Did it have a Georgia tag? If so, what county?

This is the first time I've seen that Turbo.

Any idea what a vinyl wrap like that costs? I have a silver car and sort of crave some color.

Depends if you do it, or have a pro do it. Its a couple hundred in materials, and depending on lnstaller could be $2k of labor or maybe more.

Me too. I've been sort of thinking about making them black but not sure what's the best way.

I think HIX car came out pretty nice. Wraps are pretty popular here in Chicago.

Hey, do you Atlanta 996TT'ers ever meet up? I'd like to see and hear other 996TT's but don't know where/if they ever meet up.

There used to be group drives (mountain drives) three or four times a year; Boxsters and various flavors of 911s, but I haven't heard of any in several years. I'm up for scheduling a get together/group drive though.
