Nice Blue,
Did the shop give you some feeling as to its service life, meaning after which it will be hard to remove?

Enjoy, you made a great choice!

Thank you!

The future removal process was one of my main concerns, so this is why I narrowed my search between 3M and Avery as those 2 brands where the ones unanimously recommended by all the wrap places I spoke to. They said those are the easiest ones to work with, have the best quality, and are the easiest ones to remove. It is also important that my car has all original paint, as repainted panels might get damaged when the wrap is removed.
Since my car spends 95% of the time inside a garage, the wrap should last approx 7 years without any problems.

Impressed the door jams where I could see them on the pix, and the inside edges of engine compartment etc were done as well. Did they get into the front of door jams too? As an owner of a Mexico blue 981 spyder I love any of the blues!

Thanks! No, they cut the vinyl around the stickers. They lay a very small “string” around the sticker, and once the vinyl is applied they pull the string which cuts the vinyl as it comes off from underneath in the shape of the sticker

I absolutely love that color, well done! A full respray would’ve been all of $15k I’d imagine so this is a great option

That looks incredible and you got the color you wanted! Amazing the detail - only if every company took this kind of care in their work!

Excellent job and it looks fantastic. Perfect colour choice - well done on being brave. I have a silver car, so no wraps for me - dang!

One unrelated question - what spacers have you got on the front wheels please? Thanks!
