Yesterday we took our SKY to a factory installer for 3M paint protector film. It took the installer about 5 hours to finish the job. The 3m kit upper for the hood is quite wide and covers 2 feet from the front edge of the front hood. Bumperkit and cowl kit also installed. I also had him custom cut film for in front of each back wheel, the area that flares out.
This stuff is fantastic! I was looking at it this moring and could barely find the hood line. You have to purposely look for the stuff from about 2 feet away to really see it. The installer did a wonderfull job. To give you an idea how the kit goes on, the bumper kit is about 2/3 the width of the front. As it is put on it is stretched to reach the other side. I personally would not want to tackle this job for fear of mucking up one of the pre cut decals. They are expensive to buy. The installer said he had several hundred dollars at his cost. I know kits can be in the $400 - 600 range for us to buy them. At that price, let an installer do it.
My total was $625 and covers the partial hood, bumper, lower cowl, front side fender, mirror fronts, and in front flare of rear wheels. Most installers will come to your garage to do the work.
Picture? I tried, but you have to shoot it at it's worst angle to the light to even get it to show up. Don't ask!
It came with a six month warranty from the installer, and 5 year warranty from 3m. I'm very happy with the results.
I will not mention the installer here for obvious reasons, but 3m has a website that can direct you to installers (hope I can say that!). Kappashield also offers a similar product.
My installer showed me 2 stone chips I have allready picked up in just 2 weeks.
