Good luckGet a sheet from Amazon or elsewhere, precut it yourself by using masking tape for templates. Some patience, spray bottle and a high quality set of silicone/non scratch squeegee. Will only cost you a fraction of what they charges you at the pro shop. Cheap enough that you can redo it every year if you wish?
Did this on my daily for the first time and it up well over the summer so far.
I will do this on my future C8 myself.
Take photos. Love to see how it works for you. I don't get the "masking tape for templates".Get a sheet from Amazon or elsewhere, precut it yourself by using masking tape for templates.

I contest! The ppl who sweep the road are not lazy. I have seen them with their water spraying truck cleaning the sidewalk while RAINING so many times!It depends on where you live , mileage you put on and how long you plan to keep it. I had it done , for 2000$ on the whole front end, including bumper, lights, front fenders, mirrors, windshield frame, and rocker panels. This is my dream car , so I plan on keeping it for a long time and I live in Quebec, where the roads are badly swept, by lazy people, who do not bother to do both sides, on some highways!!!
Put it in teen driver mode . Or “ valet “ mode .The shop that will do mine has super good reputation and when I met him he was very professionnal. I feel safe to leave my car there and get good results.

The problems are trucks…. They will spray rocks at you even if you stay a reasonable distance away. They will even shoot rocks sideways as you pass them….IMO ppf is essential if you do lots of highway driving.Naked , spend your money on something else … and don’t tailgate
I have 28,000 kms on my 22 C8 , I challenge anyone to find a single blemish on the front end of my car. I do lots of highway driving (50%) and I do not tailgate at all. If I see a rock sprayer transport I stay back, or pass them when safely able swiftly.The problems are trucks…. They will spray rocks at you even if you stay a reasonable distance away.

If you saw the front end of my Camaro with 200,000 KMS on it you'd ask me why I didn't have PPF. ShiRt happens. Can't be avoided. Insurance is always a waste of money until you need it.I have 28,000 kms on my 22 C8 , I challenge anyone to find a single blemish on the front end of my car.

So my personal opinion is, waste of money. Or at least the ridiculous prices people are charging for it is madness.
That car had 350,000 KMs on it. It was time to die!Your front end probably looked better than your roof...

If it works for you, that's all that matters.That's is the why I do my own if I can.
Not to say others are wrong to have it done from a shop.
My 2022 C8 Z51 HTC has been ceramic coated using the Adams product. He came to my house and did the entire car for $600.00. Every winter I apply their ceramic booster. I have had my car now for three years - not a mark on it. As well, easy to clean.This question goes out to all those who did NOT get PPF installed. What does your front bumper and hood look like? Installers and ppf installers gasp when you ask for just the bumper or just a full ceramic coat.
My car, my choice, but what is the real experience, that's what I would like to hear.
We use to do that to our Summer Students car on their last day of work until the Snowflake Generation showed up and complained my colleagues were being mean to them. I ran into one of them a couple of years ago. He said he was so traumatized he had to move back in with his mommy and has to sleep with a night light...
