GP Automotive Renewal Service - 993 Targa - Painting, PPF, Nano, and Wheel Repair
In SoCal, we're fortunate to have a pool of Porsche cars available to us that not many can ever tap into worldwide. This has allowed us to specialize in this niche and offer a service which we lovingly call "GP Certified".
These "modern classics", this 993 Targa is a prime example, are now nearing 30 years of age and taking care of them in the "old-world" way they were built, is becoming our new evolution. Restoring, enhancing, and protecting these gems, is what we strive for.
Hope you enjoy the journey this Targa went through at our "asylum".
Front-end showed many flaws such as paint chips, some poor bodywork from previous years, and paint was tired. There were enough imperfections that we felt a proper repaint was the right choice for this 911. Once panels were painted, polished to perfection, we then went into preservation mode and froze this paint in time by applying a clear film.
Custom installation on fenders and hood
Most installations have a seam at headlight washer nozzle. This installation is seamless
Bumper was a semi-custom installation, and even though pattern is computer-cut, we extend/omit portions to achieve a balance between "pre-cut" and "custom" installation
Only NEW parts from manufacturer are ever used in our installations. Most 993 washer nozzles have a rubber gasket that eventually turns into a black "goop". We opted to just replace nozzle with new ones
Wheel Repair
This was probably one of the more challenging aspects of the project. But, we never give up and research the world for options, and specializing in Porsches and having that network for almost 20 years, comes handy
Also fixed a Targa roof that wasn't operating:
