Exterior Window Film

Midtown Houston · February 14, 2016

I just installed an exterior tear off film on a Porsche Turbo for one of my customer. He is planning to take it on the track and after doing his research.....he came across a brand call Racing Optics. He bought the film from one of their dealer and bought it to me to install. Took me a hour to shrink this 8mil film.....Came out very nice....planning to put it on my cars.

My question to you guys is.....Do anyone of you installed exterior film to protect the windshield....and if so what brand do you recommend.

I am a 3M and Huper Optik Autobahn dealer in Houston...After installing this product, I am thinking about adding this to my business. I think a good exterior film would market well to my customer.

NASCAR has quick tear off stuff,,wonder what brand that is

Racing optics is one of the brands.

I don't understand the need for 8-mil in this situation unless it is a stack construction. 4-mil was the norm in Nascar until layering came along. Pro-Tint of Kannapolis North Carolina became big in this (not sure of their participation today).

As to use on personal (public) vehicles, it has a long-standing existence and reputation of going nowhere in terms of sales. Good Luck.

I say it might be worth it if you are near a track...do couple of cars and the word would spread there. Otherwise not sure how it will do.

I read about Clearplex which is from Madico.....It is a durable clear film for the general public use. The Racing Optics is more for track car and we have a badd ass race track call MSR in Houston.

I don't know too much or know of anyone installing exterior film.....if any member are currently selling exterior film on car...I would like suggestion on which durable brand to carry.

I have looked at Clearplex for windshields...just not sure on pricing to see if it will sell or not.
