Wow! Looks cool. I have a couple of questions- where are the seams, and are they very visible? And what about maintenance? Do you just wash as usual?

No seams. Each section is one piece. Hand wash, no pressure washing. Not much other than that.

Very interesting concept. Like the previous post I would like to see the "wear and tear" of it.

How durable is it to your common dings?

There again at $1700, even $2000 you are still ahead of the game if you need to get portions redone..

What are the differences between the Di noc and the 1080?

Man, that looks AWESOME! We are going to have to start a thread with pics of 928's that have been wrapped! I hope to be able to add two more to the list. The first one won't be a problem as the color is readily available, the second one will be much more difficult as we are having a tough time finding the color. In fact a year and we have not seen it yet... Waiting patiently!

PM me (or email) some nice close up pics of the door jambs, etc please!

I know these cars both used matte colors ... do other wrap colors offer the same kind of gloss as paint?

YES..Absolutely, in fact if you do a gloss it looks exactly like a fresh paint job.

Agreed. Pull up 3m colors on the web and you can see all that 3m has to offer. That's the brand I used. I'm sure there are other wrap brands out there. I just really liked the look of the matte finish. Feels cool too....and for the $2k cost, I may change it in a couple of years.
