yeah I have it behind the door handle but that about it. Fingernails are rough so they do scratch.

That's the main reason why I clear bra that potion of the handle as well. No scratches yet.... Aerotech did it for me.

+1 That's exactly what I did, and exactly where I got mine from too. One of my favorite things I've done to my IS

Sean, If you decide you are going to clear bra your car look into Venture Shield.

If you decide on using 3M make sure they use the 300 micron on your car and not the 150 micron. The 150 micron doesn't hold up over time.

Are there any options besides Aerotech? Or does Aerotech have a website where I can order the clear bra for the portion behind the door handles? How hard would it be to DIY?
