Thumbs up Have you been AeroTected lately??? Custom Install on the 2008 IS350!!

Ok the story goes like this... 3+ Years ago I was looking for a local shop to install some 3M Stone Guard on my 2004 IS300 Black Chrome Headlights..

Through Google I was able to find AeroShield... At the time they did limited automotive work and focused on Airplanes mostly...

But Francisco (owner) was kind enough to accommodate an install for me at his house... since I had little time to get these done!! I think I was his 1st set of Lexus IS300 Headlights...
Through the years we became good friends.. They have done a few small installs for me and a couple of family members cars...

Since then Francisco & Jeanne, of the re-named AeroTect, have expanded the family business and have truly give their finest touch in creating a wonderful shop & customer service to the highest standards!!
After all, they have been serving the Club Lexus Community Members since 2005..!!

This week I had my 2008 IS350 fully protected by AeroTect..

Francisco & Jason did a superb job on my install and surpassed all my expectations of how it would look at the end...
Believe it or not.. I personally never had a Full Paint Protection Kit installed on my own car.

On the exterior they did the 24" hood smile kit with wrapped edges on the hood and fenders, front bumper, side mirrors, splash guards on fenders, door cups and Blue Head & Fog Lights..
I will be going back for the lower door valences next week...

Here are a bunch of photos of various stages during the before/after install...

Francisco & Jason worked together in almost a mirror image in completing my car and keeping me extremely happy!!!

I highly recommend them over and over again to anyone in Southern Ca, looking for Quality Work and Great people all together!!!!

Hands down I am 110% satisfied with the work AeroTect did for us!!!!!

Thank You AeroTect!!

Joe Z

Wow that looks realy good. Can you even tell that there is plastic over the paint or no? Also how much did that cost to do? Can you take the same steps for washing, and clay bar, and wax?

Thanks.

Thanks for the nice comments Gang!!!

For pricing you may call them directly..
They are running a Club Lexus special for all members... or just let them know you want the "Joe Z - Package"

The Venture Shield product (material) they use can be maintained just like the Lexus paint...
Regular cleaning and waxing will prolong its life of course!!
The only visible line you can see is on the hood, but with the smile cut, it all depends where you are standing and the lighting.

^ A bit much for who???
To tell you the truth, I haven't taken the car out since I picked it up last week... I had several work projects to deal with this week and I was patiently waiting for my appt @ AeroTect...
Thurdsay I was able to give it its 1st wash and drove it a few miles to their shop.

Now it just needs another wash and a wax!!!

^^ I am sure there are Paint Protection kit installers out there...
I know they have held training weekends & workshops in several different states, not sure if they reached Florida yet...
You can always call them & ask if they can refer you or if they recommend a shop in FL.
