Shadow tinting also

most compact cars are around 150 for the strip on the hood, fenders, and mirror.

more for a more complete set like the bumpers or sides.

Honda/Acura use shitty paint.

Lots of people complain about the paint quality on RSX's.

There is a place on Macleod trail, at the husky across from the holiday inn and A&W, 150 bucks. I don't htink he has many cars though, he didn't have mine.

I have it on the front of my car...looks fine and works well, got mine at shadow tint. FWIW, if you have just painted your where you plan to put the 3m stuff, wait at least 1 or 2 weeks before putting it on.

Yes, go with Darren. He did an amazing custom job for my RS4 bumper. I swear by his work.

we got ours done at the Car Salon, by RPM Racing, its in the next bay over. We got the front of our hood, our mirrors done, and some other front peices. And soon we're going to go get our lower side door panels done. The lower side panels on our doors took a beating from the winter rocks :S

Trim line uses 3m and they are the authorized dealers of 3m products...They hit the bank though..

Yes, highly recommended on new cars. I got mine and so far only 2 stone chips above my 3m protected area in 2 years. my friend's wrx, without the bra has probablly like 20-30 dings all over.

Of course, unless you drive really slow...

I'm getting my hood repainted. Usually you are told not to wax the car for 3-4 months, are you sure its only1-2 weeks to wait to put this on?
