2007 Porsche Carrera S Re-Fresh Detail & Film Wrap

This Porsche I have taken care of since almost new in 2007, over time the film had aged and yellowed along with a couple of people rear-ending my client in the last year he thought of replacing his Carrera S (997.1) for a 991 model.



But since he bought the wife a new vehicle(Audi RS5) he thought to prolong the ownership of his present car and re-freshen the appearance of the car with sharkwerks goodies such as exhaust, HRE wheels, a factory bumper customized by the body shop I utilize(RJ's Auto Body) and lastly new film and detail.



Removal of the old film.

Kung Fu grip needed to take off the old film(This was a time consuming operation).

The original film only went so far, so the road butter build up was removed and the new film would cover the entire underside of the rocker improving things protection wise.

Bumper coming off to wrap edges more completely and gain access to the intakes which had tons of leaves and all manner of crust.

Car looks brand new. Awesome job Bob. Owner must be happy. But what owner isn't when they come and get their car from you. It makes writing the check a little easier.

Strictly awesome. I think photographing a white car is almost more flattering without sunlight. Love how this one turned out.
