Do you see much body colour when it is wrapped? Any close ups available?
It’s opaque. I had the installer use a mat finish Wrap that matched the color of the side scoops and the bottom of the mirrors. It evidently makes white cars look chalk though! 😊

It looks great, nice contrast to the lighter body colour,
I was thinking more along the lines, was it tough for the installer to ensure that the underlying body colour was completely covered by film. I looked at my car and they would have to trim bulk film to fit, seems like a lot of cutting on the car to get the film tight to the windshield, roof and side window seals.

Oh, I see. You are insightful! Yes, the installer said that he would have to waste a large piece of wrap if I insisted that it be all one piece. He said I could save a lot of money (couple hundred savings) if I could live with a center seam. I went with two pieces and have a center seam that no one would see unless I pointed it out. He also said that completely covering all the white was a PITA, but he did a good job. He also did my 981S about 6 years ago, and I never had any white edges show through on that one. So I guess the answer is that it’s not an easy job, but it’s doable by an experienced, patient installer. He only charged me $100 for the black trim, but maybe that was because I had him put Xpel on the whole rest of the car other than the rear bumper and trunk lid. If I only had the windshield surround done, I’m guessing it would have cost me a lot more than $100.
p.s.
Your car sure looks white in your avatar! Are you sure it’s chalk?

Beautiful. I recognize the locations of those photos at PECATL. Hope you had a great experience.
God bless,

We were originally supposed to do European Delivery, but Covid messed that up. But I can't imagine a better day than we had at PECATL. Truly a memorable experience that anyone buying a new Porsche should try to do.

Amen to that. I would do it again with my incoming GT4 but can't because of complications due to Covid.
Picked it up today, it was center stage on the showroom floor, despite having a GT3 and Taycan Turbo in for delivery too.
The car is a stunner in person.
I was hoping for Michelin's, but I'm sure the Dunlop's will be great.
