I would love to see it in action.

All the back sides of the panels are sealed, so will start the wrapping this week.

Can't wait to check out your Wrapping skills!
I have the help of a vinyl person doing most if not all the work as I watch and tell him how to do it! So will see in a week or so (as filling in all the chips/holes/defects now) how that comes out and all the panels fit back together as we will wrap with panels off and panels in a jig when we need to pull on the vinyl.

Tony, I didn't realize you changed from a race car to a show car but it is pretty..
818S/C : Chassis #25 with 06 WRX 2.5 turbo, ABS, cruise, PS, A/C, Apple CarPlay, rear camera, power windows & locks, leather & other complexities. Sold 10/19 with 5,800 miles.
Mk3 Roadster #6228 4.6L, T45, IRS, PS, PB, ABS, Cruise, Koni's, 17" Halibrands, red w/ silver - 9K miles then sold @ Barrett-Jackson Jan 2011 (got back cash spent).
That colour looks great! All the extra work to do the CF was worth it, I really like the blacked out tail light section. Did you get the side sails done in one piece?

Holly cow! Put that on the car right now we need to see this work of art! Seriously it looks amazing the CF with matte dark silver. And you too did that color change on the top of doors.D
Did you manage the rear bumper CF in one piece or you had trouble with the recess areas of the lights?
I see you didn't need to trim the top fwd of the door, mines hit on the windshield surround I needed to cut an unwanted U at the top front.

Tony, the CF around the rear lights, and around the front bumper looks awesome combined with the grey. I haven't had a lot of time lately, but now I am motivated as I was planning a grey paint similar to your grey. Nice work.

I have 65ft so I hope it'll be ok. The new nose will be a different color so that removes 3-4ft.
Sorry about the comment on the door, you have an R so this does not apply to you. I remembered that when I went to sleep last night (I think about 818 stuff 90% of my days and nights).
I'm amazed you managed the center of the rear bumper in one piece, that must have stretched a lot on the backup/TS lights but you made it.

WOW Tony, This look Great.
Very nice job on the engine cover to make it fit over roll bar and wing mounts.
I really like the carbon on the rear.
I also like your jacking point.
Will your mirror mount be stable?
When is your next day at the track?

Front mirror is welded to front roll cage hoop bar, the side mirrors are mounted to side roll cage bars, so as long as the roll cage is intact the mirrors will be. I will be on the track in April as I still have some minor stuff to do and it is still cold and raining here in the NWWill your mirror mount be stable?

Tony that looks INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! Just, wow! The evenness of the sheen on the wrap is flawless from the pics. Did you clean up any gel-goat irregularities (you know, the rough edges, gouges, flashing, left-over release clay and things like that) before you wrapped it?
I was going to leave mine in the white gel-coat but am re-considering a wrap after seeing how amazing yours turned out. An opinion I have about the 818 is that it really needs it's curves and body lines to stand out in order to look right. Certain colors (especially metallics) really bring this out. The orange Wayne used, for example, did this well. But the matte sheen on your wrap accomplishes the same thing.
Excellent work. That thing is going to intimate people at the track!
Looks great Tony. Sorry I wasn't able to make it over for the reassembly on Saturday............too many chores and wife things. I love the look but that thing is going to disappear on a grey race track on a grey NW day. Maybe better run with the head lights on so we can see you coming!
Wow it did turn out great. Bet your chomping at the bit to get it on the track.
