PM the price as well if you have done so with other people. I could really feel going from black to white

Also the car looks gorgeous in white, but it did in seal gray also!

 

i want to know how much too. Pm the details please

 

I would like to know the details too. Please PM the price in info.

 

Are there Web sites that describe the 'wrapping' process? The photo results are amazing. I would be interested in the cost info as well. Thanks.

 

damn that is a good job your friend did wrapping the car. can you pm me his contact info

 

The cost please

 

Why keeping the cost so secret... I think giving a ball park would be good play for all 6speed members since we are all car enthusiast and this is a great new for someone who wish to switch color "for a moment"...

 

Your friend did a great job on your car!!

Don't mean to hijack the thread... with all these responses; does it mean that many of Pcar owners not very happy about the color of their rides?

 

No, not at all!!! At some point in time, we all want a change, and this is the PERFECT way of doing so! AND protects the original paint from scratches and rock chips!!! Its a WIN WIN situation

 

What alex said, paint protection, and it gives you the chance to try a different color, the one that would have been your second choice, or first if you couldnt find it..



And Porsche didnt make enough of the 996 TT in white, a big shame.

 

The gloss on these wraps are typically NOT as shiny as car paint, they can never be. But they do have a gloss to them. One other thing that is irritating is that certain sections around bumper corners etc after time peel off and collect sand/dirt that reduces their adhesiveness. Not major, but if you are a perfectionist that can drive you a bit bananas.

Here in Singapore a wrap typically costs around USD1,300. Far cheaper than a repsray, and allows you to be far more adventurous in colour choice. A favourite here has been matt black on ALOT of cars....

 

How is this installed? Is it heated and then shrunk to the body? It all seems so perfect on the OP's car. I wouldn't have known it was a wrap if he had not said anything. Maybe it's easier to tell in person?

The only thing I would be concerned about is trimming on the car. Some CB guys use razor blades on the vehicle. That makes me hesitant. I've heard stories about people pulling their bra off only to find razor blade lines in the paint.

 

What's up Alex?

I'm not quite sure if this is a win win situation. A full wrap of protection clear film costs about $5000 in the Bay Area; you can pretty much assume the color film is the same neighbourhood. Since those films are more likely glue based, you are taking the chance of damaging/removing part of the clear-coat or even paint when you remove them.

I'm from a Chinese background; one thing that some Chinese do (I always joke about) is to buy thousands of dollars expensive furniture and warp them in clear plastic. Why? I always enjoy the true beauty of Pcars. In terms of original paint, I really don't think it changes the resell value much.

Just my 2 cents.

 

calbobba, that is one fine 996TT specimen. Definitely one of the best looking 996TT I've laid eyes on. That wrap job looks excellent.

Great job!

 

The only thing I would be worried about is the amount of residue (i.e. glue, adhesives) that would be left when taking off the wrap. We just removed some vinyl covering on the windshield surround strip of an S2000 (very small portion of the car) for a customer here at my shop and the amount of adhesive that was left on that piece was a great amount and quite a PITA to remove properly.
