser beam.

    Dear
    followers!! Don't let the beautiful pictures confuse you . Anyone who
    buys a new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into
    the trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service,
    the company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a
    malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help
    will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep
    your money safe.!!!Share so more people don't get screwed.GM is a big bluf
