If anyone is concerned about cost, buy individual parts to a kit. Many places, such as www.invinca-shield.com will let you buy idividual pieces.

I am definately NOT a pro and the learning curve is short. Like I said in my previous reply, flat and edged surfaces are relatively easy. I installed the hood piece in 2 minutes. It's the curved surfaces which can be challenging. Just don't give up, keep working them, and they will adhere just fine.

If you plan to do it outdoors, which I did, just make sure it's 60 or above (indoors is preferable).

You make a slip solution (baby shampoo and water), place it on the film and the surface, then spray the 50:50 Alcohol:Water solution in one area to adhere. Commence squegeeing.

Unless you are just simply unable or unwilling to spend a couple hours doing this, go ahead and pay someone to. Otherwise you will be saving yourself lots of money.

 

I actually had to go to installation school (which costed a pretty penny.) Compared to other cars like say a Porsche 996 turbo which takes me a few hours to do, the s2000 is pretty easy.

 

Slick Rick, call me at the shop.

That's a shame. Something to remember "next" time .................................. One of the first things I do when I buy a new car is Zaino the paint and immediately put the film on it.

 

Yeah...I Zaino'd like crazy before...but for some reason, I was too cheap to spend the $100+ on a bra

I actually washed the car yesterday without putting on another coat of Zaino...Now, I almost feel like giving up on keeping the car looking nice...

How much would the re-paint on those 4 panels run me?

 

I forgot who it was that called me earlier... My phone died. I was out doing an install so I couldnt get back sooner. it's 3:42pm right now, so call me at 8584080744 until 7:00

 

all I can say is, I got it on my car within a few months of owning it. At the time, the only bay area installers were Detailwerkz in Campbell and I had to order the kit from Stonguard first and bring it down there to them to do it. And they needed like 2 days to do it. They did one lousy job. I would never recommend them because they suck!

 

LA People, I will be up in LA on friday doing an installation on a porsche GT2 at By Design. If you want to check it out, come check it out. I'll also have an s2000 full kit with me just incase someone wants it put on. For pricing, call me here at the shop... I'll be here all day today. 858-408-0744 ask for Phil

 

Do you wash your car in the normal fashion after applying these invisible bras? How hard are they to remove if needed?
