    Dam, I was gonna ask you about it today but forgot
    How much did it cost you and what parts did you get done? Cause they don't have a pre-cut for my car and doubt they had it for the Mugen Lude

    They said they had pre-cut ones for my car, but they actually just cut it once you get there and they have your car.

    Do the sides too.

    Sides as in mirrors? Fenders? Dam that would start to get pricey!

    I met one guy at a carwash (same car as me)

    He did hte mirrors and fenders (front facing part of it) and sides of the car, like sideskirts and a few inches up the doors, along with the usual parts in front.

    Maybe the headlights too...not sure.

    Anyways he said it cost him around 800 for everything. However i don't know which shop he got it done at..

    Too expensive but maybe good if you are really scared of rocks haha

    I second that one...

    I had mine done by his brother for $150 - hood, fenders, mirrors. Precut so no blades against your paint.

    I've seen a car with the 3M stuff underneath each door handle to prevent fingernail scratches.

    Also had it where the mudflaps mount, to prevent scratching from dirt getting between the mudflap and the body. He told me it's because he removes the mudflaps for summer.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

    so do they have a special type of protection for headlights/foglights? You know like something that won't melt? I have some foglights i want done... does anyone know how much they would charge for just headlights/fogs?
