[QUOTE=omar0022;17156428]I have the same pictures!!

When it was done, did the GTS4.0 logo get peeled off or did they put the PPF over the decals? I ask because Xpel said that putting it over the decals could leave some bubbles since it is not surface/smooth and I'd have to get new decals to paste over the PPF.

I deleted that option at factory, but I have a good friend that order her GTS with the logo on the doors and she got PPF over the decals. They mention that same concern when she dropped it off. She decided to have them try doing the PPF on top and it turned out just fine.

Much thanks. I may try the same and if it doesn't work, have them just peel them off. You can barely read black on blue anyway.

My detailer suggested a change, He matched the colour to the rims. I'll give it a month or 2 to see if I like it...I kind of liked the subtleness of the black but like how this looks once I saw it in person

I like that! I’m not one for any type of badging, but that looks really good!

Is that a new decal? If so did he make it or order it?

The car looks amazing, maybe one summer I’ll pop over to the island and meet the rennlist crew!

I like it, subtle but definitely visible, I would say just right!

Fingers crossed for some safe gathering, VIRPCA's 25th this year, with some planning and luck we will be able to meet up!

Sir, are you done the PPF at Porsche Victoria. When I order my GT4, they keep tell me they have a guy who are very professional to warp the PPF. If so, can you please tell me how you feel about the quality.
Thank you so much.

Thanks Mate! I believe he made it on his printer on the fly (he literally texted me at 8pm the other night saying he had an idea and would let me see the next morning and here it was). He does all sorts of graphic wraps so something like this colour matched to the rims would be pretty straightforward

I think it looks great. I’ve seen the black decal in person on this colour and it is hard to see (which is good or bad depending on your viewpoint).
