I think I posted these pics in another thread, but here they are again.
Tomorrow, the "clear bra" guy is coming to my home to install on hood, front bumper, rocker panels behind each wheel and inside the doors - just below the trim plates, side view mirrors, and head lights.. I have used this guy before and he does great work and the "plastic" is nearly invisible and never turns yellow. If you wants pics, after install, I can upload. Just ask.

The candy apple red with the black is plain sick. It really grabs the eye. By Friday this week my car will be a near mirror image of yours. Black with dual 10" wide "Electric Red" stripes. I also opted to put the lower body strip on. A wide band surrounded by a single band to the top and bottom of it...like the sweet white car that opened the thread! Wheels are next...
These things are like Harley's...the car is just a down payment for the accessories~ ...Who knew?

I'd like to see the Clear bra results. I'm considering it form my ride. There are lots of sand mines in my area so protection form sandblasting is a real concern.

NONSENSE!
I have had rocks and stones thrown from the other side of the freeway, into the path of my vehicle, causing damage to the hood and front bumper. Here in NE Ohio, there is all kinds of "crap" on the roads and its better to protect than to repair and repaint!

I have dealt with the same installer for the last 10 years. He runs a company called "Blockachip". Total cost of the install was $820.
Expel Ultimate was employed and he covered the following: 1) 1/4 of hood; 2) 1/8 of front fenders; 3) entire front bumper; 4) headlights and fog lights; 5) side view mirrors; 6) paint around wheel wheels; 7) lower rocker panels behind each wheel - about 6"; 8) door edges - vertical; 9) interior door sills; 10) rear lower bumper behind the rear wheels; and 11) front edge on rocker panels behind each front wheel.
Expel is SIMPLY amazing. UNLESS you try to find the "seam", you cannot see the plastic. In addition, the product is "SELF HEALING"! Get a sratch, and it heals itself within 24 hours. Yep, it actualy works.
I will try to take some pics this weekend and post them. You guys tell me if you can see where the Expel is installed.

Hi Guys
Thanks for the compliments. I actually have my own vinyl cutter & printed those out in 3M matte Black. 14"+1"Space+1" Stripe.
I was going to do the whole front to back but figured that it may look too cluttered on the back.... What do you guys think?
