Seems like RS 4.0 prices are going up … and into winter, too … I guess there just aren't sellers … strong hands, as they say … I don't see too many on the market. I guess it will be 2014 and the next RS before these lose favor with the status-conscious types … you know the type … thinks it's somehow impressive or in the slightest innovative to wrap a lightweight track car in chrome plastic …

There is a forced induction 911 running around town with the same treatment; I'm not sure if it's a turbo or GT2. I would have to guess the same owner is responsible.

The local Infiniti dealer brought one of their cars wrapped like that to the recent Winter Park Concours event. Horrible.

You are correct. It is a GT2 RS.

If I had won the powerball last night I would've bought it. Missed it by all 6 numbers.

The poor little baby Jesus is crying right now.

Who's to say that the paint is all fooked under the wrap from a crappy installation.

Cuts from exacto's and such.

That is not a pretty picture. Of all the choices the owner had, what was he thinking?

Wrap comes off easily. Front lift, PCM, wart, etc. not so much.

Anyone out there own a stripped 4.0 (inc no A/C) please contact me. I will buy it.

I'm sure it's possible but more work than I'd like to get involved in to make it factory correct. Plus, I'd prefer the build sheet to show an unmolested car.
