I'm picking up my white GT3 tomorrow and am going back and forth about doing the 3m shield or not. Needed for stone chips but doesn't look good.

Beautiful car. I went with 3m full hood/fenders, etc and I love it. But my car is black so some would say I shouldn't "have" a problem. Gotta love the clearbra.

Seems like a bunch are getting delivered. Got mine Monday. It's triple black. Love it.

I got film on 1/2 of the hood, all of the bumper, front of the fenders, mirrors. Wasn't 3M though. Can't remember what brand it was. The dealership did it. Getting the Lojack installed tomorrow.

GTSR - the viper was great.

The best car by far was the Spice GTP Group C1 car with a true Cosworth Formula 1 Engine (3.5 Liter DFR).

Thats the big F1 engine before they made them go to to the smaller 3.0.

A V8 that revved to 14,000 in sportscar trim.

Car pulled 4.5 g's near 8,000 lbs down force...

Norm....I was gonna do the clear bra also, but after a couple of washings, the clear rear fender guard is showing too much contrast against the white paint....I am now hesitating on doing the front end on a white car...I will put it on my orange RS when it comes, however.
