That's exactly what lead to this project.
PPF this time!
Also new flags to match the wrap.

Nice. Good pics too. You got a good discount. That would be about $6K around here. Did you PPF the hood too?

Thanks, installer has been fantastic to work with and has the same vision/ocd....and he sent a ton of pics throughout the entire process.
I only did the PPF on the front cover, mirrors and front spiltter....as those were the only areas that had been taking a beating.

Came out great. My black C5 is in dire need of a repaint or a wrap. Considering the cost of the wrap, I might just go that route.

Happy to share, a bit of heat and a little elbow grease removes the wrap fairly easy.

Yup, that's something that has been bugging me for quite a while.....once I get the car back home I'll take care of that and a few other things...need to do the fuel rail cover letters in the same blue along with the silver letters on the intake.

For sure less than paint....just keep in mind it won't last as long as paint, and it's only as good as the surface it's being laid on.

This was a side gig, so he's been going at his own pace....which is slow and steady. About 2 weeks.

Looks fantastic! Two thumbs up.
I especially like the ghost image of the logo in the power bulge.
