same amount of maney as????? You didnt finish your statement.

And yes people that want to keep their car looking new do pay that kind of money. They wont have to deal with getting the paint resprayed every couple of years to keep the car looking good. many of the paints today are difficult to match and I have seen a lot of situations where the car has had to go in the shop multiple times to get it right. Now only does respraying kill your resale value but it is also a lot of time you are without the car. Replacing one headlight along is about the cost of an install... so it pays for itself many times over. And with a lifetime warranty... how can you go wrong?

I would recomend #2, Full hood is the way to go. I got my Nismo done, Bumper, full hood, full fenders, mirrors, side skirts, & around rear wheel well. You dont even know its on the car, & it gives you a little peace of mind when driving on the highway. Almost forgot . I also got the headlights done as well.

what if you decided to remove it? would the color look different? or would it be hard to remove?

The guy that did mine, says he removes it with a heat gun. Im sure it's a little tough to get off, but he says it won't damage the paint,(also. it's a lifetime warranty) as for color fade I don't think it would effect it. it's clear.

clear bra advice
 
I clear bra'd my 370Z, I advise covering the entire hood and fenders, this way if applied well nobody will know its there. partially covering an area leaves very noticable lines. you wont be happy with the results. I would not partially cover the roof neither. all or none. The car is too nice to half step it for the sake of saving money, you'll regret it. Keep me posted on your decision.

I just contacted a local installer/shop of speedshield. My brother works at Park Place Lexus in Plano (one of, if not the, top dealers around) and it's the company they subcontract for their customers.

Bumper, Partial Hood, Partial Fenders, Mirrors: $700

Bumper, Full Hood, Full Fenders, Mirrors: $1,100

The do good work from what my brother has heard and their site has some great info and pictures. I spoke with the owner at length and he was very helpful and knowledgable.

This particular shop is somewhat partnered with a detail shop too, and I was quoted about $165 for a full Zaino-style detail including a Dawn wax strip, clay bar, and polish. The car has to have the wax stripped before the installation anyways and they fact that I can have them clay my car at the same time is that much better. Plus once the bra is on, the detail company can then throw a couple layers of polish on it and I'll be double protected, plus lookin quite purdy.
