Redridge is correct. that is no wrap on the car. Finished in Matt black and matt silver touches simply sick!!

good thing he is the owner of the body shop...becuase when he is tired of the color he can change it pretty easy

Does anyone know who painted the car? I'd love to know the specs on the paint. The PPG I used doesn't give as deep a finish. Thanks.

Matte black looks very sinister. I like.

My turbo look 996 carrera

I installed carbon kevlar hood with aerocatch, teckart sides, turbo look decklid, and R turbo style carbon wing.
(I had changed my carrera's quarter panels last year.) Here is some pics.

Side vents is closed.
I thought let air get into engine room or rear brake to get cold, but I didn't do because I had to make a hole which might make the body weaker.

Quarter panels is turbo's. So vents on widebody.

Your rear brakes will NEVER get hot enough to need cooling, and if you try and get air to your motor you will most likely end up with a TON of dirt in the engine area, and not much gain in HP

I am not feeling the front bumper of the hood, but nice work on your car to make it unique and personalized to you!!

Interesting. Has anyone ever tried putting vents in a NB? Without changing the entire quarter panels?

Maybe using vents from a boxster? Just curious.
