Porsche Taycan Side Mirror Accent Wrap
The Porsche Taycan, a standout in the electric vehicle market, combines exhilarating speed with a distinctive design that captivates enthusiasts.

The owner wanted to match the existing gloss black door handles, creating a more cohesive and sporty look for the electric sports car.
Gloss Black Side Mirror Wrap Installation
The project focused specifically on the side mirrors. The original mirrors were a contrasting color to the car's body, and the goal was to transform them into gloss black accents. This type of detail work requires precision, especially on a vehicle like the Taycan where fit and finish are paramount. The team at Level Change approached the task with meticulous care, ensuring a seamless integration of the new vinyl.
Installation process:
- Careful removal of the side mirror covers to allow for complete film application.
- Precise cutting and application of the 3M gloss black vinyl to each mirror component.
- Ensuring edges are perfectly sealed and there are no signs of lifting, even on complex curves.
- Reassembly of the side mirrors onto the vehicle.
