That's a clean, sophisticated look.

The red though... ;)

Great job on the wrap! You've got some serious patience.

Merry Christmas!

It looks great, as Starter said, you have some serious patience! But it’s Christmas morning, time to unwrap it :D Just kidding but the Red looks great as well. Merry Christmas :cheers:

Im done for now but I have a few panels that I'm going to redo because I made a few mistakes but cant do that till spring. I'm also going to redo the roof in gloss black. It took me about a week to do on and off, not rushing.

The black top will look fantastic. I think you did a great job man, seriously.

What material did you go with? 3M?

Thanks, I used Avery Denison wrap. Easier to use in my opinion.

Patience and skill = amazing. Nothing but respect watching pros do wrap after my small experiences with it. But a home job that comes out this nice - just wow.

Yes but if you notice the roads are clear. Earlier I took it out in the snow and didnt do too well lol.

BRAN 02-17-2021 04:49 AM

I know exactly what you mean. I was "surprised" by early snow fall long time ago, barely made my way home and the last few meters, I (almost) had to give up with my summer tires, couldn't do the slightest climb...took me 30 mins for 50meters. It was rediculous, but lesson learned.
(slightest) Snow = Winter tires, or let it be.

Mine's wrapped in GREEN too, but a bit brighter shade. Close to Porsche Signal Green.

2002 S. Just bought it a few weeks ago. The previous owner had it wrapped. It's Arctic Silver underneath.

Nice, is that Viper green? I considered that. So many choices 🤔
