Default RUF Detail

Well it's been a while since I've put some meaningful $$$ into the RUF. Love her more with each passing day. So if she's going to be a keeper I figured it was time to get her as close to perfect as I could.

Best part is that she really hasn't required anything other than the annual fluid changes, but this month I wanted to get her cosmetically up to snuff.

Full paint correction by Bob Willis at Auto Concierge (40 hours of work!! it needed it after 16 years!), fresh paint on the bumpers, new clear bra up to the windshield, new Michelin tires, fresh oil and brake flush.

Now that's better! Hope everyone's well.

Kevin

I believe I saw your car at Cars and Caffeine at Club Auto Sport in Santa Clara earlier this year. A real beauty!

Amazing car, hands down one of the best 993s! Awesome in GR.

Curious what type of clear bra did you end up using?

Thanks guys. Yeah, I was pretty blown away by Bob's work. Car looks night and day different, which doesn't really come across in the pictures.

The clear was done by Johnson Chan who works closely with Bob. His work was equally impressive. All hand cut and meticulously applied. Johnson uses X-Pel Ultimate film. Can't even tell it's on the car unless you look really close and best of all I can drive it without worrying about rock chips.

Had a really bad clear bra on the car before and I just wasn't happy with it.
