Merv Posted 15October, 2018 Report Share Posted 15October, 2018 On my 997 I had 3M stone guard film fitted by a specialist. He had the correct cutouts from all the front area, front trunk and screen supports, mirrors etc. The guy who did it is not doing installations anymore I believe. On my Boxster I was initially interested in getting some pre-cut stone guard film for the headlight covers. Any suggestions? I could cut and install from a sheet but cutting/trimming on the car can be a bit tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect fit for bonnet and lights, haven't done nose yet, think I will get someone to do this as there's a fair bit of pulling and stretching required. I did our 987 myself from some 3M film - did some templates for the lights from some newspaper, and that worked out fine. I also just put a 600mm wide strip up the front of the bonnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas Posted 15October, 2018 Report Share Posted 15October, 2018 I’ve got a friend who did a complete wrap on my 997 and recently 996 from his garage. His prices were much more reasonable and quality of work as good as I’ve seen. It’s a lot of work to get right and I’d highly recommend him if you’re willing to take your car to Brisbane. He is using an Avery Dennison film spf-XI and has a database of templates via subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv Posted 15October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 15October, 2018 Yes I watched my 997 being done and it was a specialised job, if you wanted top class work. We can all have a crack at DIY but there is a difference. Could you send me your friends contact ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 17October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 17October, 2018 Thanks JT. I have a Boxster 987.2 (2011) . I was originally thinking of only headlight protection but also interested in a broader front end treatment. Cheers Merv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 19October, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 19October, 2018 No JT, as in my PM, I am interested in the front kit and an idea of costs. I can buy the headlight pieces online already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt3009 Posted 20October, 2018 Report Share Posted 20October, 2018 I can provide a template for a full bumper, the Full-coverage fenders and bonnet will be hand cut, as precuts are all half coverage in my database. I will PM you the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
