This looks incredible. Has more distinct lines than the GTS. And damn, that looks like liquid. Love it.

In case anyone cares to do some light reading.

The reviews on this car are just stellar.

I’ll stop now. But just a couple more pics. You can see on the third one how you can lose the lines in all black. A bit if contrast really makes them pop. Because they are very defined. Just a bit different from that smoke show rari or lambo.

i like the all black, looks menacing

[strettyend]

Wow gorgeous.
I do agree you lose alot of detail in black. Sometimes I wonder if I should have gone metallic grey or silver but when you catch it just right black is unbeatable.

That’s so very true.

When it’s on point, there is nothing better than black.

I found a pic of this car in matte. Im trying to shrink it to post. It’s stunning…

And the best news…I can always take off the wrap and redo it with clear. Already had to redo my 911 as I’ve driven it so hard.

[superdog]

I think I figured it out. Now check out the contrast. And these lines. I realize I’m going against the vast majority here, but dang…. My calipers are black, not red. Otherwise, this is super close. .E9C136DD-FFCB-4D8E-98CB-3EA6604A05E5.jpeg

I’m firmly on team Matte now. That pic makes it look evil. Congrats. Pure class.

This is literally the perfect car. Congratulations.

Appreciate it boys. Very much so.

I agree. A car that truly does it all, and very very well.

Im thinking Vader…

I forget who was looking for an m4 but here’s one close to invoice.

In the matte wrap it looks more like a

“ Phantasm”

than a “Vader”

That’s nothing man haha

Escalades in top trim are 150k, tons of pickup trucks pushing 80-90k, corvettes loaded are pushing 100k etc etc

My last m3 was a loaded f80 and it was around 77k if I recall correctly so there is some jump in price with the competition trims anyways.

You need 50k for a run of the mill car these days.

We’re getting ready to move to our new home and starting this detached garage to add to the property. (There’s a 3 car attached garage already). Goal was to get rid of the garage lifts and have room for 9 vehicles on the ground.
The garage had to match the look of the house per the HOA, and be approved by the board…That’s done, landscaping plan is done, and now waiting for permits.
I did have to reduce the amount of vehicles we have by 1, (I knew I had to do this at some point, we had too many) so made the decision to have one 911 vs two, and keep the wife happy by not asking her to give up one of hers. It was either that, or get rid of motorcycles and golf cart, which take up one garage spot, and we/I use them frequently.
Decided to combine the 2 air cooled 911’s into a new 992. Pics coming later today after I pick up from getting a couple aesthetic mods, PPF, and ceramic coat.

My son calls my Mazda CX30 turbo stormtrooper because it's white and black. Can park mine next to yours as support lol.

Speaking from experience, I think you'll be much happier if that garage was 4-6' deeper on both bays. It's going to be a very tight fit to fit those cars front to back.

I agree 100%….problem is, I’m limited due to green space/buffer zones and setbacks, due to the shape of the lot.

[DocHorton]

Good luck on the project. Looking forward to seeing the new place. Having seen the pics of your current place I'm surprised you would ever consider moving!

I did Xpel stealth on my black RS6 recently (excuse the dirty garage, hard to keep clean in winter). Came out not bad:

If that’s a dirty garage, you’d probably require medical intervention if you saw mine.
