Here are a few final pictures. I need to find a Vinyl friendly ceramic for the wrap that isn't covered by xpel. It will add a little shine and match up better with the xpel covered parts. Went to Stuttgart gathering at the Porsche dealer. Folks liked it a lot, got a lot of nice comments

Yup and tomorrow you'll want something else . That's the nice thing about it taking a least a month to get an appointment. It gives you about three weeks to look at color samples and search the internet for examples. I thought for sure I was going with Matte Blue, then I changed my mind 3 more times. After my three weeks were up and it was time for them to order the Vinyl, I had finally truly decided on a color. Enjoy those three weeks, you'll likely find the right color and texture.
Then you have to decide how much PPF you'll want to do. I would recommend at minimum the front bumper and side mirrors. PPF starts getting expensive pretty fast.

From what I've seen and owned, i like Suntek Ultra PPF best. Looking at my new Black 991.2, the PPF wrapped sections look just like the unwrapped sections. The surface is harder, glossier and has lower surface tension than the Expel PPF I had on my 2015 991.1 I'm lovin it.

What happens if you already have PPF on your car and want to do a wrap? I expect the wrap can go over the PPF, but I wonder if the PPF will also have to come off when the wrap is removed at some point?
