While I would not try this myself, my installer wrapped the Venture Shield around the hood and fenders edges for a cleaner install without visible lines. If it is pre-cut shorter, then I'm not sure how you would do it. He used a computer program to pre-cut the sheets. I paid $600 out the door. I watched some of his work and it isn't real easy especially if you don't have patience (which I don't). Some things are best left to professionals. It took him about 6 hours.

Thanks for your assistance and pointers. I think it turned out better than I thought it would. I appreciate your help.

Hmm I think I might get the front bumper done and the area behind the rear wheels. I was gonna get a splash guard but hated the look, this provides a much more subtle and satisfying solution.
I've had the benefit of hitting some buys and getting rained on, so I can see (from dirt and what not) where the problem areas are for possible damage. And I think I might get over the line after a while. My only concern is the paint not covered fading faster.

I do have a question on clean paint...do I need to strip the wax (Zaino) off prior to my install or can I just wash and dry? Oh, one more question, I have painted GFX on as of tomorrow and was wondering what are my options for covering the chin area and behind the wheels? The website I ordered from doesn't have a kit for these areas of the GFX. Thanks for you help. |

He is a very helpful gentleman, that convinced me to try the install on my own just through e-mail. Send him a message if you are interested in attempting this on your own. You can also check out this link on E-Bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2010-...Q5fAccessories If interested he will ship you the material to include the tools necessary to perform the install, a 34 min. video, and the actual 3M Material. Via E-mail he will send you other information. I still have contact, even after I finished. Please see attached PDF File for the pieces that are pre-cut. Have fun, enjoy and good luck.

They are actually the pre-cut patterns for the film.
The shown picture is for the SS, but there is a pattern also for the V6's that do not have the cutout for the mail slot. The image is to give an idea of the coverage area of the film, and the different areas available for coverage. I will post more pictures later of the A-Pillars and the Roof. |

Tomorrow is the day
Going to attempt the clear bra install tomorrow morning. I hope to get completed by Sunday. Anyway, I have a few questions for the pros...
Can you drive the car right after the install or do you need it to cure? I have added the painted body kit and need film for my front airdam and the sides skirts. Where can I get film? I figure I will need to cut it myself. BTW, here are some pictures of the car at the dealership yesterday. |
