Clear Film? any thoughts / suggestion / experiences? Group buy?

Is the price is $400 including installation?

I will inquire with them.. I'm just the kind of guy that does research before I buy.. consider me one of the CHEAPER people on the forums. The ones always looking to get a deal.. but a good deal where you really get more than you pay for. I don't know if they have the kits for a GT3.. I will inquire..give me a day or two..

$400 is the out the door price with 3 or more people.

I'm asking for input on experiences with the film particulary the 3M film which supposedly set the standard in the industry. I know BMW people buy this stuff like crazy especially those M owners.

If you have chips already in your front end, I'm guessing that you won't get more chips?

email me whatever questions you got so I can ask them all at once.. Thanks!

I had the 3M film on my original 2003 bumper. It only had 1 stone chip in it at the time I had the 3M installed. I'm not sure how well a bumper would look if it had a lot of stone chips under the clear bra. Plus it may not adhere very well.

I really liked the way the 3M protected. I payed $450 for the bumper, half-hood, partial fender and mirrors. $400 for the bumper only is not what I'd consider a group buy. $300 would be more like a group buy installed price. They'd be making at least $100 per bumper at that price. Retail for the cut-kit should be around $250, they probably get it at $200. Can you tell that I've done this research before????

I was also told that the GT3 bumper shape is one of the most difficult bumpers to install. You wouldnt want any inexperienced person doing the install.

How much not installed? (GT3 bumper)

Basically your paying the cost for the materials, the material cost 2X as much as the 3m (THEY CLAIM), I saw it on their NSX, nice, it's really that shiny! You get the hood, bumper, headlights, mirrors, rear bumper strip. So the install is basically free. I checked around and the largest competitor ClearArmor uses the 3M stuff.

$400 The deadline for the group buy is next friday. So let me know! Thanks!

Ill pass, 400 for bumper only is pricey, My mirrors, hood, fenders and headlights take nearly the same beating as the bumper it doesnt do me any good to protect the bumper only to have everything else chiped.
