PL, That video just made me think . . . .

How much do you think it would cost to matte black a Boxster? Paint, wheels, bumpers, etc?

That would be unbelievable!:dance:

I looked into this last winter when I was having my Carrera 5 spokes refinished in BMW Shadow/gunmetal grey. Well technically it would have been a shimmery carbon fiber wrap like you see on this GT-R

It was going to be DIY as my buddy has some experience with that sort of thing. Time-consuming but easy on the 986 since it has very basic slab body panels. I think I calculated it would run about $1K. If you paid a pro to wrap it for you it would be at least $3K.

plasti-dip cars only look good from 10 feet away.
