Okay the 3M treatment and you want this just to protect against stone chips, etc?

Awesome. And you didn't find the 'drone' that has been reported annoying? I don't think I'd mind it, I opened up the connecting pipe on my Cayman S to make it louder and loved it.

I just removed the 3m pieces of my last also white car and I will re-wrap in the latest 3m I think.

No drone at all, but depends on brand, I have M&M.
I wrapped my '10RS TRAKCAR 3.0 in a double layer of flat white vinyl before i even took delivery. It discolored badly after a year, see pictures below. It did protect the pain very well and I replaced it with 3m clear bra that protects the car even better, but also yellows when you use it on the track, specially the very hot area"s. the Next RS I wrapped in XPEL, it's self healing and yellows less I think.

Alan travels over the U.S. wrapping for various Porsche Regions and is highly experienced and meticulous.
I was very impressed with the care and time he took to do it. The XPEL he puts on carries a 10 year warranty against yellowing, hazing, cracking, peeling, and staining and certain road hazards. He told me all the materials he uses, including 3M, have improved greatly over the last few years. If you have any interest, he is located in Orlando and his Cell # is 407-767-0966.

Alan Seligman <www.invincaman.com> Wrapped my Red 991 C2S with XPEL Ultimate a few months ago.

thanks for the contact... I'll put it in my phone. however, I'm thinking I want this wrapped before I start driving it around europe for a few weeks after delivery.. so it will have to be a local Leipzig shop. I also would like some graphics... I'm thinking Martini livery while I'm paying for the wrap anyway.. does the XPEL material lend itself to color, or is it like a clear-bra?
XPEL is warranted for 10 Years. Martini Livery would be AWESOME on the GT-3.
Great Idea!

bingo! except I would try to wrap the actual car in red wrap (on top of the red paint) with the stripes.
wheels will be more of a flat black as plastidip doesn't turn out shiny

This is too silly.
First of all, I think we’re all interchanging DD with weekend and occasional street use. I don’t think a GT3 makes for a great daily, for valid reasons Mike pointed out. However, for pure pleasure driving during off days and weekends, and holidays, and Mother’s Day, that’s where the GT3 hits its sweet spot. Really, when you think about it, it’s the same with a F430 or 458—not meant to be dailies, and yet not many end up on a track, either.
Tell your sales guy to go and take Sales 101 at the local Community College, find another dealer, buy yourself a GT3, and drive it whenever and wherever you like. And don’t forget to smile while doing so.

I just got my deposit in to my premier dealer for the GT3. I plan to drive it as much as possible several times per week wherever like the Vette. Confident in my choice especially with front lift
