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

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?

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 "
