G35toIS350 . . . where are you located in indiana? I really like that price but just dont think i want to chance it. I want a QUALITY setup above all . . . even if i have to pay a little extra. They use ClearShield, not Xpel or 3M, which kinda worries me.

What if any color fading do you get from the clear tint? I mean will the color fad after one or two years, and how long should it be replaced to keep that from happening?.......

Haven't compared too much but quotes have been $750-$850 for full front (full bumper, mirrors, extended hood, fogs) which seems too high to me. Will check around more later.
Where in Indiana? seems resonable.

Alright, here's the link to find a professional 3m installer in your area: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3..._the/Consumer/
I'm going with a local installer here in Dayton Ohio who's name has been on a few forums with a dozen reviews over 3 years of Clear Bra installs. His name is Julius Poe and he comes up as the only Certified installer in Dayton Ohio. Full 3m install was quoted at $600 (24" hood, bumper, mirrors, fenders). The thing is that he doesn't have a shop, he travels to where you are at. Probably why his prices are $195 below Ziebart and other independent installers since he has no overhead. I actually like the idea that he's going to be doing it in my garage. I can prep the car to hand wash any dust/dirt/bugs before he gets there. People who have reviewed him have had his work done in Columbus and Cincinnati also (1 hour away). I was a bit apprehensive about him not having a shop, but 3 years of reviews from forums of VW, Audi, Corvette, and Acura made me think that he does it to save on overhead costs.
I pick up my IS on July 1st and the bra will be done shortly after. I'll review his work and post pics afterwards.

I see the mention of Full, is that the Entire Hood or 24" of the hood? Does anybody even do entire Hood?
I got quoted $700 for 3M 24" Extended Hood, Mirror, Fender, Bumper & Lower Bumper, and headlights & fog lights. That sound fair?
TIA
