I really didn’t love the original color of your car but now I would buy this car! The benefit of gray and black cars is the fact that they are easy to wrap and not worry about the unwrapped portions. Amazing just amazing how much I love your car now! Bravo!
James!! You’ve got a new car! It really looks great, love the black details. Inside and outside in the sun, wow.. I’m sure you’re longing for spring now, with those crisp sunny days.. It’s going to be absolutely fabulous. Enjoy, mate! Cheers, Irwin
Wow! I must say that when I saw the color at the beginning of the video I was not excited ... but when I saw the final result, I could hardly believe it! Excellent job! Well done James! I loved seeing the family celebrating together at the end of the video. Congratulations for the lovely family!
I agree, the decals really do add a nice touch. The color contrasts beautifully and visually it pulls together the front and rear wheels, and balances well with the dark tinted windows. Good job!
I absolutely love the color!!! I'm a huge fan of blue, but this is quite an exotic blue and really makes the lines of the car pop. Awesome job buddy! I can't wait to check it out
The labor involved in this process is unreal. It is no wonder at all that it is an expensive process. That color is absolutely alive. Congrats and Cheers!
one word : Gniiiiiiiii more seriously, it's now a jaw dropping car. I love that. James you made it so well (and the small touches of blue for the interior, just enough, so great) The badge on the rear and the decals on the side just put the final touch for a great combo so gorgeous
@@AutoAmateur Yes, Frenchies are confined. My city looks like an episode of The Walking Dead :D BTW I'm part of those who can do home office, so I have to say I'm not so bad Thank you James
WOW WOW WOW THAT LOOKS AMAZING !! And I’m not a wrap kind of guy. I’m impressed ! It really looks like a different car Much faster 🤣 but way cool . It looks exceptional my friend You must be ecstatic. The black Porsche decal just ties it all together . Well done On my build I went with Porsche’s M5D/Enzianblau.
Yay no more ugly grey! A more interesting color makes the car. (Ruthie 'its really blue') The decal really works between the dark wheels. Bringing outside color inside never works, that wheel center strip needs to be dipped in gas and burnt like a white walker. (clock too!) Congratulations, I am sure this new color will bring a renewed love for your baby. - how much more HP does this color add??
Ohhh baby! That's soooo sweet. Love the color. I wasn't sure about the satin from the sample you showed from the last video, but it's brilliant!!! TBH, I'm not a huge fan of whites, blacks and greys. It's stunning!! Had to watch it a couple of times. They did a great job. And so much cheaper than buying another 911. LOL I'll stick with my Guards Red, but when it's time to follow in your footsteps to a 991, shopping for color won't be such a big deal any longer. Future projects? Maybe another aero kit? I've been rewatching your series on your 997. Thinking about doing that to mine. LOL Too bad TechArt doesn't list prices!! ;-) Or maybe a good thing. Great vid as always James. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!! Cheers
Congrats. I wrapped my 991.1 4s cab two years also in blue. I took the avery light blue and this 99% similiar to riviera blue from porsche. That black Porsche stripe s on the side I have also ;) .
@@AutoAmateur Thank you for the reply. I have really no problems at all with the wrap. After a year or so you will start to think about a another color ;). Sometimes the color is to outstanding for me. The normal color is black an really nobody turned the head for the porsche. With that blue you will get alot of compliments. Where ever you are, you cant hide anymore and kids will give thumbs up. I think I will keep it for another year and then I will move back into stealth mode. Is your key also wrapped? I will send you a some pics tomorrow.
Love the color! If I were you I would ceramic coat the wrap, it will make it easy to clean and make the wrap last longer.ceramic seems hard but it’s pretty easy
When I saw the first piece of the wrap on the hood I thought noooo...then the end result blew me away! Great choice and I love the inside touch with the sport chrono clock. How about 3-D printing some matching blue trim pieces for the 5 piece instrument cluster surrounds, that would look badass (& you could probably sell a bucket load of those too!)
Hi James, you do a great job on you videos, please keep them coming. I just saw this wrap video, I had no idea you wrapped your car, it looks awesome. Are you happy with it? Are rock chips a problem? I have a 16' 991 black edition (which I love), it has a fabspeed exhaust (not headers). I wanted to ask your opinion on what is the best way to get more power from my car? I have driven 992s and while I LOVE those turbos, I love the sound of my car, I'm just looking for a bit more power without breaking the bank. Any suggestions? BTW I did my center console lid cover with the embossed porsche logo because of your video. It looks awesome, thanks. Cheers!
