That's a random one. I did this 97ish S90 a few weeks ago 

Definitely had some quote requests on some odd older rides recently.

That'd be a fun one with the reverse curve to the rear window. We had two of the 2drs when I was a kid

Little bit of White Matte and Feather Gradient. Almost got thrown off the job because I removed my mask for a few minutes while in the sweltering hot/humid pool room by myself, in a hotel that has yet to open with maybe 3-4 people in the whole entire building. Fun times...

Nice work tinteastwood The only issues I have with that type of film is getting any little creases along the edge or contamination it really shows up any tips or tricks?

Not sure if you mean the White Matte or Gradient film....

 

White Matte definitely doesn’t like creases or any stress in the corners. If you get any it will take a while to dry enough to lay it down. Usually a day or so, maybe an hour or two if it gets direct sun. I just try to roll it out smooth and use factory/straight cut edges as much as possible. Giving relief cuts in the corners when trimming really goes a long way to not stress the film so it lays flat. 
 

For the gradient/printed films I will precut exact sizes (enough to get in the frame a bit) and avoid cutting on the glass altogether. These films have a super sticky adhesive and don’t like to be slid around for placement. So use A LOT of slip/water and try to place it VERY close to where it needs to go because you will only have a couple seconds to slide it around before the adhesive will start tracking. Takes forever for those track marks to dry out, if at all.
