You know what's funny? There are guys who have spent thousands of dollars on complete GT500 front end conversions, GT500 & CS rear fascia conversions, their own GT500 SS conversions, ETC.....and because a few guys got up on the wrong side of the coffin one morning, my thread seems to be most offensive, and blown up with BS. Man, I just don't get it? Like most members, I've done upgrades that apeaze me, and I believe I've done a very classy job. Not many guys have the middle CS painted, with the brake ducts, so I figured I would post pics, just to throw a visual out there. Pascal, I'm sorry for the rant, but like you said this thread has taken a very different direction from its intention. Pascal, after almost 60 posts, and most of them off the topic, please delete this thread at your discression.
But if you don't mind me asking, about how much was it for that clear bra? Can you really tell it's there when you're closer to it, like seems and edges of it?

thread is no where near most offensive, and it has a little BS...but like pounds said, 'you can't let it get ta ya'...it's just discussion/opinion...I think your thread is winning! Also, same question on the clear bra as pounds (the visual aspect/being able to see it, not the $$)

The base 3M kit which includes all of the following: hood, front bumper, both fenders, door handles, head lamps, and fogs was $625 installed. I had custom pieces made using the ROUSH louvre templates, so my louvers don't acctually sit on my paint. Same goes for the Ford side scoops I just installed, both cost me $100 each extra, film + install. Then I had custom piece made for my CDC classic chin, which ran me $130, including install. Some of the above applications were done at different times.
I really love the stuff, and the great thing is that you can easily do your own scratch and scuff repair. If the material ever gets lightly scratched or scuffed, a heat gun and a few passes does the job. I actually managed to catch a large rock to the hood, which left me with minor damage, consisting of a very small connected flap in the material. I positioned the flap in its void and managed to successfully melt it back in place. Now you can tell something hit it, but it's 1,000% better.
If I didn't tell you it was applied, you would never know! Everyone says that after I tell them it's installed. I have had this material installed on 2 trucks, 10 yrs, and 1 yr old, and my motorcycle 8yrs old, never one problem. New England winters never had a bearing on my 10 year old Nissan.
