is this for tint?

3M makes a lot of products.

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

This would be for the clear bra.

RedHOT

please tell me you didn't go to rocky the dent man?

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

Rocky the dent man? No i went to a guy in NJ. He knows Glen from PA.

RedHOT

Sorry to burst your bubble... But 3M only makes 48in wide sheet... There is no way they could have done your hood in 1 piece... Did you actually see the 3M film come off the roll??

scfa

Who did the install? 3M does NOT make over a 48" clear film. Did they give you a 3M warranty card? If so call 3M and file a grievance.

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

Guys, yes it was official 3M clear bra. I was there when he opened the factory sealed 3M box and took out the brand new 3M roll. I will be posting pictures soon. Also he put the 3M warrantee card on the door jamb of the car with all the info. I dont have pictures of that but its there.

potmilkz

question still remains unanswered..

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

Yes I did. I help him position it over the car before he cut it from the roll.

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

Ok I finished resizing the pictures and deleting a few to be able to upload these. Multi-Tasking is my middle name. Here they are.













The famous 3M roll.
































Done!!!

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

I had to kill Ya'll to keep it 100!!!

RedHOT

Pics look great man... I'm still at a loss for what the product is the installer actually used...

3M Scotchgard is what I assume you were looking for see the rolls sizes in the attached link...

3M also has the VentureSheild product that comes in bigger sizes...

Regardless it looks good and will likely hold up for the entire life of your lease.

What does this film protect the car from or is it simply an aesthetic thing? Would it start to peel off during the intense northeast weather?
Looks good nonetheless, but please change those rims! hahahaha

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

Yo Redhot - I think that it must be available to installers only. Like through their chanels.

Yo Diddy - The film is made to protect your paint from small rocks and the like. I ordered new rims already. They are the 18" stock SH-AWD ones in silver. I have 18" snow tires from Vredestien so I need 18" wheels.

RedHOT

It's the 48in roll. Just talked to Glen. It will fit the hood but has to be cut by hand.

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

ohhh cool. My mistake!
No one notices the ASIMO doll on the mirror?

Can wait to see those rims. I saw a 12 TL in my hood with those rims and it looked sexy as fuck. Gonna go back outside and see if I can snag a few photos hahaha

maddogtheta

Looks like a good install, I wish i had gotten the whole hood done, I now have rock chips above the 1/3 of the hood that is covered. I think you are definitely going to appreciate not having the front of your car chipped up from road debris

potmilkz

how much did it cost.

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

More than I wanted to spend. I found an installer on the 3M website. Monstercoatings in NJ. The guys name is Laszlo. Pretty cool dude.

B.G.

Looks like dude did an awesome job! Nicely done I must say How long did it take him?

potmilkz

do you plan to put lip kit on?

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

It took all night. Started at 9PM finished at 4 AM.
No I don't plan on putting the lip kit.

one of the first things am gonna do it i ever get my 05 repainted....

Skytech, LOVE IT!

It looks like the guy did a good job too, wrapping the 3M clear underneath.

Now, on to the new wheels!

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

The wheels have been ordered and I am working on the tires and the TPMS.

Then I will be done.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

you will never be done !!!

3.5 years of experience on Acurazine says so

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

No i will be. I have limited myself.
What i have left are the wheels, tires, TPMS, maybe weathertech floor liner and thats it.

Looks Nice!

Did you order the silver or gunmetal wheels? I am going to be selling my 18" Gunmetal SH wheels in about a week or two

SYTLSHAWD

So what are the parts covered?

Hood, Bumper, Fender, Mirrors, Headlights, Fog+turning signals? Anything else?

Mr.Skytech

iTrader: (13)

Yo Black - I got the silver ones on Ebay because no one here has them. Not even the stupid Acura Parts department can get them. They say that its a part number change. Its more than that, its a color change as well.

Yo Sytlshawd- Those parts that you mentioned have been fully covered. I do want to cover the rear bumper as well since some people here in NY can't park for shit.

desiguru

For a second I thought you were talking about matte black, and I was like this could be interesting, but the clear 3m was a smart move, I regret not doing that on mine, especially, when you do a lot of highway miles and 18 wheelers are spilling debris everywhere!!

Im thinking of using SolarGard for all 4 doors. I dont like finger nail scratches inside the handles. Also thinking of doing the side skirt by the door sills. I always get scruff marks from my shoe.
