The curves on the 944 are pretty simple. Still will need heat to get it to lay right. V2Rocket where are you? I don't think you're close enough to help you install, but if you're interested in splitting the material send me a message.

Mine would be darker, like the pictures earlier in the post.

I did that almost a year ago when I was first contemplating getting it sprayed flat black. It isn't as dark as it should be, but since my car is silver it kept the lines and reflections pretty well through the editing. I don't have the PS file anymore.

I'm way out in San Diego but I might be interested if it was simple enough to do and if the shapes of the sheet were good enough to do pretty easily onto the bodywork...

alex, i dont think that would work out so well, as the shinyness of the wheels conflicts with the flat paint...maybe a darker flat black.

yeah, I'm not going to bother with it, I was just messing around to get an idea of how it would look on the 944 body.

like I said, that was like a year ago, i was just putting it in here for others' reference.

I like this satin black paint from the 930 forum.

Wow I was thinking of doing this to my cayenne I have a friend locally that would do the whole suv for 1200. I was just wanting to change the color for area red to lapis blue.
