PlastiDipped a few Interior pieces Arctic Silver

So,I'm pretty obsessed with this product.I've been doing a lot of people's cars:Rims,Trim,Whole Car,etc...... I always liked the look of the Arctic Silver trim kits on these cars,but never could find them for a good price. My car had some stock pieces in that color and i wanted to accent the interior with the Arctic silver some more. Plastidip recently released their "Metallic" Line,and the silver is about 90% close to the porsche arctic silver. It still peels off when i don't want it anymore,which is also nice about the product. I am very happy with how it came out,Around the shifter and the shifter **** are stock from Porsche everything else has been dipped.

Friend's car and he's gonna sale soon. Arctic silver on black. 43k on miles. Protomotive 575 tune by Todd himself. New 764 clutch. Upgraded sway bars and clutch linkage. Toyos on stock twists. Front bumper respray. Overall nice car! Thoughts? Thanks!!

Nice, i was quite surprised how clean plastidip comes out. I wouldn't shoot my entire car with it like some are doing but for smaller stuff, it's a pretty good product and comes off super easy if you want to change it.

pics and more mod info if available, but $100k minimum unless 'forced' sale

I looked online but don't see anything like article silver? What did you use to get that color right

Quote: rob, was just gonna look up the last gt2 $ thread to tell you i just saw one out here near me at a specialty car place. 28k miles asking 169k. i never thought i would suggest even half jokingly to a fellow pcar brethren,.. dont drive it! park it next to 1148's car and they will both creep up in value. your more quickly lol

Dipyourcar.com is the only site that has it. Look for the Metallic Aluminum

lol Mark...I'll put it this way, I'm driving mine unless someone slides $300k CAN. my way It's great to make ROI, but when you can't buy what you love to drive for less...have you created value?... Cheers, Rob Quote:

the new metallics are awesome. It's called aluminum under metallic kits. If you spray from a foot away it turns out textured. Shot from about 6 inches, nice and smooth. I just did a wheel set vintage gold and I love it. OP turned out really nice

..and for that, i salute you. i would do the same but you must be smiling inside at these prices

I wish they had the gold out a month ago. I did my friends boxsters wheels,had to do a few base coats of the black then a few of the gold.

Hey I drove my car this week lol!

the vintage gold is slightly bronze with minimal gloss...i like it very much. You could just spray over the gold on the boxster

ha! congratulations!

vintage gold and anthracite

A 996 gt2? Those are worth 2.5 million now I think.

I still have yet to try it, but might have to on a few things soon. Whats the hardest part ? Prep ?

Quotes source post: 4389624

as probably known, I'm one of the youngest guys here, but even I'm not interested in the new Porsche's, it's all about the feedback/feel....the old GT2 was 'quicker' around the track then all the latest modern supercars that showed up last time out, and I used a clutch, shifter, and without stability control/TC/nannies! If I ever do sell, it'll be for a LARGE margin over a 930 or 996TT purchase with many track mods...the difference in parts/feel btw a GT2 and TT is big Quote:

Nice post. Looks like a nice match. I love the aluminum bits inside a tan leather interior, its just freshens things up.

There are two (2) 996 GT2 on Ebay with prices over $160K.

There really isn't anything hard about it. The only prep I do is clean everything then spray the predip spray I got from the site,which I think is just some alcohol. The key is to go light on the first coat and to do about 4-6 coats. Love this stuff.

thats why i keep suggesting rob puts his away and somehow forgets he owns one for five years lol...and discovers he's actually made money on a used car! once he wakes up and lifts off its blanket! lol! theres NO hope for my 'ol commonplace 96t but randy has a shot as long as they still have winters in PA! thats my problem! is that driving season is 12 months long!

That's good to hear, I might have to venture in with a few items on my DD. So I might have a few questions in the near future

never gonna happen dude! hahaha ...although I will try to spend a bit more time on the MTB and other cars this year instead

Feel free to answer,I have been there and done that,made and learned from my mistakes haha

They've gone up quite a bit in the past year...most recent one I found.. Auctions America October 2015 Lot 180 2002 911 GT2 Manual SOLD $171,600 http://www.auctionsamerica.com/event...ing=&category= -------------------------------------------------------

How does this stuff hold up on the wheels? I don't want to do it to mine, I'm just curious what the durability is like, especially when washing.

