Love the color. The sidemarker delete takes one relatively minor eyesore and turns it into a huge eyesore. Can't you wrap both pieces as one? The chin spoiler looks bad, too--is it complete?
Thanks for the feedback, this was a wrap and 997.2 GT3 Cup bumper conversion.
My notes:
I've done everything from V8 swaps, custom fabrication, to bolt ons and paint corrections. Wrapping the car was one of the hardest things I've ever done. This job sucked!
This was my first time. Watched tons of Youtube, read tons of articles. This would have taken me 80+ hours to complete
I can't imagine getting the bumpers right unless i did it 10 times. They were very hard
I was running out of time so I called a friend who helped me (he is a pro wrap/tint guy)
It's much easier to wrap with 3 people
Tearing the car apart was very fast and easy.
Tearing down the doors to remove the handles was very time consuming
Using a torch is much better than a heat gun, but you can easily burn the material
The color looks incredible in person.. pics dont do it justice
Bumper:
I got an awesome deal on a lightly damaged GT3 race car bumper from a forum member
I liked it because it's from a real race car, and it was damaged at the track!
The lights also were a forum member
The wiring was pretty painless. I found the instructions on an enthusiasts site.
I bypassed the markers using resistors
The bumper fits well, but not all the mounting holes line up. Once I get it up on a lift, I'll drill some new holes and get some new hardware
Great job on the wrap, really makes a difference. However, I just don't get that weird gap between the bumper and body? Is it because the race GT3 front-end is wider? OEM aerokit fits perfectly. That's the only flaw - apart from your wheels (but don't get me started there) as it's personal
For a self-wrap, that's impressive. Are you planning to do anything at the rear to balance the aero front bumper, both visually and from a downforce perspective?
I think he needs the GT3 RS front wheel arches for the front, that will get rid if that gap where the fender meets the bumper skin. That gap would drive me crazy. Suncoast sells the wheel arches, and they are pretty cheap.
The bumper is not fully bolted on. Once I get it up on a lift and get some new clips, it will line up and the gaps will disappear. I also need to out the wheel well liners back in. I am getting some wheel arches, but I might also take the 7's off, or maybe I'll leave it as is. Same with the wing. I originally wanted a big wing, but this is a driver, the wing may be too much. Maybe a duck wing?
