Dallas Carrera guys/gals I need a wrap job! Installers?
Looking for a competent shop to wrap the c4 in Signal Green, thusly preventing me buying a new car for a while. I do not know reputable installers and could easily spec the time to do it myself if it's doable at home. I'd think with solid color it's easier than say Invisibra....please let me know when to talk to.....Maverick Chapter peep's especially.....I'm already eyeing 997.2 and 991.1 every time I repair something on this mfer.

Ive done some homework on this subject. To get it right, the bumpers, door handles and mirrors need to come off. Im a DYI type of guy.....but this job has a steep learning curve.
Carwrapcity.com in Dallas? I got a quote from an installer here in LA and it was in the $4k range.

I wouldn't drop that kind of money on a 30k car especially if this is a car you don't love and will for sure let go of probably in the near future.
Quick recap - what repairs happened and in what mileage range was it?

Thermostat housing bolts failed and I had seepage at the gasket. I smell it. Car was struck in the rear wheel and broke rear wheel. Mysteriously after that 4 of the water pump bolts stripped from the block enough to cause a failure needing repair this week. I filed a supplemental claim with USAA to recover the cost today. Also my rear tire was reused and think that's risky. I have removed both my bumpers and my door handles and both entire doors for that matter replacing door latches. Not hard just time consuming. Headlight removal is a snap. A solid color wrap is way easier than film just use plenty of LUBE. Keep it wet. Prep and cuts not that tough nor is heating it. I removed a wrap from this C4 when I bought it. Most of me want me a younger 997.2-991 and I'm fixing lots of things currently so my low car payment really isn't until I stop fixing.
She pisses me off but I do like her.

Same.
I can't look at that center console much longer and removed it even for a long time. The base 991 is pretty much what you need plus warranty. And the dipping prices will continue. Meanwhile I am all......

My car was wrapped when I bought it. And plastidipped. Still getting that **** off. My rocker panels will never be clean of it. I say wrap it yourself. 45' or so should do it.
