996 - VERY nicely done!
I'm also a lover of RB, but I have to say that first picture of your car in it's original Polar hue is hard to surpass... Either way - its a win!
Enjoy!

John, since my car org. is Polar silver, I haven't warp under the hood and it sill look fine. I think removing bumper, door handles and mirrors are must for proper job. To paint some of the smaller and more angle parts will give the whole thing better finish. You may ask your installer to hide the seams at rain gutters. The only visible seams on my car is under A pillar which is just about 1.5" on each side. Rocker can be warp and I think it look better on yours with Aero kit. My installer told me Avery vinyl should last minimum 5 years if park the car outdoor all over the years. I drove about the same mileage as yours that should give it 10+ years of life.
Cheers,
John

The wrap is installed to perfection. The nice thing is that a full body clear bra to protect your factory paint is around $2k (side job price) so this is a pretty good deal since you get that same protection with the added benefit of having a complete color change without the imperfections of a repaint.

Looks amazing. How long does it last? How do you keep it from getting torn due to stone chips?

What color is the car in your avatar? I think I was on the edge of buying your SY 996 turbo?

Riv Blue
I went a different way to get to Riv Blue. I had the car professionally painted. They removed every piece of the car except the motor. The rugs, windows, doors, hood, tail area, all of it. They shot under the hood with the special Stage 1 which is factory. Sent it to the paint shop in June of 2011 and got it back November 2011. Car has around 32000 miles….MAM