James, I wasn’t sure when you did your preview, but dang it is gorgeous! Bloody well done! A truly unique looking ride. The part that I truly am impressed by are the dark wheels. I usually hate dark wheels but the really are perfect for this car and color combo. 👍😎🤪
Mate , it looks fucking awesome. I got to see it inside of print labs today but let me tell u that seeing it outside in the video just blew my mind. Congrats 👏 👏 👏 great color
Ooh this colour looks better than I thought it would. Very nice. I'm not sure if I missed it in the video how did you get the steering wheel blue stripe looks pretty good. For me I probably would have put the mirrors black to match the diffuser etc. I'm not sure about the tinted rear lights but itl probably grow on me. Maybe there is some way to make them 3d (gen 2) like changing the lenses or something. Could be a future video. Overall great job by the guys love the decals too. 😉
Thanks Faraz!! The blue stripe on the steering wheel is just a piece of the wrap. Super simple to wrap around and install. It comes off just as easily if I get bored of it.
Congratulations on the new car! Amazing to see the boys react to it. The stripe is killer with the color matched wheels. If you wrap the wing mirrors the same, it’s pretty similar to my Miami blue T.
You should have shown us the first part of the video in black & white watching them work on the panels. That would better surprise us with the stunning blue color all at once!
This looks incredible! I have almost identical car, 991.1 Carrera S, and I want to do something similar! Cant figure out the color, but love the side decal! Will be doing the same thing!
James, a new project could be to wrap or paint those dark callipers , maybe same blue..... or it will be too much blue? Hehe... cheers from Northampton, UK!! I love your channel mate!..👍🏻👊🏻😎
Hi James. The car looks awesome. What a dramatic change, I love all the detail changes too and see that you changed the Sport Chrono again (BTW: Did you decide to leave off the clock hands?). I have a full Xpel PPF clear wrap on my car with Xpel's Ceramic Fusion coating and can highly recommend that. Xpel also do a spray cleaner and Ceramic Boost quick detailer that suitable or you can use Gtechniq products, which I've also found very good. Enjoy the car!! Best, Mark
Cheers Mark!! Ha... yes, the clock hands. I didn’t leave them off by choice. In fact, they accidentally got catapulted across my garage floor never to be found again this recent and supposedly last time I was going to play with the clock face. 🤦🏼♂️ I’m trying to 3D print some replacements. 🙄😆
@@AutoAmateur Oh No!! 😲 I don't do as much spannering these days but that was the sort of thing that used to happen to me - usually on a 'straight forward' 10 minute job. Until I'd fumble and drop a tiny hard to replace part somewhere in the depths of the engine bay. Four hours and much cursing later, I'd find it had rolled to the side of the garage!! 🤬 BTW, I emailed info@paragon.ag to see if they would supply some hands for the gauges on my 991 project. No response from them so far but if they do, I'll ask if they could also supply some Sport Chrono hands for your clock. Best, Mark
Hey man i love your vids you deserve more views! The editing is very well done. I myself have a 2001 carrera cabriolet with a stick and you really gave me alot ideas for my car and what im thinking of for the future. Also love your taste! im more of a mexico blue kinda guy but miami blue is fantastic too. Keep up the sick vids.
Great look! Love your videos. Question about the wrap, does the surface of the car , ie. small paint chips etc need to be perfect, or will the wrap cover a little of that up?
Thanks!! The shop should clay bar down the car before the wrap goes on, but just like the paint itself, the wrap will show minor imperfections in the finish due to paint chips. They won't look as distinct as they do without the wrap, but up close you'll still see them - like from 6-8 inches away.
Ah man. I'll be honest. I wasn't sure about that colour when you first told us what you chose. Also, I'm not normally a fan of decals and strips. However, your car looks awesome now! Crazy good. The colour works and that Porsche stripe along the side really finished it off. Also, interesting how dark the windows and rear lights look. Looks great man 👌👌
Getting your car wrapper while we are going thru a depression. Priceless. How do they make any money taking days to do one car? Need some different rims.
From the look of their shop day to day I would say they have been working on half a dozen different cars and trucks in parallel across the team (one snow mobile and one race car too!)
Color looks amazing!! I am sure it is even better in person. Great job! Sign me up for the chrono color switch. I contacted the place on eBay you had the link to, but they do not have the correct blue to match my car, midnight, metallic blue is what I would need. Enjoy your ride.
