On my black GT3 I had the entire front of the car done. Entire hood, fenders, bumper. Eliminates the line but does give the paint a bit of an orange peel look. Well worth the protection in my opinion.

I spent the first 90K miles of my Arena Red 993's life doing touch up paint with a tooth pick. Looked like $h.t Got a front respray and did the Venture Shield. Same when I took delivery of the TT. Drove it directly to the Venture Shield installer. Bumper, full hood job, plus fenders etc. No fence for me.

Having had a Midnite blue TT I would say the darker colors are a must clear bra. That was my one regret of that beautiful color. Now my GT silver car is clear coated but a dark color? no question thats a an absolute. VERY cheap insurance.

On black it's an absolute must as the paint chips white to the primer. Areas to be concerned about:
1. hood
2. front bumper
3. front fenders
4. areas directly behind tires
5. lights
Proper installation will make it look 100xs better. In today's market, there are many so called "certified" installers. Do not take too much into this certification as it is only a 2-3 day training course - not very extensive. What's more important is the installer's number of year's in the industry. Be sure to look at the finished product, which will give you a pretty "clear" idea of what it would look like on your own car.

I was on the fence for a while and ended up having Premier install the Ventureshield on my silver 997TT. They did a great job and I'm happy I had it done. Now I can drive and not have to worry about the small chips and pits. I think it's better to keep the original paint in pristine condition and replace the Ventureshield if it's ever needed.

I am happy to hear you are happy with the Ventureshield on your white TT. I have also been on the fence on this for upcoming white TT. Do you have any yellowing happening? Did you Matrix your paint? Are your rear fender clearcoats that came from the factory yellowing or did you have those redone? Thanks.

Finally, I've also had the full front (quarters, hood, bumper) of my wife's silver grey mettalic '08 BMW 535 covered and Im very pleased with how the Ventureshield looks on that color as well. I can definitely attest to the fact it doesnt eggshell nearly as much as 3M, although I think both films are good quality.
Hope this helps - like many, I did my research and settled on the application that seemed to suit me best and Im very happy. Most importantly, as stated in this thread and many others...get a high quality installer.
At the end of the day, its really all about piece of mind that youre protecting your investment and keeping it looking nice.
