My comment under his video:

Takes an RS goes shopping for milk and comes back finding that "It's not for me." Who would have thought? And what's with those one-lane roads? I have got several 911s but i guarantee you i try to avoid roads like that like the plague as it's a pain in the *** to drive them with a sportscar, hell, even with a Caterham. So what's this all about? Found out everyone loves the 4RS and so a vid on the other side generates views? There is valid criticism of the 4RS but you touched none of it unfortunatelly.
Edit: Btw anyone noticed the hidden "GÜ" advertisement at 9:40?

Yep, and I listen to his podcast and he has called the gt4rs a "fizzer" even prior to driving it in this video. Dare say came into it quite close minded.

I could give a rat's **** what these guys say. They need to have views to monetize their YouTube channel. If there are multiple people raving about the car he gets more views (money )by having the contra view. I refuse to click on a link and contribute to his revenue stream. Just sayin'

STG videos are the absolute worst.

I have a hard time with his “enthusiasm”, in that I find it nauseating. I don’t think I’ve finished a full video of his.

I am really interested to see them next to each other. Judging from your picture and this one from a 4RS it seems they do not match. Which STEK Carbon PPF is your picture?


Found this picture of a STEK Carbon PPF installation on a GT4, seams pretty close right?

Cheap phone camera.

Will get another one once I have access to a car. I don't put too much credence in an internet photo taken under different conditions in order to do a compare. My sample looks better in actuality/reality than the pic I posted.

Yes, STEK is very close to OEM weave.

You really don't have any other "great" options if you want PPF.

If you want vinyl CF, options are endless. Vinyl is NOT PPF however and offers next to no protection.

Do you think they'll make the NACA ducts on the hood in CF?

Let's set up a group buy, I'm sure we can get 10+ people onboard.
