As part of the RUF BUG STAGE II Upgrade, we repainted several areas on the car, and then clear-filmed them. Obviously, you need to let the paint set up / cure before doing this. We hit the entire front clip, which was a bear because of the shape of the Turbo S front end. I also needed to find someone who was really good, since I insisted on having it all in one piece (no seams):
We also did the chin spoilers:
And the tops of the front fenders, lights, front hood, and fronts of rear fenders. All pieces had to be "custom made" (for example my hood emblem is shaved):
Total for everything came to slightly over 800 bucks. Cheaper than repainting the car, plus I have the pleasure of being able to drive with a "pristine" front end. I have to tell you, there's also no greater joy than being able to drive and not worry about road chips destroying our "very suseptible" front end. Maintenence is a breeze. Just wash and wax over it as if it wasn't even there.
