The job

Film on every exterior surface. Then the whole car coated.

An install the shop ranks among the most difficult there is, worked by the team in collaboration with Autobahn.

01

Autobahn film, every exterior surface

Corner to corner, not a front-end package: Autobahn PPF on every exterior surface, the matte carbon included.

02

Härt over the entire car

Once the film was down, the entire car went under Autobahn Härt ceramic coating.

03

Keramik X on wheels and calipers

Autobahn Keramik X on the wheels and the brake calipers, where brake dust does its worst.

04

Matte carbon, cut by hand

The matte carbon where you climb in and out, filmed by hand so getting in and out of the car does not wear it.

“As this installation undoubtedly ranks among the highest in levels of difficulty and a quick completion was important, collaboration with Autobahn’s David Kratz and Brodie Matthews was an integral factor throughout the project.”

“First one in the world to receive a full wrap with Autobahn PPF and Ceramic Coating.”
