I think the wrap is great. Doesn't make any noise, it's easy to clean and is a huge vinyl bra for the entire car; the paint underneath is being kept in perfect condition. According to the folks that did the wrap, it should last 3-4 years without any issues.

You just need to be careful when washing the car. NO PRESSURE WASHERS and be mindful of any areas where the vinyl might be likely to peel, like on the rear spoiler ribs and rear bumper vents. Mine doesn't have any issues with peeling, just be careful.

Welcome! The 996 C4S is the one of the best looking Porsche profiles ever! Of course I might be a little biased.

Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I'm still trying to sell my wheels.

You can see more pics here: http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/2944730162.html

I've dropped the price from 4,500 to 2,800 so I can get them sold fast. I already have new wheels being made and need the funds asap.

These sell for 1,375 per wheel new, and they only have a few thousand miles on them. So 700 per wheel is a steal!

If you're interested, feel free to shoot me an email gregATpodi.ca or give me a call 406-Four Nine Zero-5846

Great looking car, welcome, this is a great place.

Capt. Obvious, as a former S4 owner, you are dead on, hilarious!
