11) If you dont plan on using a bra with the mag sheets for a leading edge on your hood you can go to your home Depot and get a clear plastic binder that is used for cheap picture frames.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

First of all you want to order all your magnetics in 24" width. Thats as wide as the sheets come. Hood Protection: Measure the length of your hood and add 3ft for the inside of the fenders to the total.
Too protect the side of your car. Simply, measure the length of your car and double that.
Now go to the MSI magnetic sheeting website <a href="http://www.beacongraphics.com/magnetic-sheeting.html" target="_blank">http://www.beacongraphics.com/magnetic-sheeting.html</a> . They have many colors online but if you dont see what you want. They can make almost any color you need.
You want to ONLY use "30 mil" sheeting as this gives the most protection and will not blow off while driving.
Ask MSI about any sales because they tend to have sales that arent listed on line
MSI Magnetic sheeting
To apply is simple
1) wax your car and take a damp cloth and wide the mag side of the sheeting to clean anny particles away
2) roll on the two parts of Magsheeting.
3) 2 widths 24" sheeting covers the hood perfectly. Make sure that you center the both sheets over the center of the hood. USe the porsche emblem as a centering guide. Due to the curvature of the hood you will have a tiny bit of overlap in the sheeting along the centerline. Mark these places with the grease pen. You will shave these overlaps off with your magnetic roller cutter
4) open the hood with the sheeting still on. Its supposed to hang
5) take the grease pen and outline the form of the hood from underneith.
6) Remove the sheeting from the hood. and use the magnetic roller cutter (MSI sells this. Ask for it) to cut the magnetic sheet according to the lines that you made.
7) cut any overlaps that you see.
now replace the sheeting on the hood.
9) Now get yourself 2" vinyl tape.
10) apply this down the center line to join the two hood pieces. Do this on both sides
11) If you dont plan on using a bra with the mag sheets for a leading edge on your hood you can go to your home Depot and get a clear plastic binder that is used for cheap picture frames. You apply this to the leading edge of your hood
There you go! thats it!
two protect the side of the car. You basically do the same thing.Apply the length of the sheeting along the side of the car. Then take the grease pen and outline all door ,side vent and wheel well openings. Now use the mag roller cutter and cut along you lines.
You will need use tape to seal the mag edges to the side intake vents and wheelwell edges
SO there you have it. Your car is now protected.
Now you wantto to add some killer graphics and numbers. Go to Harris Graphics. Its a family run biz. They are great to work with!

Hi Roger,
I looked at the picture of the Boxster. Is that yours? The bra it has on
is probably the same one I have made by Colgan. I have one problem with
that and would like to know if you have a solution for it. The cutouts
for the lights billow up at speed, and soon they become air ducts,
catching road debris and wedging them between the lining of the bra and
the cars's fender. The only thing I've been able to do for the track is
to tape the holes across the openings to the headlight. Not attractive,
but functional only for the track. If the bra stayed on better and there
was an easy and reasonable fix to the cut out problem, I'd probably keep
it on all the time. Colgan, I hope you're reading this.
for $5 you can fix this. GO to your local auto uphulstery shop and buy two 1 foot square sheets of felt lined black vinyl. They will have the same stuff that the bra is made it. Now cut out the same area (but 1/2" larger in size for over lapping)as the headlight cut outs. Put your bra back on and then put your cut outs over hte headlight holes. Use 2 to 3" vinyl tape to tape the edge ofthe new cutouts to the bra. There you go!
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
