Thumbs up Got a Clear Bra installed by Aero Tect

I recently picked up a new 07 GS350 (Blk/Blk with ML/Nav/XM) and yesterday I had the Venture Shield product installed over at Aero Tect in La Verne, CA. I had read a bunch of great reviews on CL about Aero Tect.

My experience yesterday was also extremely positive. Francisco is a great guy who answered all of my questions and I felt confident that my GS was in good hands. They spent about 3.5 hours on the car.

Their address is 1935 McKinley which you can't see off the street. But you can see 1925 McKinley off the street. Aero Tect is just behind the 1925 building. They have a nice waiting area inside the shop. My wife and I actually took a 30 minute walk down to Old Town La Verne and had lunch at Warehouse Pizza. After some pizza and beer we walked back to the shop and then it was just another 20 minutes or so and the car was ready.

There are a few spots that have some moisture but Francisco said they should go away in a few days. We opted to get the full fenders and full hood done and the total cost was about $930. We also received protection on the headlights and foglights - the current Club Lexus special. It's expensive but I feel better knowing that the paint is protected.

Good deal.
I've been afraid to do it because I've seen a number of cars with it and it becomes yellow and discolored after a while. People don't believe this but the Floida sun seems hotter than other places around the country. So maybe it's okay in Ca but around here I'm concerned it will be a waste of money and time.
Good luck with yours.

Good to hear another positive feedback for this vendor, appreciate if you could post some close up pictures of the hood and fenders.