Biggest value 'points' for a GT2, #1, no 'real' accident damage/general condition(there are some nasty low mile cars, and some pristine high mile cars..), #2, bigger modifications ,,,,#3,mileage Thanks for the share, added to my records Quote:

Quotes source post: 4455934

Yup, I agree totally. Same situation with TT as well. I have seen some low mile cars that look like they have been through hell and back. Overall condition and maintainance is king!... for me at least Quote:

value is going up for my GT2 Clubsport.....today with a enumerate of 30000 Euro i have 3 offers to change for a 991 turbo S cabrio 2014 ...i realy dont know if i should do it

Quotes source posts: 4455937, 4455977

Absolutely! Quote: I wouldn't trade it for any new Porsche, they do nothing for me at this point, not even sure I'd trade for a 7GT2 to be honest...have always loved the simple purity and modern performance of the 6GT2 Quote:

Keep the GT2 as the 991 will just be another car in the future= your car is a keeper.

This ---> Quote:

what I have learned in the discussions most people in europe buy the GT2 not to drive but because of the possible profit speculation at this time but it is not possible for me not to drive it , it is a drug what ever value today a GT2 has...it is the same after 4 Years...a new car loose round about 50% after 4 Years

Quotes source post: 4456481

mine has well over theoretically doubled in value since I bought...don't care, bought what I loved and love what I have and don't see anything else as an upgrade, besides 'on-paper'...I've grown up around all Porsche's, this is a keeper car Only other street Porsche I really want is another 914, many Porsche racers I want 956/962/917 etc... Quote:

but rob.. the value on your car is going up DAILY! serious buddy..is it that maybe this g2 price thing IS THE ( sought after/gotta have?? ) of the iteration(?!) this isn't happening to 96gt3.. IS it?? i used to joke w you about this, but now it's getting serious! this from a guy who never saved ANYTHING.

haha, I'll tell you what Mark, if someone wants to buy a 2003 silver on full leather black(no coloured stitching, gauges, belts etc ), very well sorted original paint/no accidents/stories GT2 with 79xxxKM on it... $300k USD takes it, offer valid until Spring 2016. If it sells, I'll wait til 991GT3RS prices crash (Lmao) and be a new-school sell-out and daily drive that year-round But really, bought mine as a 'driver' GT2 that while very clean, has higher mileage...it is light years nicer then many of the ones out there, and if I keep it that way, it'll still pull the money in 50years...think 73 RS, 356 Speedster 300SL, old F-car, condition/mileage really has little effect on their current values, rarity is the key...and the 305 N.A(1287 Worldwide) 996 GT2's sure have that Cheers, Rob

i still admire your "IDGAF" stance on "diminishing" value vs "daily" driving! we're all a "bit" nuts and that's just how yours is beginning to manifest is all lol. mine is stuff like re-torqueing my lugs every 10th day LOL hang onto it, it's ALWAYS gonna be worth a premium as long as you don't do anything rash. add: don't hold your breath for that price "crash"?! ( my dream car also ( well the .7.2RS its a tossup! ) is the 3rs ! ) i saw up close and personal a '16 in "Prince Purple" for $399,000.00 ( i heard it got wrecked a week later?? ( unconfirmed ) the white one ( also a 2016 gt3RS ) was at $350k ( asking ) was the "steal"! lol was only 150 over sticker hah! i didn give the orange a 2nd ( well, ok a 3rd..lol ) glance. that orange is just not my thing. striking though it arguably is.

don't get me wrong, value is always important (I've had more cars then years old I am, started at age 12 and everyone has been a 'winner' for me ), but I bought it to own and drive for the next 50 or so years...why buy your favourite street car and park it? It's staying with me forever and I treat it in the most OCD fashion as you can imagine, lol. And hey I've done well, its doubled in value since I bought it, its 'giving'me $2.33/km so far hahaha ...it's also insured properly should anything horrible every happen :S One of the big dealers in Ontario is in trouble by P-Canada for driving new GT3RS as a demo then reselling them for way above MRSP...

2004 GT2's are really scarce, right? Last year of production, and low numbers to begin with. I would make a WAG that a nice example would bring $200k+ these days if it retained collectible interest. EDIT: listing says "stock twists" - I thought the 04 GT2 had a GT3 style spoked wheel in GT2 sizes?

Worldwide : 2001-247 2002-716 2003-233 2004-73 2005-18 North America: 2002-184 2003 -90 2004 -24 2005 -7

2004 and 2005 had 'GT3' style split 5/10 spoke wheels and standard/optional carbon finish exterior bits( rear spoiler, mirrors) and a few small updates

Quote: So '05 are the real unicorns, although both are rare. Thanks for clarifying.

Yessir, very few 2005's....however, condition seems to always be the most important price factor
