It seems to be pre-cut 3M clear tape.

from what i hear its a bit more heavy duty than that

[99pewterv6]

Yes it is, it is suppost to prevent rock chips and bug guts from messing up the paint on the front end. I was just wondering if anyone had this installed on their car or know of someone who does and if it's worth getting.

send an email to the guy who runs www.waxstation.com

he visits a lot of car shows around here and he highly recomends the stuff. he doesnt sell it i dont believe, but he can give you a great testimonial and probably let you know where to get it at. he claims, i believe, that it was originally used on helicoptor rotors to keep them from getting torn up. pretty strong stuff i guess. all i know is he had it on his truck, and the truck looked really good.

i was thinking of getting that for ym gtp, cause ive had it for a week and ive already found new chips on the front end :mad: ****ing truck drivers its all your fault

[awesomeame]

can that stuff be put on our composite (flexible) front ends? like will it still stick if you lean against your can & push the plastic in a bit?

I remember that some people had that stuff on their Trailblazers a while back and it was fine with the plastic front bumper. Shouldn't be a problem for the Camaro or Firebird.

They sell kits for just about every car (newer i think). Right now at invinca-shieldthur october its 10% off. For a v6 or z28 (non ss) it is $219.70 Shipped. Should i get it now? I am really interested in it.

I'll get it if you get it! :D
I think I need the one with the GFX

I have that kit for my Formula. Its a great product...BUT....there's one problem. It has too many slits in it. It looked pretty bad on my car because of all those slits so I took it off. I still have the pieces on the headlight doors and hood and it's great. Supposedly Invinca-Shield is working on a new design that would be one piece for the Firebirds and Trans Ams and it doesnt appear he's done that yet :( . I am told Expel offers a one piece kit and its suppose to be the same 3M product

Take a look at the pic. Its #6 that was looking so bad. You can see the ton of slits in it.

Well i ordered mine for the 99 camaro!

[99pewterv6]

Just got mine in the mail today!! But it looks like i will have to wait till spring to install it scince its getting cold now. [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]

Don't you have a garage to work in?

Well, I got mine on Monday and installed the Nose and RT GFX piece yesterday. For the most part the nose fit pretty good, but some cutting was required since the sticker IS flast and the nose is not. So there is a vertical line from emblem to tip now.
Also, the GFX piece does not cover from tip to end. The rear of the sticker looks like it's for the part next to the wheel, but the frt of it fits the tip of the frt. So I placed the leading edge of the sticker at the tip of the gfx, but the rear had too much material!! On top of that a lot of extra material cuz of all the curves. I trimmed some of the top and bottom of the trailing edge. I also cut it into 2 separate pieces or else it WILL NOT fit.
$177 and you still need to cut it urself :rolleyes:

wouldn't the cold affect the 3m plastic after i got it installed in the garuage? Invinca-shield was the cheapest place to get it. Some places wanted over 400$ for a complete kit! Tell me how the whole install goes. Whats the temp in your area?
