the old 3m tape was no good, the venture was way better

but from what i heard the new 3m film is up there on par with the venture tape

imho if you are talking about the new 3m film, i don't think either decision is bad

Venture! 3M sucked up until about last year but they say they have changed their product, probably because it was so bad before. I haven't heard any reviews on the new 3M product but you cant go wrong with tried and true Venture.

I have the new 3m tape on my 06 GX 470 and 06 GS 439. It has been a life saver!!! I would reccomend it all day. Although I didn't have enough gutz to put it on myself. i had Lexus do it.

I'm going with Venture tape protection, hood, bumpers,lights, door edges, and door handle wells on my soon to be delivered IS350! I have no experience with it but have heard it's a good product.

I can't find a Venture dealer near Milwaukee, WI. I can get 3M from Lexus, but I've read concerns about "orange peel" and "yellowing" problems. Is the new 3M tape much better (ie, closer to Venture) in those regards?
