Looks badass. I have a really dumb set of questions:
- What's the material that's used for wraps & effects like that?
- Where do you find installers and shop for design options?
- Is it permanent or removable?

Sorry - I'm a novice to these effects.

I used the company that usually does the 3m for our local dealership. They did an awesome job just wrapping the hood (matte grey that looks like teflon) overtop of the 3m so it is still protected. It is removable and they had samples of at least 20 other colors both matte and glossy.

http://www.thompsongraphics.com here is there link if you wanted to contact them to get the actual brand.

Just Jordan - I may copy you if you do not mind. I love how simple just doing the hood can change the whole car. I would like to add the wing but that is a POA to wrap and to do it as perfect as I would want it to be.

So, I have Xpel on the hood and you just wrap over that?

I like it. I would consider also doing the roof panel and top of the wing. Might do the Porsche letters in reverse (white) on the wing.

Super easy to clean, its just like teflon. I imagine it would show bigger rock chips but i can live with that. Jimmy Copy away! And I'll try and post a pic of the corners as that is the hardest part to wrap with 3m underneath. Thompson did an amazing job trimming it so the matte wrap could wrap around evenly.

As for waxing, i don't see why you would have to with the matte finish. Don't think it would bother it either though.
