yeah I know. I have my car at the shop getting painted now and I want them to do it while it is there, but supply them with the material and could probably buy it online much cheaper then at my stealership.

I bought mine off of Ebay and installed it myself. I've had it on for about 5 years and it still looks fine. Just make sure you pick up a 3M one and not one that's only $20.

word of warning... Id let your paint job cure for a good week before putting a clear bra on it. I've seen the paint lifted right off a hood that was fresh out the shop.
