The wrap will probably hold up better than paint on fiberglass.

Update.....almost done!

:p

SWEET! Looks great! Kinda makes me want to leave mine red:cool:

Does it look as good in real life as it does in pics?

I little lift under the tail pipe is all.

I haven't seen it yet Tobra...:(

It should be done in 2-3 days, so I've gotta wait!

Sweet! :)

Thanks P4L. My son in law suggested it and I thought he was nuts, but after seeing some of the recommendations, it looks like a great idea.

Alex that looks freak'n awesome! Gotta be the nicest looking TT I have ever seen. Something about that color combo...

Thanks M.D.! I wasn't crazy about the black Victor Equipment Innsbruck wheels when I first got it but now, with the colour combo with the black / Red Metallic, I'm liking them! Which is great as I was contemplating getting a new set of HRE's ....saved me some $$$! Actually, I'm also thinking of getting just the outer rim of the wheels plasti-dipped in red, for that stealth look!

Looking good. And I love those wheels!


But if you decide you want some HREs, call me. I can hook you up! SmileWavy

this is one of those things where is say to myself 'wow, technology really is amazing these days'.

I have to agree! I wasn't even aware of this "technology" until very recently. Upon discussing the $$$ for a new paint job (my TT has a pretty fair amount of road rash) one of my PCA buddies told me to "just get it wrapped"! I said WHAT IS THAT?

AND at about 1/5th the cost of a new paint job, I didn't hesitate! I had her booked in in three days!

Which shop Alex?

Maxpo | Home

Paul at Maxpo is who's doing mine. He also does all the custom work for Lamborghini Calgary. In fact they're expecting to work on a Hurican shortly. I'll check it out when I pick mine up later this week!

Pictures will be required of course.

She's all wrapped!

I just picked her up last night! We decided to leave the mirrors, rear vents, upper rear wing, roof, and rear bumperettes black for that added contrast effect. :cool:

I'm in love all over again!

I'll post some more outside daylight shots later!

Cheers!

Very hot. I like the black accents. Great choice.

Perfect! ...but I'm biased to red :D

Love that you left the black accents. I may do my wing and vents in a black wrap. That would be cheap, but breaks up the red nicely.

Damn that looks nice.

Craig, you could go CF if you want to look really exotic.:)

Priced it out...CF vents and spoiler installed are as much as wrapping the whole car! Wrapping is $750 :)

Que es CF?

That looks fantastic. I think the way they detailed the door handles is fantastic.

So, was the labor 750 or was that for materials and labor?

You got a quote for $750 for an entire car wrap Craig??

No, No, No. $750 to wrap just the vents and spoiler wing in 3M's best UV coated gloss black (or CF "Look"). Almost $4,000 to wrap the whole car.

The CF vents and wing are $1,795 and $795 respectively...Plus tax and shipping.

I just love those black vents Alex.

Herr, my guy took over a week on and off to wrap mine. In fact he spent a full day just cleaning in and around all the "nooks and crannies" especially under the wheel wells, etc. It came out to about $3200.00 CDN (around $2500 US).

Ah....CF = Carbon Fiber!

We tried using a carbon fiber wrap on the vents but it just didn't work...no matchee!

Because your wheel aren't black, you could go CF on the wing, vents, mirrors, and hood.

Speaking of wings, I'm looking for an aftermarket wing to replace the top part without having to replace the entire deck. ...a bolt-on piece if you will. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Yeah! PM Sid. He works at Vivid now. He sells a bolt-on top wing.

Ya, what do you need, and I can get way more than just what shows on the website!

And Craig, I'd gander you could do those bits in CF wrap yourself. If you were here in AZ I'd tell you come over with a 12 pack and we'd take a stab at it. I've got most of the 2 yards of 3m CF left that I bought to cover my snowboard with.

Sid, if it was even a two hour drive I'd take you up on that.

I know you would Craig. Wrap isn't terribly hard. Just takes lots of patience. I enjoy it in small doses.


And it could be a short drive in that spaceship. ;)

^So Sid what are my options for the rear wing, without replacing the whole deck? I'm not looking at CF however as I'd like it to match the black. Your intuition would be much appreciated sir!

^^^Spambot?

Here's some options. I think with that wrap the agency Power carbon setup would look killer. We have those built here in the US. I'm not at my work computer so I don't have access to stock or pricing, but I'll get that for you on Monday.

Thanks Sid! I'll take a closer look next week.

Alex, you should post a "before and after".

From your OP to the result is really something. I'd hit it:)

The great thing about it is if a situation goes to court and a witness says "I saw a red Porsche ripping by..." you can can say "Terribly sorry old chap, wasn't me. My car is black - always has been :) "
