thanks bro! i know it's not everyones thing here on the porsche forum... some even said "raise the car" or "those wheels and tire sizes should be on a honda" but i guess thats what you get when you put a 20 year old with a porsche lol....
the rears are 235/40/18.. love the 20's on your 986!

Paint chips if down to bare metal

or the primer will still show through. The films are pretty thin and will cover up swirls marks and narrow scratches without issue but a paint chip about 1/8" wide or larger will show as an indentation.

What tail lights are those? They look like smoked LED Depo lights, but they look lighter than the pics on EBay. If that's how they really look I'm sold on those for my car.

Actually, the wrap is much more better in person than plastidip..the wrap is smooth without seams or wrinkles.
Pictures don't do justice..and plus, the wrap only cost me $75