Cheers Dash! I’m a few weeks away from launching the Chrono gauge faces. Hit me up at AutoAmateurBlogger@gmail.com or I’ll be posting about them again soon with all the details.
I'm very impressed. Did you get a ceramic coating on your wrap? Also, I'm very impressed you had the wing mirrors and the door handles done. It' s a lot of work to take the door cards off. I paid 3,000 for my wrap but the wing mirrors and door handles were not done. Since my car was black, it gave it more of a 2 tone look since my wheels are factory black as well. I didn't get the decals done. It looks good. I removed the front license plate and it makes the car. The front plate ruins the front.
Hey James! Looks great. I knew it was going to be Blue of some sort. Two questions. 1. Why the door card removal.? 2. Were you at all a little apprehensive about non-Porsche specific techs taking apart and reassembling your car? I occasionally have to take my car to a “European Car” shop that specializes in BMW, AUDI, etc. They rarely work on Porsche’s, their words. That’s the reasoning for question 2. Take good care my friend.
Hey Gary! 1) Do you mean the inner door panels? It was so they could get to the handles and wing mirrors to take them off. 2) I would usually be a little worried about non-Porsche techs working on my car if I didn’t know the shop. In this case, I know what a great job they did of my friend Mario’s 991. In other cases like Eurocharged MPLS I know lots of Porsche owners who are very happy with their work. Cheers!
@@AutoAmateur Avery, one of the best out there and some great colours available..... surprised the fitters didn't take your bumpers off though 🤔. Love that blue...mega effective 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I really like the side stripe. I was looking at some and there seems to be an option for a 3" or a 3.5" height. What size did you go for... it looks great!

I really didn’t love the original color of your car but now I would buy this car!
The benefit of gray and black cars is the fact that they are easy to wrap and not worry about the unwrapped portions.
Amazing just amazing how much I love your car now! Bravo!
Thanks so much!! Appreciate it!!
Completely new car! Masterpiece!
Thanks so much Geert!!
Side note your children are absolutely adorable! They are going to be car fanatics just like you! 👏🏽👏🏽

Since I drive a 991.2 in Miami Blue, that should tell you what I think..........fabulous!
New car. Congratulations

Getting your car wrapper while we are going thru a depression. Priceless.
How do they make any money taking days to do one car?
Need some different rims.
From the look of their shop day to day I would say they have been working on half a dozen different cars and trucks in parallel across the team (one snow mobile and one race car too!)

Hey James! Looks great. I knew it was going to be Blue of some sort. Two questions. 1. Why the door card removal.? 2. Were you at all a little apprehensive about non-Porsche specific techs taking apart and reassembling your car? I occasionally have to take my car to a “European Car” shop that specializes in BMW, AUDI, etc. They rarely work on Porsche’s, their words. That’s the reasoning for question 2. Take good care my friend.
Hey Gary! 1) Do you mean the inner door panels? It was so they could get to the handles and wing mirrors to take them off. 2) I would usually be a little worried about non-Porsche techs working on my car if I didn’t know the shop. In this case, I know what a great job they did of my friend Mario’s 991. In other cases like Eurocharged MPLS I know lots of Porsche owners who are very happy with their work. Cheers!
I thought I was going to have to come to Minnesota and beat you but it looks pretty good
🤣👍
wow, that's crazy good....how has it held up?
Um…. Not great. After 10 months I took it off.
Damn that looks great!! Amazing journey. I am not 100% about going matt. Gloss may have been my choice. I think it would be easier to clean maybe?
I’m going to be finding out this weekend... I took it out yesterday and today in the rain to get it dirty!
Looks great, what a transformation. What brand of wrap did you have fitted? 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! It was an Avery brand, the color is Satin Light Blue.
@@AutoAmateur Avery, one of the best out there and some great colours available..... surprised the fitters didn't take your bumpers off though 🤔.
Love that blue...mega effective 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I really like the side stripe. I was looking at some and there seems to be an option for a 3" or a 3.5" height. What size did you go for... it looks great!
Right! And thanks. These are the 3” decals. If you look at some of my 997 videos, the decals there were the 3.5”.
Looks fabulous! Is this the Miami blue?
This is going to turn so many heads in town!
Mexico Blue
Right, it’s closest to Mexico blue. It’s Avery brand wrap, their satin light blue.
