i know i've asked this before, but now it's time to start getting everything lined up. i already chipped the paint on the front bumper (they'll fix it tmw) so here's the plan:

1/ let the paint cure.
2/ wax it up good.
3/ tow it to PHX to the installer
4/ have him do the front bumper (only up to the end of the bumper), side strakes

now, here's the questions:

1/ who do you recommend?
2/ do you know about how much they'd charge?
3/ do they use quality 3m gear?
4/ can't use a pre-cut one. are they good at cutting a bra?

price is not a concern, but it's gotta be done perfect ... for the installer's sake. cuz i'd hate to have to break him.

 

Don't do it.

 

lol i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. i already have several chips on my new bumper, and i haven't even been driving it a week. my body shop took it back today to finish up their work, and they're going to take care of it for now. he says he also plans to talk to some of the people he knows in town to see what he can do for me.

good people. i'm hesitant to do it as well, but this seems the best way to go atm.

 

Call Rick at Airpark Tint in Scottsdale 480-315-8468. He can cut a bra really well, don't know about the price though. Expect at least $300.00.

 

tks, scott. the body shop is getting some info for me as well. i'm real worried aobut them screwing it up. question ... was your install done with a precut kit or straight from a sheet? and i'm expecting to pay a lot more than that for it to get done right.

 

Mine was pre-cut kit but I also had him cut and fit a piece for the front lip area. He is a quality installer and believe me I wouldn't recommend him if he wasn't. I'm sure yours will be pretty expensive but trust me it'll be worth it!!

 

I wasn't joking. Do a search under "Stongard ruined my headlights" and you may understand why.

 

No one has put them on the headlights since 2001.

Whoever put on Seminole's did a great job. No yellowing or problems like yours Jim in over a year and a half. I think they are through the growing pains of lack of experience.

lol dude, take a look at my post count. there's not many posts that go by that i haven't trolled. i'm aware that sometimes things go wrong, but i'm sure not everyone has had all good experiences with S2000's either. that didn't stop me from loving the car. sometimes things go wrong, and in this case, there's definitely a lot that COULD go wrong, hence my hestation and serious homework to ensure it gets done right.

i don't play games with my baby. she's got too much money in her to start screwing around now.

 

thanks, bro. i'll let you know how it turns out. if my body shop doesn't have any good news for me, your guy is the first one i'm talking to.
