I will start with the deck lid: first remove grille and insigna, then clean with isopropanol and wrap. Cannot wait to start. I still need to get a heatgun and some IPA.

I'm interested too.
Questions---> What kind of cleaning treatment does the wrap take post installation? Can it be waxed or wash only? Can the vinyl be color matched to a Porsche color? Anyone have any quotes on a professional full wrap job? thanks.

I have looked into this locally. I think it is something that I want to tackle myself, but usually that is just because I am cheap and overly confident most of the time, haha.
Professional wrap jobs will vary, but plan on around $2500 up depending on the size of vehicle, and the wrap you choose. Satin colors will remain satin through washes, but can be waxed out to give them a shined look. I had a very tactile carbon wrap on a hood once, and it was difficult to get clean because it trapped dust and dirt in the tiny bumps making up the surface. I am considering a satin wrap on my car as an in-between solution before I go head first into a full respray. I figure it is worth a try on my own before paying someone. There are YouTube videos showing the technique, and if it looks bad, you an always peel it off and start over!

I imagine glossy vinyl, like paint, will show more defects and such, where flat would hide a lot of mistakes. This should be interesting.

Here is my first panel: About 1:30 worth of work. It is not as easy as it seems, but definitely doable. And in hindsight, the decklid was probably not the easiest panel to start with...

deck lid might have actually been one of the easier places to start. Just a heads up Fenders and hood are a huuuuuuge pita

Progress
I did the hood and the right quarter panel. In hindsight, glossy black was possibly the most difficult choice for a first wrap, because it shows all defects and catches dust so easily. Not the best choice when one lives in dry and dusty climate. I should have stuck with my second choice of metallic gray...But I am not unhappy with the results so far. Certainly a great improvement over the faded old paint.
