Hey all, just had the 3M film installed on my IBM 2SS. I had them do the front fascia, and the mirrors. Intention is to protect against rock chips. I did expect that they would have to use 2-3 pieces to do the whole clip. Install time was ~6 hours. I did not have a chance to inspect the car while I was there, when I came in it was pouring rain. I had heard that the installer was very reputible, so I was not worried at all.
However, as you can see in picures below they used many, many more than 2-3 pieces. I expect the piece count to be 17 seperate cuts. There is a 1/4" to 1/2" open seam at every bend of the sheetmetal, they did not wrap it over any of the corners. On the passenger mirror the gap between the film is closer to 3/4". I am dubious of its function of protecting against rock chips, not to mention the nightmare this is would be to wax.
Total cost was $400 plus taxes.
It is my intention to expresss my displeasure to the Ziebart who installed this and see what they will offer, but I wanted to be sure I'm not being unreasonable in my assumptions. For those of you who have had this done, is this typical for an install? Pics below. Sorry for the poor quality, had to use the flash for the seams to show up, washes out the paint color and messes up the focus.
