Added a carbon fiber engine cover and added metal accents to the right side
Such a common thing at Homestead. And like you said, especially behind bigger gummier tires. I got a windshield protector after going through 3 expensive windshield replacements. I’ve had the windshield condom on over a year and probably time to change it again. Regardless, great thing to have since you’re driving Homestead often and getting faster. You’ll be following closer and it’s nice to know your protectedWe chased a GT3 RS. Witnessed the active aero very close
Lesson learned:
That car spits out pebbles at you. One cracked our windshield.

Something like thisWhat protector?
yes. This is the one I was recommended. My windshield ended up with a 10 inch linear crack on the drivers side and has 20+ small chips on it. So after replacement I will go straight into windshield condom and PPF for the front. (Which - shame on me- I hadn’t done)Something like this

Can’t remember the one I have. They tested it on my vehicle and the price was right = free. So far I’m McLovinit!

~ the heat rejection most likely comes from the 50% ceramic tint on the inside of the front window. i truly don’t believe the clearplex provides any heat rejection.Solid - how's the heat rejection (if any?)
I had clearplex and after a year and a half I had it removed. It was great at first, but over time it got more and more annoying to see through, especially at night. There were micro scratches from using the wipers that were unable to be buffed out.~ I have clearplex on mine. It’s worked out very well for me.

Is it not self healing? A quick hit with a heat gun to sort out the wiper marks?I had clearplex and after a year and a half I had it removed.

~ i’ve had zero issues… but i don’t drive the car in the rain or snow… so i don’t use the wipers. it’s been on for 3 years without a hiccup.I had clearplex and after a year and a half I had it removed.

Same for mine but I was told from the start I’d need to replace it annually if tracking often. But it served its purpose. No mo broken windshields. I was also told not to use the wiper blades and get some kind of RainX. I did that for a little bit & finally said fcuk it & use the blades. Like Andrew, I don’t drive it full time so it’s been better than expected (thanks to their low expectations lecture from the get goI had clearplex and after a year and a half I had it removed.
