Default 3M Night at my place

Tonight is officially called 3M Night. My buddy Skip who installes 3M clear Bra for a living just happend to pick up his brand new 2006 997S Aero Kit from Paul Miller and needed a place to install the 3M clear bra. So I offered him my building.
But before he gets to work on his new toy he has to finish my ride
I had him 3M the lower rear bumper after each wheel (see pics ). This is a spot that gets messed up with time over time with stones and road grim.

Wow, every time I see pics of your garage I just daydream and drool.

That's a great idea applying film on the lower part of the rear bumper covers. I hadn't heard of that before but it makes perfect sense. I'll see if my guy can do that for me as well as a favor for bringing him new business.

Btw, Skip's new ride sure is a beauty! I love the look of the Sand interior with Guards Red exterior. What a nice combo. I can't recall seeing that combo here on this board. Really sharp.

I bet he's really digging it.

Nope it's a private building. From the outside it looks like a warehouse, but on the inside it's a toyhouse

Skip did my car back in January the day I picked it up. I figured he was coming over tonight so I just had him do the lower rear bumper. We threw the car on the lift and in less than 10min. he was done. Now my car has full 3M treatment.

Skips car is amazing. I have also never seen a combo like it. I will post some more pics as soon as we pull it off the lift. It is 1am here on the East Coast and he's still working on the car It is his first 3M job with Aero Kit.

Skip interior looks awesome. I like the Guards Red with the Sand interior. The carbon fiber gear shift and brake lever look awesome.

In that overhead shot, where he's working on the hood, where you can clearly see the eye-pleasing effect of that color combo, it's very reminiscent of the Ferrari look.

The tips must be good in the 3M application business.

No problem anytime. Skip want to do some more 3M sessions with the local Porsche club. I offered him my building as he loved the place. We put all the cars on my lift and he installed the 3M kits right on the lift. It made life easy for him. BTW I am not promoting a business here, just helping out.

Yes Ben that is what I told him last night. I didn't think much about it when he ordered it back in January but, seeing it last night I was taken aback. It's a beautiful combo for sure.
We ended the night at 3am. I am shot and I mean shot. I just downed two cans of Starbucks
