I considered DIY, but ended up having a buddies shop who recently started wrapping do the job. I'm glad I did, there's definitely some tedious steps to do it well. But I'm happy with the results.

I bought the wrap for $600 or so, and then paid the shop around $2k for the install. But they also were doing suspension work and some other stuff. So might of saved some cash on doing everything at once.




Guy who did the wrap said he wanted to try the round headlight look and I told him I was fine to let him try. Just have to peel off if I didn't like it.



Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Got the seat backs, center console, and calipers painted. (calipers will match the Protomotive Y-Pipe in Acid Green)


Decals still to be added to calipers

Oil change, alignment, tire balance, new tires on the rear. Then put it up on the lift for a while.

Touched up a chip on the hood, debated whether or not I am going to put it on the road this year.

Had this Incredible Widebody 996 come in for a full Performance system. The look and sound of it will leave you speechless.

It appears to have lost some scoops...

It looks like the leading edge of the rear quarter panel is a giant scoop.

It makes it look like two cars were connected at the back of the door. Like a Turbo was spliced to a 996 narrow body.

From that rear 3/4 angle, I agree it does look like that. I'd like to see more pics. I wonder if the front fenders and track are widened. IMO, widening the rear alone on a WB porsche is a terrible idea. What they really lack is front track width. It's one thing the Gunther does right and that is really appealing.

No, business has taken a pretty good hit due to life as we now know it, so because the ICs are buggered (and were not budgeted for this year...), and I am going to be waiting on turbos until maybe September, it seems like a wasted season.

Damn virus.
