Thanks. It was a 3M product but I don’t recall which one. It’s 35%. I had 25% on my last one but decided to keep it legal this time.

On your clear bra - couple questions:
Did they do the back of the mirrors? If so, does yours have a seam where they had to piece it because of the shape?
Did they do the PPF on the lower trim piece of the grille (between the two chrome points) I'm assuming they didn't do PPF on the chrome pieces either?

Yes, they did the mirrors and yes, there is a seam.
They did not do the lower part of the grill or any of the chrome.

So the PPF film is on the headlights, painted portion of the front bumper, both mirrors, full fenders, and full hood.

Looks great JDR! My PPF guy had a bear of a time with the center section just below the grill. It's a little tricky getting a good fit on the brake duct openings. He said the next GS he would charge more due to the complexity of the fit on that center section.

Tanabe Medallion axle back. I LOVE it. It's not super loud, but gives the car a lovely rumble. I got a stellar deal on it from a local that was upgrading his setup, so it was perfect. Even the wife like the sound and thinks it adds just enough "grrrrrr" when you get on it.

I installed last weekend, but didn't post anything. Today, she had a bath and I took out for real SLR photos. Those will be in the White thread / pics right now.

MTM PF22.2. I love the new design that doesn’t tip over like the previous ones.

Thanks! I had been looking at the Trinova for that reason but when I needed mine was back when anything "non-essential" was taking over a month from Amazon so I settled for what I could pick up at Lowes - For ~$30ish it works ok but I'm definitely looking for something a little better at some point.
