Hey everyone,
Here are the pics of the install today. He got here about 10am and finished around 4pm. Super nice guy and he was nice enough to let me watch and document the process for the forum. There is definetly an art to this and his experience shows from the first piece he installs. The film comes pre-cut on large sheets of a type of wax paper. He started at the top and worked his way down to the bottom by the end of the day. It was truly amazing to watch the film disappear into the paint. The last couple pics are with the bra on and in full sun. It is extremely difficult to see but I guess that is the point.
It comes with a 5 year warranty and is resistant to bugs, road grime and small rocks. He had me try and poke my finger thru a scrap piece and I just could not do it, no matter how hard I pushed. My wife even tried with her fingernail and couldnt even come close to going thru it. Its like a small coat of armor. Here in Florida we have these nasty little critters called Love Bugs that have acid for blood and do a number on a cars paint job if not removed right away. He tells me they will wipe right off the bra even after a weeks time. He has instructed me to apply waxes to it whenever I wax the rest of the truck, but for right now it is as shiny as the rest of the truck.
He applied the 3M film to the hood above the grill, the sides of the front quater panels, the area directly under the headlights, the top of the front bumper and the lower front bumper including the fog lamps, the leading edge of the roof and we had some leftover so I asked him to custom cut the inside of the door sills for me.
I'm super happy with his work and his professionalism. If you live in the Orlando, FL area this is his contact http://www.invincaman.com/default.htm
Total bill with everything was $800. You'll find it difficult to spot the edges in the photos. Worth every penny.
Take care,
Mark
