Thank you for posting the pictures. It looks much better in person, I could not tell if it was paint or film and I have been detailing cars for more than 10 years. I think it looks amazing, love the last picture on the GT3. IMHO this is a much better option than frozen paint.

By the way, beautiful work!

Yes, the film itself is a 8.5 mil thick clear bra, and the STEALTH has a satin-finish top coat. Both of our films: ULTIMATE and STEALTH, self-heal swirl marks and fine scratches. Plus unlike "Frozen" paint, you can take STEALTH through a car wash and clean it normally. As with Frozen paint you have to be extremely careful on how you take care of the finish.

One of our installers (Auto Armour) wrapped this GT3RS recently with XPEL STEALTH and it turned out phenomenal

Post the results of your rockers either here or here:

As per request. This is Suntek clear film on rocker panel and fender guard. As you can see no issues and you cannot even tell that is there. Very happy with the results thanks to a great installer AutoSuperShield in Boca Raton, Florida.

Thanks and nice!

Did they do one piece for rocker and quarter?

My guy told me he did it on another 991 and it didn't look right at the textured paint smooth paint transition.

The kit is all one piece. The rocker also covers the inside of the first level door jam. Since my car is white you cannot tell the transition at all. I am more than happy with the whole job.
