Anyone have any pics of a standard white Taycan with the Xpel Stealth wrap on it? Mine gets trailered to have the wrap + ceramic coat + tint tomorrow. I'm getting a bit nervous today only because I've never see the plain white with a stealth wrap on it. I've seen it with the CWM and it looks fantastic, but I'm slightly worried that the standard white lacks depth and may not turn out the way I envision in my mind.

Any pics of a similar setup would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

I don’t yet have my car (it’s on a ship, apparently) but I’m considering the same wrap on my white Taycan. Given that you mentioned that it is already happening on your car, you presumably don’t have to wait long to see it for yourself on your new car? When you do, please post some pictures here :).

I should have the car back on Friday, or worst case early next week. I'll grab pictures with indoor lighting in the garage and outdoor lighting so that you can see the overall spectrum of how it ends up looking.

Best of luck on shipping and I hope you run into no delays.

I had an M5 Comp wrapped in Stealth. I also struggled with the decision between matte and clear. I went to the installer when the car was delivered and they put a patch of stealth on the car. Seeing it in person made that decision very easy. It was left over material so no cost to the installer and complete peace of mind for me.

In my head when I've visualized it it was an easy decision. Hopefully it looks as good as I've envisioned. It's looking like Friday might be the day I get it. Since I've already signed on my car and it's mine I don't think the stop sale is going to halt me taking possession right now either from what I can tell. Worst case I'll have a recall I need to deal with, but they won't hold my car until the software is available for this stop sale thing happening right now. I guess we'll see. I'll definitely share pics when I get it back.

Just got the call. I do my pickup tomorrow morning. I'll try and grab some pics and have them up tomorrow.

I'm both nervous and excited.

I just drove up to take a sneak peek at it. I can't even describe how good it looks. I'll definitely toss some pictures up tomorrow, but if anyone is considering doing the Stealth on a basic white, don't hesitate. It's definitely worth it. Stealth + Ceramic is the way to go. I hope pictures can do it justice.

Photo dump coming up. It is really hard to capture the wrapped satin effect in a photo. It looks great in person and definitely sets it apart from other cars on the road (aside from the fact it being a Taycan already does that too). Anyone thinking about doing it should do it.

Hope these help anyone make their decision if they are on the fence. Compared to my before pictures when it arrived from shipping it fits my tastes a lot more, at least personally.

Looks amazing! Can I ask how much it approximately cost?

It will be dependent on your local xpel provider probably, but basically it broke down like this:

Xpel (clear) wrap was quoted as 6800 for the full car
Xpel Stealth (satin) Wrap was quoted as 7500 for the full car - They stated the premium over standard clear was due to the increased cost of the material
Full Ceramic coat of the car was 1000, which was placed on top of the wrap when completed

All in all, I like the finished product. The shop that did mine didn't appear to have taken apart the car as much as I've seen in videos for a truly seamless wrap at the edges, but they did a pretty good job. I'm pleased with the end product. I would have loved a fully seamless finish as I've seen some other shops perform in other states, but I still really like the way it turned out and wouldn't change it. The seam is only in rare spots (like the top of the hood corner nearest the windscreen, or at the wheel well edge on the rear quarter panel), and normal people won't even notice. I noticed because it's mine, and because I'm overly attentive to little details.
