I just joined Rennlist after years of lurking because I am looking for a 2007-2008 GT3RS (any sellers, let me know!). While I'm looking, I decided to have my 2007 Cayman S full-body wrapped in something close to GT3RS Green. The color is brighter than stock, but it turned out quite nice. Nobody that sees it up close believes it is a wrap. The Color is Avery - Grass Green. Also had the Fikse wheels powder coated in gloss black. The last photo is where it started - a black-on-black car.

That sure is bright. Love the garage.

Wow! That is an amazing transformation. How durable are the wraps and what is the expected lifetime?

The vinyl is the same as used for a "clear bra" so it is very durable. You wash and wax it just like paint. The only thing you want to avoid is tearing from sharp impacts. Of course, that same type of impact would hurt paint, too. But wit the vinyl, the result is that you see the original color underneath. And you can't "spot fix" a tear. You can always re-wrap that panel.

The best part is if you get tired of the color in a few years, or you want to sell the car, you take it off ($100 to remove it), and you get a "new" car underneath! If you were instead to custom paint a car, nobody would ever want to buy it from you. About $3-$4K for a full wrap vs $10K for a quality paint job.

Looks great! That's quite an inspiring transformation from a "boring" color combo.

Thanks guys, glad to join this terrific Rennlist community. Here are a couple pics of the garage. Detached from the house, it's a good place to work and play. We just built it last year and disguised it as a pool/guest house. No noise reaches the family!

Very nice! That's also a nice choice of cars, especially the 930, Aston and Z8.

The rainbow is a nice touch.

Powder blue 'vette with white leather interior. Put me down for one of those!

What kind of exhaust is that? looks like the tailpipe sticks out a bit.

ThatDaveDude

Good eye, Chris. That is a "cheater pipe" for use at Laguna Seca. The sound booth is on the right side of the track after turn 5. By swapping the regular dual tip for one that bends toward the driver's side, the sound booth gets less sound and I can make it under the 93db sound limit. Without that, my car registers over 95-96 db. The exhaust is factory Sport Exhaust, the car has been de-snorked and has a race plenum, plus some tuning by TPC racing. It can be pretty loud at high rpm. The cheater pipe an be removed any time, I just swap back to the stock tips when I am off the track.

That Z8 is a Fisker Karma. Cool car none-the-less!

Beautiful garage and wrap.
