any pics on how this might look?

 

Do a search on "stongard" to see. However, be advised that Stongard is not the only company out there that sells this stuff. It's 3M Scotchcal film. The prices have ranged from just under $500.00 USD to over $1000.00 installed. Other companies such as "Clear Bra", "Xpel", etc also sell these pre-cut kits. I bought the kit only and did the installation myself. The kit cost me the equilvalent of about $200.00 US. I could have had the whole thing installed for $60.00 for the big piece and another $30.00 for the remaining smaller pieces but I wanted to do it myself for the experience. The big piece can be tricky but not beyond the average mortal with some dexterity. It has saved the front of my car on several occassions. It can later be removed, if desired, without any harm. I also put a thicker 3M on the headlights.

 

What is it? A piece of clear plastic? Like shelf paper?

 

Any creases?

 

3M Scotchcal is a completely clear plastic with a peel off backing. Once peeled off, that side has a sticky adhesive. The paint protector is about 8 mil thick. The headlight protector ranges from 20 mil to as thick as 80 mil (for max protection). I have 40 mil but my 3M dealer prefers to use 20 mil because it conforms to the contours of the headlight better. When I said the big piece can be tricky, I meant it can develop a crease which is a booger to get out. When done by a professional, this is not a problem. I have a crease that took me quite a bit of effort to get out but I did get it out. When it's on the car properly, it's like the front end of the car has been "vacuum" packed with plastic. It's optically clear and from most camera angles, cannot be seen. From more than 10 feet away, it is invisible to the naked eye. I swear by this stuff and have used it on the headlights on every car I've owned for the last 15 years. This is the first car I've used it for the paint. It does not need polishing (unless you want to). Go to a place that does this and see for yourself on some of the cars they've done that day.

 

Wow! Not bad. I never knew this stuff existed. I'm preety good w/ my hands and like doing things on my own, but now I just have to find somewhere close in NY to get the film and to see how it looks in person. ( Not like I care in the winter ).

Doing searches, but can't find anything close.

Anyone in NY know anything about this?
