Installed some MagnaGrafik carbon fibre look Stone Guards to change the look a bit. Already had the rear panels done in Xpel, so these replace the Porsche clear guards.
I bought my 991 an Xpel ppf, in Stealth. Turns out the wrap, while good at protecting the paint from the ravages of urban foxes, was less than useless at protecting against stone chips and so ended up more full of holes than the case for Britain leaving the European Union (sorry). So I ditched it and went for paint protection, with a slight difference. For those who don't know, Xpel Stealth is like the regular Xpel Ultimate, but with a matte finish. It looks pretty cool on metallic paint imo, as one can still see all the flecks in and depth to the colour.
Here' are a couple of arty shots from the place that did it

Nice GTS and a very unique look. Any special cleaning required for Matt? I have Xpel on my GTS and so far just used the Griot's Speed Shine.
By the way, I am a British expat living in the US, so nice to see some British street shots :-)

No special cleaning - just soap and water. I use a quick detail spray and sometimes a left over can of 'bike shine' if I can't be bothered to clean it properly. The only problem it it attracts dust like nobody's business and shows up every spec. Takes 3 minutes to dust it off though, and I believe there are some anti-static sprays available...
Only slight caveat at the moment is that it doesn't appear to be 'self-healing' as the marketing suggests. I have a few little chip marks which have not gone away. My installer says this isn't normal and has sent the pictures to Xpel, who agree. Taking the car in this Friday and leaving it with them for investigation.
New to me CF Airdam and Matte Guards Red Carrera stickers.
New
Very...very nice. Where did you get the Matte Carrera stickers? Very nice in red.
Me??? Just got my car back after a "run-in" while in Vegas last month where an inattentive driver backed into me. So..replaced my OEM 991 bumper and sport spoiler with a new Sports Design one w/Rennline Grilles in black installed. Very pleased with the results!
Thanks Mdrobc, I got the lead on the decals from another member here. Here is a link to the seller in the UK. Very responsive and will work with you on custom designs/looks, as in my case.
