Arrow 2016 GT3 has arrived...

Got the call this morning...had to go take a look!! Still needs prep and once-over, but should be ready Tuesday.

I need your assistance Rennlist users: what is the best clear bra material to install? I have heard a lot of conflicting reports, and want to put the best on the beast. And what do you all recommend that is wrapped other than the entire front end?

They will be putting clear corners on and check on one item that was different than the build sheet...but other than that I am very happy with the "basic" setup we did for the build. So pumped

Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know what you think

Congrats. I just picked up my '16 GT3 yesterday - almost identical to yours, but I went for PCCB.
I wrapped the whole front end in XPEL clear bra, stuff is amazing and would recommend the same.
Enjoy your car

Just picked up my car this morning from its XPel Ultimate install. I think it looks pretty good, though the rock chips accumulated in 3100 Euro Delivery miles have been memorialized underneath the film. This is entire front end, a pillars, rockers, front of roof, and headlights.

Thank you sir! I am sure the PCCB's look great on Agate...

How much did it cost you to do the entire front end? Include a-pillars and headlights? Please post some pics if you have any

Amazing looking ride! The Euro delivery is a once-in-a-lifetime thing so that is awesome you were able to do that.

What did the "Ultimate" XPEL install cost you? Did you do any of the rear end? And where does it start/stop on the rockers? Thanks for any info and congrats again on your beaut

I paid $1750 for bumper, hood, fenders and mirrors @ Circle Imports in Long Beach. Didn't do the lights or A-Pillars, but might still do that.

Pic from this morning's run along CA-74 aka Ortega Highway. 90 degrees in SoCal today.

WOW!!!!! That is beautiful...I have a place in Indian Wells and drive the 74 to SD at least a couple times a year...what a treat that must have been!!??

Thanks for the info and pic...can't wait to get my two-tone paint job eliminated and actually feel the seats haha. CONGRATS!

Thanks - it was a lot of fun and I went early enough for it not to be too busy. Enjoy yours when you get to eventually drive it!

Congrats. Mine arrived at dealers a couple weeks ago and getting shipped to me as we speak. Still waiting for my first drive. Just curious how many miles were on your odometers?

There are 8 miles as it sits now...prep is being done tomorrow so should be less than 30 miles when I drive it off the lot!!

I was able to do a private tour of the museum and drive for 3 days through Germany, Austria and Switzerland in a 991 C2S, and rode in the museum Club Coupe for about 300 miles over 2 days...but that is on my bucket list to have a Euro-delivery and drive the car where and how it is meant to be!! Here is a pic of the Club Coupe gathering of 8 CC's 2 years ago (I was able to tag along); my Dad went about 6 months earlier and had a "euro" delivery but did not drive (nobody could; only 10 iirc out of the 13 were built).

How long were you there and where were you able to drive? That sounds like the most amazing trip: fly to Germany and drive your GT3 as it was meant to be and where it started.

Why thank you...slightly biased? No matter, it appears your taste is top-shelf
