I'm about to do my targa. I'm off to check out 3m's site to see the gloss now.

Heres pics from what I did with it in the mazda.

In my case I had to cover it. The mazdaspeed6 dash trim doesn't match up with the single din kit which is mainly used in non speed6's. So I covered all in this so you didnt see the difference in finish.

Arctic this stuff is not made to prevent rock chips. I have it on my hood and a couple of rocks have gone right through it. Yes it will stop the small stuff but large rocks will tear it easily. Paint protection film is the only option for preventing rock chips... not clear vinyl as you refered to it. I have been installing clear bras for 8 years now. The 3M carbon fiber vinyl looks nice but its for looks only.

Your Radio bezel looks really good, I think I am going to do this, but it does not look easy. Do you have a total what it cost you to do the interior? Also anyone know how this stuff will hold up in the engine compartment with the heat. Thought about doing the washer tank, overflow tank, top of radiator,ect...

I’ve seen some local cars with this product on interior trim pieces and it really looked good. Online pic’s really don’t do it justice.

Nice job Qwik:thumbs:

A guy in our car club used it on the interior of his C4 and it really turned out looking pretty good!

Well, we've had several cars with damage to the material and not the paint beneath. I didn't say it's intent is to prevent rock chips, but it certainly provides a barrier of protection and I've redone several vehicles due to damage to the material and not the paint beneath.

We use an 8mil thickness film for clear applications...and it's generally referred to as clear vinyl. Why pick apart my words because you have 8 years of experience puttin on vinyl...who cares? Shall we compare resumes now?

Flames!? Shoot, thanks for posting that thing looks SWEET!

Ummmm, duh bro. A LARGE ROCK...no matter what you mean by large, of course it will do damage to vinyl graphics

The "wraps" will no doubt protect your paint better than just some plain ole wax or nothing at all. From rocks or whatever.

Thank you :cheers:

I would LOVE to see a rear lower facia done with this stuff, It would be a lot cheaper than paint, and you can remove it if you want to go back to the stock look, Anyone have a pic of this????

This is from another thread....

Your butt looks sweet!!! Was it hard to get it into the louvers, and what was the cost to do this?

The lower facia is almost if not impossible to do because of the vents. If you noticed on the photos of the door trim, the installer had to cut the product to have it bend in to the openings. Did not matter because you would not see it, but on the rear vents you cannot do that.

This was not a vinyl wrap, it was painted. I talked to teh owner and he did it with two different shades of paint and used cabinet shelf liner to get teh pattern.

:thumbs: great job

Oh dang, I read through and tried to figure out whether or not but couldnt, thanks for the clarification.

It may be possible to stretch that vinyl in the holes of the rear. If I didnt a black vette I'd do it hands down.

I love it. There's a few places on my Saabaru I'll have to try this on.

Thats what 3m's Guarantee says apparently...vette.mix You live in Frederick yet I NEVER see that gorgeous blue coupe drving around!!
