This car sucks if doing with a kit. The bumper is a pain.

It really depends on the kit and the film.

We finished this car in 1.5 hours with avery...but I have the advantage of knowing the design fits and how it was designed to install.

is that 2 guys working on it at once?

Yep... The work conditions are not the greatest. We do most of the vehicles for this dealership in the parking garage; poor light and not exactly clean. Additionally, we leave no adhesive marks, stretch marks, dirt or other imperfections. Although this may seem normal in other markets, Vegas is semi saturated with half-ass installers damaging more cars than they actually protect. The only thing that separates us from them and validates our higher pricing is the quality of the installations we produce and our commitment to each client. Sometimes it takes a little longer, but we make it up with our pricing.

I have an Obsidian IS-F and I had a guy try to install. He spent over three hours and couldnt get it on the front bumper good. He also could not get the side view mirrors. He came back with a new one and spent another 3 hours and gave up. Any help for NW Miami Florida area? judyserra@bellsouth.net? Thank you

What makes this different from the IS250/350? All three are one in the same except for under skin packages?

The front bumper is different.

The front and rear bumpers, hood, fenders, rocker, fog lights and splash guards are all different.

Anyone with some exper. on this car could you tell me to the best of your ability were the tack points are on the ISF bumper?

Essentially just start around the tow hook, finish that side in a clockwise pattern and then do the other side in counter clockwise pattern. Diagram link is below.

      South facing windows DR film

      Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..
