Hey Sid, if it was me I'd go with the 3M clear bra. I was fortunately enough to get my hands on a small piece that was left over from the shop. I used this on my fog lights, lol.

I don't see anyone selling the 3m. I have one on the supra and it's ok. Not worth $350 though...

I would use 3m, I saw a video comparing 3m against other brands.

DO NOT BUY THAT! Its junk. It isnt real paint protection film... its clear vinyl. Most of the ebay stuff is garbage... I have seen numerous people waste their money on it. I even tried to install a kit for a buddy of mine who got one and it was nearly impossible for me... and this is wht i do for a living. Plus it looked terrible and left all of the adhesive on the paint when it was removed. if you want to do a self install at least buy film from a repuatable company. Suntek would be the easiest for you to install... but Xpel Ultimate and Avery Nano Fusion are two other quality films.

3M is the best way to go. Also....you get what you pay for.
