    Thanks Guys.

    We love road trips, especially when we don't have any tight deadlines and can go where our whims dictate. You find the darndest things that way. Hardest part for me is I love driving so much, but love taking photos too. It's so hard when on a nice new, twisty road to just stop to take a picture instead of hitting another apex.

    Need another road trip to practice stopping to smell the flowers, etc. Hah!

    12K miles on the odo and we're headed to CA. WoohaH!!!

    Has anyone done this on their 355 and have photos online?

    My 355 just had the front bumper resprayed so I'm considering this or Stongard while it's fresh. I like Stongard since it's removable and I never had any problems after 6 years with my last 911. However, it hasn't worked out well on the GT3. Mainly due to the number of curves and the installer in Ohio did a poor job. Most folks appear to be happy w/ Stongard though.

    I'm on my 3rd application of the Stongard stuff on my 360 lights done by the local Stongard dealer/installer (since Steve didn't want to put the Armor Coat on the lights). The bubbles and creases just never went away. If it doesn't cure properly this round, the stuff comes off and doesn't go back on - ever.

    The Armor coat is still looking great and you can see where it's taking hits.

    It's been 3 years since the last post. How has this product held up over time? Any hazing or yellowing with age and UV?

    Also, can someone please help me find a distributor or shop near Vancouver Canada that sells or installs this product? My car is almost done getting painted and I'm really hoping my painter can do my bumper while it is off the car. Thanks!

    This thread is HILARIOUS! Reviving from the deeeeep reveals:

    RumorDude no longer has the F50

    TimF40 wasn't called TimF40 ... but now does have an F40

    Eric no longer has the 612 ... and has gone all "English" (poor fellow) and is "rolling large" Bentley styleeee.

    and, best of all, Cassini is enjoying an extended vacation, taxpayer financed, at "Club Fed"...

    I talked to my clear bra installer, and he said that he's seen the product, and there are a few problems with it. One is that it tends to leave dimples from rocks hitting it, and can look very bad after only a short time. The second problem is that it is not a VOC compliant product. Once Washington becomes VOC compliant just like California, anyone who has this product is screwed. If they get in an accident, then it can't be resprayed. What good is a warranty if it can't be sprayed on anymore? I have Venture Shield on 5 of my cars, 4 of them have the full hood and full fender treatments, no visible seams anywhere, and the texture is spot on to the rest of the paint job. I think I'll just stick with Venture Shield.
