A buddy on mine had a Killer Custom Paint Job done and had the removable, invisible Bra. So far it has worked great. It's been on a couple of years now and he drives the snot out of his car.

He did the Power Tour last year among other fairly long drives.

I will definately put it on my car.

What's the stuff you have?
It's XPEL.. it a film that is applied much like window tint. It was developed by 3M to protect the leading edges of rotor blades on helicopters (military).

I think the person that makes these available in pre-cut kits for early musclecars would make a lot of sales.

The only thing I like better is the type that can be removed and reapplied. Would be nice to slap some on for track days and such.

you can buy in sheet form but pre-cut is SO much easier.. go for it!

I'm in too. At the track we always use armor all for the day. It would be nice to have something more permanent

Ok, now that most of you agree that this is something a lot of you might do. What would you pay if you could have it installed for you from pre cut pieces? Or pre cut peices shipped to you. No, this is not something I'm doing, but something the shop may have someone do if there is enough interest in pre cut pieces. Also if anyone already makes this stuff, speak up.

Ok, the guy how was doing this type of thing is really swapped right now, and it doesn't look like it's going to happen. Does anyone know where or who I can go to, to have this done on my car?

I think it would be cool to wrap my harness bar in it so the harnesses wouldn't wear the paint....thoughts?
