Transforming a 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS T-Hybrid with XPEL Stealth PPF in Cedar Park

A black and white drawing of three lines on a white background.

At Blue Ocean Auto Spa of Cedar Park, we take pride in elevating every vehicle that comes through our doors—and this recent full-body Paint Protection Film (PPF) install on a 2026 Porsche 911 (992.2) Carrera GTS T-Hybrid was no exception. This stunning performance machine arrived finished in Ice Grey Metallic, a bold and elegant color that perfectly complements the satin matte finish of XPEL Stealth PPF.

This transformation wasn’t just about protection—it was about precision, aesthetics, and craftsmanship. From disassembly to final touches, we made sure every panel and edge was treated with the highest level of care and attention to detail.



Why XPEL Stealth PPF?

XPEL Stealth Paint Protection Film is one of the most advanced matte PPF products on the market. Designed specifically to preserve and transform factory paint finishes, XPEL Stealth offers:

  • A sleek satin/matte appearance that subtly changes a glossy paint like Ice Grey Metallic into a more aggressive, modern finish
  • Self-healing technology that eliminates light scratches and swirl marks with heat
  • Industry-leading chemical resistance and protection from road debris, bug acids, and bird droppings
  • 10-year warranty backed by XPEL for long-term peace of mind



The Process: More Than Just PPF Installation

Installing full-body PPF—especially on a high-performance car like the 2026 911 Carrera GTS—requires precision and planning. Here’s a look at what made this install stand out:

1. Strategic Disassembly for Hidden Edges

To achieve that OEM-level, “no-film” look, our team carefully removed and disassembled several components of the Porsche:

  • Door moldings
  • Side mirrors
  • Tail lights
  • Active aero rear wing

This allowed us to tuck the film seamlessly behind body panels, eliminating visible edges and preventing future lifting or dirt build-up.

2. Application of XPEL Stealth PPF

Every surface was meticulously prepped, cleaned, and decontaminated before installation. Applying PPF to a complex body like the 911's—especially with its aggressive curves and aero features—requires extensive experience. Our trained installers ensured a flawless, bubble-free application that follows the natural body lines without distortion.

3. Carbon Fiber PPF on the Aero Wing

To enhance the sporty aesthetic, we applied carbon-look PPF to the active rear wing. This not only added a custom touch but also tied in beautifully with the 911’s high-performance DNA.

4. Tinted Signal Lights for Extra Flair

For added stealth and style, we applied a subtle tint to the signal and marker lights, giving the vehicle a more aggressive, cohesive look without compromising functionality.

2026 Tesla Model Y Protected from Texas Heat with XPEL XR Plus Ceramic Window Tint

By Jon Barnes • May 26, 2026
The newest Tesla Model Y carries a very different presence in person than it does on a screen. The body lines are softer and more sculpted than previous generations, while the uninterrupted glass and smooth metallic finish give the entire vehicle a clean, almost architectural look. In this silver finish, the design feels especially restrained and modern. Nothing on the vehicle shouts for attention, yet every angle feels deliberate.  For this owner, the concern was less about appearance and more about comfort and efficiency during everyday driving in Texas. Like many EV owners, they quickly realized how much heat builds inside the cabin once the vehicle sits outdoors, particularly with the expansive glass Tesla is known for. The amount of sunlight entering through the side windows, rear glass, and windshield can dramatically affect interior temperatures, even during shorter stops throughout the day.

Its minimalist interior, expansive glass roof, advanced technology, and incredible efficiency make it a perfect fit for drivers in Cedar Park, Leander, Liberty Hill, Georgetown, and the greater Austin region.
