Quick update for ALL... The film has done its job a few times already...

I can tell where rocks hit my bumper, hood & lights.
Glad to know the paint and headlight lense is safe underneath the film!!!

I just went back last week to get my lower side rocker panels done..


When its Worth Protecting... AeroTect It !!

^^ Very True for Me!!

Did you have the nav screen protection thing installed or did you do it yourself? I was looking at that the other day but was wondering if installation for that was hard.

If it's pre-cut to the right size, I would think it's pretty easy. I've done some small stick-on graphics work that is kinda like this. I highly recommend the little white scraper thing you can see in the picture. Think of it as scraping it on as opposed to scraping it off. Keeps the air bubbles out.

Anyone know where I can get one online?

It was done by AeroTect the same day they installed the paint protection.

Think of it like an IPOD skin.. If you have done one of those, its basically the same.

I am pretty sure you can order the Nav Screen Skin from AeroTect if you call then up.. I'm also pretty sure it comes with the applicator card..

Yes it's pre-cut pretty easy to install. I had no experience and not that patient but was able to manage it. Only thing is that it's not exact to the screen size (a bit smaller) make sure you center it before application. Mine is a bit off center but can't really see it once the screen in on. As I said no experience and patience was not my virtue .

What's your cut for this post, Joe?

But seriously, I have a couple questions. I can't find any info about locations on that website. Are they anywhere in Texas?

Also, I've been wondering for a while, how easily does that clear bra scratch? Any more/less easily than the clearcoat on the paint?

I never had to take mine off on the IS300, so I have no personal experience with that.

To my understanding, there should be NO discoloration to the OEM paint or clear coat..

Cut... ?? AeroTect is like family to me..

Everything I wrote is a True Story and a wonderful True experience I always have with them...

I am not sure if they have trained any installers in Texas, but I am sure there are other clear bra installers in that state.. I also know you can buy a complete kit from them and have a 3rd party installer apply the kit, if they are willing too...

It absorbs impacts pretty well from small rocks and other hazardous elements, expecially on the freeways..

I would say can scratch "less easily" than the clear coat on the paint..

The best part is, many years down the road you won't have rock chips across your hood and bumper.. or headlights & foglights with chips or speckles on the lenses..

I always recommend this for new car owners..

My concern right now is that I have already had my car for about 15 months, and I have collected a few scratches and chips on the hood and bumper... I don't know if it would be a good idea to put a bra on top of a non-pristine paint job.

At the same time though, it's not enough damage to be worth the cost of a repaint, especially since MR is apparently VERY difficult to match. I'm wasting so much time trying to decide what to do all while my paint keeps getting slowly beaten up...

... But now I think I'm sorta talking to myself, haha.

I'm in the same boat. I think they'll repair the chips, and I'll just get a full detail (claybar, polish & wax) to get out the swirl marks and water spots from some wayward sprinklers before getting the bra on.
