Its the same stuff that all the high end car dealers offer at their shops as a service. For pricey cars, people pay 500-900.00 to have it done. there are a bunch of specialty shops all over that basically have a computer set up with a printer that prints and cuts out sets of this film for each specific car. it's a pretty good idea, I'm told that after 7+ years or so the film will yellow, but all you can remove it by heating the surface, hot water and then peel.

I know some of you wanted pic's of how it looks on the car. Well I took 10 shots last night and you could not make out the edges in any of the pic's. That gives you an idea of the "clearness". Anyhow I will try again in better light, but it still may not turn out. Those of you at the WCC will get to see it first hand.

It's holding up rather well, I thought it had very recently been installed. Yellowing a bit, but you can't even notice the bra until you are close to the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

the cruiser came with a package installed. bad idea on a white or light car to me. it collected dirt/road grime that left a dark line on every edge and was impossible to clean. then it started to haze and lift on the edges. i had it removed. your results may vary.

I guess I'll report only slight yellowing out of that list. I'll take a picture when I get back to it and post. It's really quite impressive for such a time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

how would you remove the spray on? hair dryer/heat gun was required to remove the sheet style. prob a better app for darker cars.
