I'd imagine the costs are market specific and also specific to the work required, but for my tear-off, paint correction, PPF replacement (everything but the rear lid/ducktail) and Xpel ceramic, it's 5500.

Just got the car back from it's PPF adventure. I am very pleased Had them install rear badging that wasn't present prior to the PPF work. Next up is installing the DSC controller and changing out the OEM air filters for oiled filters from FCP.

Looks really good - congrats.

But, and not to be a hater, they installed the PORSCHE script too high.

See the pic below for factory install of the script-only. I’m guessing your detail guy didn’t have the correct centering template and just assumed the location was same whether there was a second line of script or not.

I actually kinda like it a bit higher on his car, I think the main thing is getting the proper arc and having it be centered. Those 50th Aniv. wheels look great on that GTS.

Actually no. They're the titanium Akrapovic exhaust tips for the titanium Akrapovic exhaust I have on the car. I sprayed them with heat resistant paint which is failing. I will be having them powder coated in the near future.

Joe I had them mounted higher as I too like that look. Thanks for the props on the wheels.

I would use a coating like this for longer lasting finish on your tips.

It doesn't appear to come in a smooth, satin finish. I used paint that's rated for 1650 degrees -(that's from memory), but I did not use any primer which I think would have helped. However the powder coating should withstand the heat from what I understand and also provide a smooth, satin black finish.

Personally, I would look into Cerakote. Looks great, pick your finish and will withstand heat and environment.
