James,
My guess is this is a great paint protector, but are there other concenrns? How about removal in 4-7 years?

Very, very nice, James! I don't know if it matches the original--nor would I care--that is a classy looking color/car that really represents the 928 well!

Seems like I recall you were going to have Rob Budd make you a set of floor mats--I'm guessing those are it? Can he now make them in any color or is that a standard Lloyd color??

Hey 928cs, I'll be in Le Mans Fr June 21-23 visiting my cousin and I have 136. I'm in the middle of a TB/WP and a very thorough cleaning.
Glad to know 136 is in good shape.

Send me a PM if you need any advice for your stay in Le Mans.
The race is always fun!

I actually saw a green GTS this morning on my way to work. Tried to stop him but he was going to fast. This was the first GTS I have ever seen in person. Kind of like spotting Bigfoot or a UFO. It was near the train station in Middletown, NJ.

I think it's in New Zealand.

Thanks guys for all the kudos. They are most appreciated.

This stuff protects your paint just like a clear bra does only this one is colored! In however many years I'll be able to take it off and reveal nearly brand new black paint (as that is what it went on!)

MUCH easier to re-wrap front bumper than repaint Tom! WAY EASIER!

Wait till you see the last few things Ben is going to PC for me!!! YEE HA! Some will already know what they are and can probably guess the color they will be too.

Bruce, yes, Bob Budd can do just about any color you can think of out there. In my case it was completely custom as no one had ever done a set of 928 mats in this color before and it is not a "standard" color. Not sure how he made that happen but he did... Also, yes to other interior parts from either Bob or Paul. We will see who can get to them first. My guess is Bob will. Seats, center rear console, center front arm rest shift lever, steering wheel and door inserts!!! They will be in crazy lime green and purple...some kind of crazy combination of those two.

More pics to come soon!

I just wanted to add that for a NW place to get this done is Speedware in Redmond Wa. They had a car apart and doig a wrap. I was surprised what they would do for $3,000.
