I'm interested in how the wrapped heritage stripes hold up over time as a result of engine heat, heat from the sun, sunlight generally, nicks, and anything else.
Well, I spend half the time in southern California, where the ambient temperature sometimes exceeds 107, and when in the direct sunlight a lot more, and add the heat from the engine, and what do you have? I know there are some other socal wrapped 124s, and I wonder what there experience is, although they probably haven't gone through a summer yet.

Around here, high end Porsche's and BMW's are getting wrapped left & right. Most are probably garaged though, as is my 124. Still, there are some old beaters which are street parked around here, and the wraps have been holding up for years. Chemical Guys and a few other vendors sell products to help with longevity and color depth. My wrap was only $600 so I'm not all that concerned if I have to have it redone one day.
We wrapped the Auto Ricambi spider immediately after pick up and it turned out great. Some of the benefits to wrap over paint, resists rock chips and protects the paint under the wrap. Also is easily replaced, the painted strip would not be as easily repaired. The total cost was around $600 and it is holding up nicely.
We added the red pinstripe to add definition since it was black on black.
Just picked up my car after it spent a couple of hours at Tint World. FYI, Great service, excellent quality product and friendly and knowledgeable people.
I had them do the Heritage stripe in satin black with a red 1/4 inch accent pin stripe in Race Car Red and apply a 30% ceramic window tint...
Just added a garage door opener to the building where I store the 124. It's a Chamberlain and came with a 3-button remote designed to clip onto a padded visor. Totally doesn't attach to our plastic visor-ette.
I keep a foam can koozie in the center storage compartment. Turns out it clips right...
With the contrast between the Hypnotique Red and the grills and the side sills and the wheels and the top and the lower rear valance, it felt to me like the area between the tail lights was begging to be satin black as well...
(Yes, I know the plate is slightly askew.)
Hi,
My 124 seems to be leaking water into the cabin through some of the mechanical bits on the manual top after and during heavy rain. I get a steady drip the day after it rains. Fairly frequent drips while raining but not steady. It almost looks like it is coming from behind that "cap". I see...
I have only put about 3 tanks of gas in my new car and I noticed that my exterior gasoline door has 2 fingerprint dents in it from where I push it in to release it. The metal is too thin. Silly little dents, but still, it is dented. Anyone else notice this?
