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

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!

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.

M.D. Holloway 03-28-2016 05:48 PM

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

2porscheguy 03-28-2016 07:19 PM

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!

porsche4life 03-28-2016 10:26 PM

Looking good. And I love those wheels!


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

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?

2porscheguy 03-29-2016 09:38 AM

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!

mreid 03-29-2016 05:08 PM

Pictures will be required of course.

2porscheguy 04-01-2016 10:30 AM

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.

onewhippedpuppy 04-01-2016 11:22 AM

Damn that looks nice.

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