It is worth it if the installer is very experienced and will give you great results.

yeah, what a shame, 2 new cars from her, and she's working towards the 3rd one.... blood sucking man i am telling you

but coming back to aerosheild, i think it's perfect, it's like 2 miles at most from longo. i explicitly said that i didnt' want to drive the car off teh car before the clear bra goes on. so the clear bra was put on the car before i took delivery, what else can i say

The Lexus Dealership here quoted me 329 for a clear bra. Is this the same type that you guys are getting for 600 out in CA?

What parts of the car are covered? What kind of film is used? Make sure you see some previous example of their work.

They told me its a product from 3M, which is the same type of product that aeroshield uses. Went to the dealership to see it, looks exactly like how they do it on the aeroshield web site.

Default Go for it!

We had the Red/Cream GS300 treated before we even took possession of it. It's been about 5 weeks now and I already see several hard dents in the plastic that would have chipped the dog snot out of the paint had the plastic not been there.

Don't hesitate. It's one of the best initial investments you can make on a new car.

Default It's great

if it is installed properly . Had my 06 300rwd done for around 600 bucks.
Unfortunately it took the dealership 3 times before it was even half way acceptable to the them.
They did this before I took delivery so this was a no hassle situation for me.

They did not have a template to go by. It was the first one that the dealer had done on the 06 300.
It's going to be replaced again because it has some minor flaws in and around the lower lamps
and few small bubbles. The clear shield is covering the front end,front part of the front fender, hood and mirrors.
