GP Automotive Renewal Service: 991 GT3 - Clear Bra, Window Tint, and Nano Coating
Our first 991 GT3 full clear bra wrap was a huge success. We really enjoy doing full wraps, and so far, each project has pushed the envelope here at GP. This new 991 GT3 was another project that we're proud of. We were able to push the edges of the envelope and give our client a unique product that can only be accomplished through hard work, passion, and the desire to each perfection. We hope you enjoy looking through our journey as we did enjoying working on this project.
Pre-Prep
Once all panels are properly polished and paint chips touched up, we give the car a complete bath to remove any and all polishing residue. Then we begin dis-assembling to give us the exposed areas we need to properly cover with clear bra. As you can imagine, this takes a great deal of effort and more importantly, technical know-how and experience


Surfaces polished and cleaned and ready for installation


Everything is meticulously cataloged

Since we had door panels removed for access to mirrors and door handles, this also helped us do a stellar tint installation as well


Installation






Installation Complete



Here, the left side has no film and the right side has film. As you can see, both film and installation are almost undetectable





No matter how well we catalog, that last nut or bolt makes it all worth it knowing we didn't have any spare parts. You can never get too comfortable doing the same task. Being cautious is a good thing

Replace weather stripping on roof






Finale

I received many PMs on rennlist in the past few days, so I figured I'd cross reference here as well:
I know some of you are taking delivery in the next few weeks/months and I figured I'd answer some of your questions you've been pming me about:
1. What film did we use on the GT3 full wrap.....SUNTEK TOPCOATED
2. How much time does it take....About 5-6 days...our pre-prep of machine polishing and perfecting the paint prior to install, 1-2 days - dis-assembly and cataloging parts removed - 1 day, clear film installation - 1 day, re-assembly of parts and pre-prep for nano coating - 1 day, nano coat and final inspection - 1 day...for us to insure everything look OEM and there are no spare parts, we like to take our time as this enhancement is done once and it needs to be perfect!
3. Can I ship my GT3 direct to you....YES. We have our own transporter company we use, or you can directly send your car to use from dealer and we can arrange for delivery to your home anywhere in the world
4. Why do you apply a nano coating over the clear bra...This coating further protects the topcoat of the film and bonds with the material. The results are less dirt attraction, improved scratch resistance, and an amazing amount of gloss and depth, almost like actual paint. Coating lasts 18-36 months depending on care
5. Will my car look exactly like the GT3 writeup you did....ABSOLUTELY...we pride ourselves on an OCD level of workmanship and that means we have a "system" that I've developed and constantly perfect to assure it's a job that would be done at the Porsche factory
6. How do I send you my car....please PM me you full contact info, or just call us. Once scope of work is finalized, we take deposit, and book you on our calendar. I strongly encourage to pre-plan and give us at least 4-6 weeks notice. If you'd like something done sooner, please call direct and we can check our availability
7. What's your warranty...our workmanship comes with a LIFETIME warranty. The material, if cared for properly, 5-10 years depending on if we use XPEL Ultimate or Suntek Topcoated
8. Can you "undo" this installation down the road...YES. There may a time where you get in an accident, door ding where the film is punctured, but your paint is safe, etc. We can safely remove the film and/or install a new piece
Hope these commonly asked questions help you guys.
Almost forgot...
9. How much $$$.... Please PM. It's not cheap, but I promise the level of workmanship, the manner things are done behind the scenes, and the skill required to do this enhancement, will be worth the peace of mind and VALUE. You will only do this once in the car's lifetime. We're very well-known in the Porsche community and are specialists in Porsches for almost 20 years. The paint is frozen in time underneath the clear film. This means it will actually look "better-than-new". We remove all factory defects and apply the film over the cleanest and most pristine paint you can imagine. When it comes time for resale, our cars always bring in top $$ because of the workmanship of the installation, and the day someone removed the film, they're unveiling paint that can potentially be 5-10 years old, yet look perfect.
Also, for those that are wondering, we do have an installation package that offers the complete wrap on GT3, WITHOUT removal of parts. We will still remove headlights, crest on hood, side markers, etc. As you can tell by now, I'm very OCD and want things done perfect. But, I also respect that it's not for everyone, hence, we offer a package that makes others more comfortable and still have an installation we're proud to put our name on

Hard to believe it's been almsot 8 months since we did this project.
Client stopped by for semi-annual touch up...all this GT3 needed was a Phase 2 - Nano treatment and it looked as good as new. As you can see, this GT3 is getting plenty of track time
