Just got done putting Stongard on my front end...
It was alot easier than I thought. You just have to really take your time, have the proper tools and chemicals and patience. The car looks awesome with the clear bra on the whole front end. I will take pictures shortly after I finish doing a few final touches on the edges and reinstall my grill. This is a recommended mod defintely for anyone! It is guranteed to protect your car from rocks, debri, etc. My friends have been protected from tire shread and it didn't hurt the car!

Pics are up guys....sorry camera batteries were low, so about 2 came out slightly blurry but if you look really hard, you can see the edge of the line where it ends. It's very hard to see on silver. Black, White are really the only 2 colors that it shows up on easy.

Looks great, good job. I'm sure you'll enjoy it - there is a nice feeling of security when road debris is getting thrown up in front of you.
One point about 'wrapping around the edge': its not a stongard exclusive. The custom installation of stuff described at clearbra.net also wraps around the edges.

Yea it is very unnoticeable. My friend saw it today, and was unable to see it till he was almost on top of it. He personally still didn't like the lines, but I was like, either that or chips all over the front end. I like it better than a real bra.

Is the hood pics that Speedy put up, the same type of coverage you get from the X-pel (how far it covers the hood)???
Thanks!
