Daryl- I see that you ordered the 12" BSM stripes?
Good going! Get a price from your installer yet?

$150.15 shipping included.
That is a very reasonable price IMO.
If for some reason she wants too much for labor or I can never get in contact with her, I guess I will attempt it myself

If you do go for it, I'll want to know all the details and hiccups that the other guys that posted here in TMS aren't saying. From all DIY'ers, there's one common bit of advise... patience.
If I did go for the install, I would lay them down in the following order; hood, roof, rear deck and spoiler, bumpers, CDC spoiler (and possibly hood scoop) last.
Rob (at BSM) sent me a test strip of Gloss White a while back. I haven't had the nerve to try it out yet, mainly because I would hate to alcohol wipe my Zaino shield off from anywhere. But, depending on which direction I go with this, I may try my skills on the hardest part, the front bumper. If I pass that test, the rest should be easier.

I have one upcoming weekend free with no kid or any plans, (Yes I know I am a pathetic loser) so if I get antsy I will try it then.
(June 3-4)
You know I will take pics and do a write-up if I attempt something like this.

You're finally getting rid of the 'fishbowl' effect.

I'll post some pics tomorrow. Chris had the camera with him in his truck when I got home, so I didn't have it to take pics. We're off to a dinner cookout/fight night, so no time to take and upload pics at the moment, but I will have them tomorrow.
I didn't realize this meant I would have to spend the rest of the holiday weekend with the top up (They recommend waiting 3-5 days before rolling down the windows, and they want to see the car for a no-charge "check-up" in 3-4 days.) We talked to the two installers at length about the felt/velcro. One was off duty today but was installing tint on his buddy's mustang (either '05 or '06). He seemed to know of the issue, but said that adding the soft side of velcro wouldn't really help because it is still a synthetic material. He said the best bet is to just keep the rubber strip VERY clean (as in, wipe it down with a wet rag after driving through dust, near the beach, etc.) and keep it conditioned to keep it from drying out. The soft velcro and felt apparently could catch and hold dust particles, etc. The shop and the manufacturer offer a lifetime warranty. So Chris and I talked about it a little, and decided to go ahead with the install today. If we get scratches, we'll take it back and have it replaced or get a refund, if possible. Chris said that he's done tint before and could have done mine, but didn't think about it until today, and said "let's go ahead and get the professional install". Anyway, there's my long story.
Legal in TX is 18 back, 35 sides. So that's what we got. We had the option of 35 on the little back windows, but opted to match the side windows, since they butt right up against.
All in all, it makes a huge difference in the appearance of the car (as did Bill's). And it just feels a little better to drive in the shade. I can't believe I actually beat Tom to a mod!

No velcro? Bill will be flabbergasted.

Royce is past his prime and the UFC has changed dramaticaly from it's early stages when Gracie dominated the field.
The outcome was pretty much how I thought it would be.
Still need pics Susan
