Thank you in advance

i only got the front bumper done on my STI. the shape of the car determines where the rocks would hit. the nose of the STI is high so i doubt much rocks would hit the forward part of the hood. i did not get the mirrors done.

on a sunny summer day i would say 4-5 days for full cure time. in the winter it can take as much as 3-4weeks, longer depending on temperature.

on my Z i did the front bumper, rockers, and the a-pillar.

since u dd, i recommend you do the full hood too.

initial cure time is about 3-4hrs under a heat lamp. usually by then u can drive the car through rain/snow with no peeling. i wouldnt wash the car for at least a week. no spray waxes or QD either during that period.

What's your thoughts about clear bra for Z headlights ?

I ask this question since I installed those new Nismo 2015 Headlights on my Nismo
Dang they look good the 2015 Nismo headlights

Honestly I've never seen in person or experienced cracked headlamps so it's up to you. Some folks on other cars have had lens damage from films (thermal expansion and contraction problems) so I'd be careful. This was from headlamp and fog lamp films.

True read that some Porsche owners learned the hard way

already had a small rock hit / chip on the right side of my new 2015 Nismo headlight

Will try and plastic polish and a lite buff to remove the small chip out

Thank you again
