I have it on my IS. Almost invisible to the naked eye if done right (except for the seams). Personally, unless you have experience with installing this stuff, I'd get a professional to do it for you.

You got it off of EBAy or did you get it from somewhere else??? Can you tell me where you got it from so i can check the difference from the one on EBAY. And one more thing does it really help protect the car?? Did you get the full kit that includes the front hood front bumper side mirrors and fendors

Unless you have experienced installing one of these before, I suggest you leave it to the pros.

Have it installed professionally. My friend tried to save some $$ and installed it himself. Poor decision. Lots of bubbles and imperfections. He saved approx $100 for installation but I think he'll eventually spend almost twice because he's not happy about it and planning on going to Aero Tect soon to remove everything and have Francisco put in a new clear bra.

Aerotect's the best, but it's in CA.

Maybe you can pay for Fransisco's plane ticket?

I'm sure it'll be worth it.

LOL i dont think that will happen. i have been looking on EBAY but the thing is that if i get and try putting it on myself it will be hard because i dont have experience. But i will give it a shot since itsd only $25.00 for the whole kit.

$25? The headlight protector itself costs $49. I think what you saw from ebay for $25 was a "bid". Double check b4 u get screwed. Just a friendly advise.

I bought the 3M film from the dealer (installed). I am very happy with the results and the protection that it provides.

If you don't mind me asking... how much did it cost you installed?
