My build locks in a week and I'm having trouble deciding on color.
I currently have GT Silver spec'd. I was planning on doing partial XPEL Ultimate (front bumper, hood, front fenders, etc) and Modesta, cQuartz or similar. But I recently saw some pictures of XPEL stealth on other cars and it looked pretty good. I'm now thinking of going down that route. If I do, I think it would defeat the purpose of paying $2600 for GT Silver, and just go for basic white as I've always like matte white.
The cost of GT Silver + partial Xpel ultimate + Modesta is about equal to white + full Xpel stealth.
Is anyone familiar with XPEL Stealth? How does it look in person? How well does it hold up? And lastly, am I an idiot for considering doing matte on a GT4? Be honest...my feelings won't be hurt.
Here are a few picks on black (this is a Suntek product). Super cool. I was quoted $6500 (two different installers). Is that consistent with what you are being told?

I'm not sure I could spring for the $6500.
I didn't know Suntek has a matte version as well. From what I've read, most pay around $5000-$6000 for xpel stealth. I haven't received any quotes yet but figured I can find something in the lower end of the range if I tried hard enough.
I still have a hard time justifying it, but considering I would pay about $2500-3000 for a partial wrap plus modesta, this is only an extra $2500-3000 and I would have the entire car wrapped.

Pretty sure that's a Suntek product but I can double check.
I'm getting quotes for about $6k for a full wrap and an extra $500 for the matte film. I might be able to negotiate this down a bit but it's still more than I'm likely willing to pay...

Congrats on the new car! STEALTH has been a very popular option as of late. We've done quite a few Porsche's and GTR's in our STEALTH film here in San Antonio. If you want to check out how they look click: XPEL Motoroso
It holds up very well, its self-healing (meaning from swirl marks, fine scratches and more) and is warrantied for 10 years. Meaning if it turns yellow, peels, delaminates, stains, cracks, its covered for 10 years. So if you ever have any problems, were here on the forums, or our support team is always available.

Does the 10 year warranty also include labor costs to replace the film should any warranty work arise?
Thanks XPEL. One thing I care about is the consistency of the matte color throughout the car. Do you know how susceptible to discoloration or, for a lack of a better term, smearing of the color the Stealth product is?
As reference, here is a photo of a white GT3 from this summer at LRP. It looks like Xpel Stealth to me and the owner seems to be on RL as well (sticker). I don't know the owner, I just saw the car in the Porsche Corral. I might have more photos but I would have to check my archives.
I have Xpel Ultimate on my GT Silver as well as C-Quartz! Love it and very easy to clean
Brings up another topic...cquartz. I got cquartz a month ago on my wife's Macan. So far I'm not impressed. We've gotten scratches quite easily. For example, i lightly rubbed against the car when getting out of our other car in the garage, and noticed some fine scratches. Is this normal?
