Looks great, a good wrap looks flawless in person. I'm planning to do mine in midnight or dark blue metallic with similar black highlights.

Never mind,,,, just noticed the picture from the rear.... Looks really good ...
I'm actually thinking of upgrading to a 996X50 style carbon fiber upper wing just to give it a little more presence. That may happen next month.

Give wrapping DIY a second thought.

Nice job! I tried this a few years ago and it sucks! Especially once you start to think about seams, and why you need them.

Great wrap! Also really like the accents that were left, very well done.

I too have looked into maybe doing a mexico blue or something, but having a car a little low key helps with me not paying the state any extra funding to use the roads.

Each one of these below cars are a wrap...including the Audi. Talking about "low key....." "Officer, there's no way I was doing 160...look at this thing!!!"
Not my cup of tea, but would definitely be a one of a kind 997TT..

Not sure I've ever parked in the "hood," but if I did, I believe the below example would be the wrap to have...or as I would title it "When Wraps go Bad. " However, unlike paint... its not a big deal to revise this wrap for another option...

Default Update!

I decided to add a certain RETRO touch to her...







After some 2 months the only issue that I've had is that the wrap has lifted slightly just below the right side of the rear wing. I got this looked after this morning...hats off to the guys at Maxpo here in Calgary!

Hey OP- Is that a kit-cut job, or did the installers custom cut the film? If the latter, I couldn't help but wonder about all the opportunities to cut the paint as they cut the film. Those door handles really got me wondering...

Domer911, it's a custom cut job by Paul at Maxpoprotect.ca here in Calgary. The door handle wrapping was totally his doing. I was quite impressed....I like it!

What are you thinking??

Looks great .... think about doing the side skirts .... Its difficult with the uneven surface - but it makes the car IMHO...

Handles look cool !!!
