ROTFLMAO.

before you bubble it up, you need some of those polystyrene peanuts.
is your garage temp controlled, else the car may melt or freeze.

seriously though, what's the finish on your floor? looks good.

" NO,.....NO bubble wrap for you. You must drive and you must drive it hard ! NEXT! " (say this like the "Soup ****").

Enjoy your new machine!

Highly recommended... Extremely durable, non-skid finish. This was installed three years ago; no problems, whatsoever.

I bought more than I needed, so you can have the left-overs. I've have the spare bubble-wrap bubble-wrapped and boxed ready to ship. Freight is a flat $230 plus $35 insurance.

A quick search of the archives will show the animosity this can leave in terms of OEM versus aftermarket bubbles. My advice--stick with OEM since it's designed to fit your car and engineered for your garage. Suncoast Porsche seems to have the best deal on parts but be sure to the the facelift bubbles since the 997.1 piece won't fit properly.

Good luck.

While it is likely to be a lot more expensive than bubble wrap I think most people would agree that Ceramics would be the better choice!

Where is Savyboy? I thought for sure he would chime in with a 'group buy' proposal!
