No More Blue Tape! and other goodies...
Well, after driving around with a blue nose for almost a month, my appointment finally came. Let me just say it was well worth the wait. I've seen the pre-cut pics posted by other members, but the custom bumper Sam & his crew just put on is absolutely incredible.
You have to look REAL hard to find where the notches are...
Tint is all done now too...
And some new decorations, 'cause you know a girls' gotta have her jewelry
That's all for now. I just wish Lexus would hurry up with the other accessories.

did you have any problems taking off the blue tape? Did the tape actually work in protecting the from bumber? For some reason, I thought the tape would be too thin to protect anything. What is your opinion on the tape idea?
I might have to do the same if I can't schedule an installer right away. My G35 on the way home from the dealership got a chip on the bumper and within a week a chip on the glass. This time I don't want to take any chances.

Lookin good Jean !!
Sam does another awesome job as expected. The biggest difference in his work is that he makes every effort to wrap the "Whole" bumper and to wrap around corners, to avoid bare spots and seams.
I haven't seen this level of "seamless" work performed by most other clear bra installers anywhere.
Sam will do "pre-cut" film installs for less, but this is definitely one area where you get what you pay for.
The blue tape job was done quite good as well, but I will not miss it !

Glad you liked my tape job. It was definately worth doing, but , I too, am not gonna miss it. Sam even mentioned how clean the front end was. He and his crew did a great job and they even came 30 minutes earlier than expected.

Very nice!!! Car is coming along fairly fast. Is it even a month since you got it? I got a little something coming too. Maybe we should do a little mini meet with my friend with his IS350. That would be 2 IS350's and 2 GS's. Hey, I don't get any credit for helping with the tape job. Sheesh!!! 
J/k! Great job with the rest of it Will. That looked pretty hard. So I left at 10 and you finished up around 12?

Yes, you do get credit for helping with taping up the hood. It took me awhile. But it was worth the time, effort, and all the people staring at the car on the road.Btw, thanks for all the complements folks.
