I have never had a custy rag about the thing . Most of the top of the line cars only see the sun for a weekend and are indoor kept.The motor heads/cummuters only care about protection anyway. I prefer that fresh out the box look on my demo rides. I see this field growing in my area mostly with bumpers. Seems that New Yorkers are a wits end with bumper damage and have gone as far a hanging rubber mats out the trunk in the battle.

I have tried to install a PPF on a Honda Odysses three times and I just cant get it!!! WTF I am so pissed at myself. I have done 07 Vette(2), Sierra's and Escalades(4-5), Charger(1), and plenty of hoods and fenders but this 07 Honda is Killing me :rollin

I had to actually send the customer down the road with a refund my FIRST on ever since being 100% legite and on my own. I love the finished look and how the custy's cant tell that I install PPF when I'm done with the install but this thing has got me wanting to quit. Any advice? Is this thing just difficult or what?

if this bumper was easy.. every hack tinter would be wraping bumpers..Get the steamer fired up dude. 3 precut patterns in the trash would end it for most guys :lol2 . Or teach you the best lesson possible.

If you want to take a class in kits I would go to San Antonio but if you want to take a class in bulk I would go to Denver. I have seen kit guys turn to bulk installs but never see bulk guys go with kits. Most kit installers have to trim at some point in time or need to do an application that a kit has not been produced for and in my mind it is good to know both. By doing a bulk install it can save you time and money.

Go bulk! You can stretch and move the material any way you see fit to make it work. With a kit you are limited to how the person who designed it did it. And if you don't know how to contact them then you don't know how they did it. Manipulating the material to work best for your needs is way easier than trying to figure out what the needs of the kit designer were.

No I mean a lot!!! Like I couldnt even stretch it out I tried and im no small dude on the last try I accually wore through the film from streching it to much :beer

So is there a video or something that is GOOD? I have never seen anyone install a PPF kit so I just kinda go at it starting in the center and work out :beer

hey like people are saying try a steamer. you won't be dissapointed but the steam makes the stuff so soft that you can do anything with it. and steam also takes out creeses too. did I spell that right lol.

also try this http://www.computercut.com/public/Clearshi...ons/ODYSSEE.pdf and maybe your steps are a little off but this is what I have :beer

if that don't work try this :beer that makes even ugly women look good.

yup just take the custy out for a few drinks and then tell them how great it looks...

good luck man... I had the same problem with a g-6 was my first bumper. hated it...

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Take a look at 3M's Nightvision or LLumar's Dual Reflective series, they both have a warm tone to them.

      Steer clear of Black Armour, Suntek, ASWF. The others are good choices if you are in Australia. Check out the reviews of the installer too. It’s not just the materials that have to be proper. Never go for the cheapest!!!

      Residential Film without blue hue?

      Hey guys I am in the process of having window film installed in my home but have a question about which brand I should go with. Hoping yall can help me out. I have a room that faces a busy street and as a result my blinds pretty much always stay closed. I love having natural daylight but not so much people being able to see what i'm doing in my room/all my expensive equipment. I used to work in the window film industry as a helper/installer/salesman when I was in highschool and we did a lot residential/commercial work. The specific brand of film we used always left a certain blue and cool appearance. Is there any brand of residential film that does not have this effect? I mainly just cannot stand having blue light amplified and am looking for a film that has a neutral shade to it or even a warm/yellow hue. I have single pane windows and I do not necessarily care about heat rejection but if I have to pay more for a ceramic film rather than a dual reflective or a standard film I am willing to if that helps solve the issue. Again, any help is really appreciated with this there are so many new window film brands out there and it really is cool to see how far the industry has come.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?

      Hi All, How reliable are manufacturer provided Technical Specifications for Window Tint? I've compiled a list of tints based on manufacturer provided technical data & looking for insights into long term ownership with respect to scratch resistance, colour fade, impact on driver visibility, etc. Basically, I'm looking to narrow down the choice of products but different installers recommend different product lines. 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 35 for Front Side Windows 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Retro IRP 35 Nano-ceramic Black Armor Elite Nano Ceramic Series E38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP35 for Front Side Windows Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Fusion NX 38 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows Ultragard Fusion NX 27 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR40 for Front Side Windows Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR33 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic Window Film 35 for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR40 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 30 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 20 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP45 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP25 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP 35 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 35 ceramic for Front Side Windows SunTek Evolve 20 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 30 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-35 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S5-20 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-30 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S7-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S9-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Carbon 28 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension IRP 40 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows ASWF Dimension IRP 25 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Excel IRP 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Excel IRP 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension X DX40 for All Windows
