For a "small" upcharge  Fill the embossed letters  with clear epoxy . Let it dry and finish up.

At least you can call it the epic job

Years ago re did work for Research in Motion.

HAD to call it the RIM ____

The shop I work at is made much cooler when I peruse Tintdude

Thats a  purty machine

Have at it people.

@DynamicATL wrecked that last one!!

I used to shave with Manual Gillette but now sport  a beard.

Sorry I did not elaborate in my previous post. My hope is that Civic is going in "eyes wide open".

You are right . The coatings in newer glass are more efficient than in the old days.  The days of "consumable" film and 15-25 year re and re jobs may have passed.

I was just comparing the types of resi clients needing help with privacy and glare in civics post to commercial ones that do see film as a help in the  energy costs  more readily even with a long ROI .While the typical resi project does get some help for the mechanical load the numbers involved don't really even matter. People move to a new home usually long before any ROI is realized.

We have done multiple residences for some clients that move and have been very happy with the benefits of Sun Control and Security films and want it in the new place.

The commercial building client on the other hand will be there for some time.

If he (sorry I assumed "He") is going to pursue flat glass installs he will need to understand the potential energy savings of  film and the ROI when approaching these types of projects.

I hope the manufacturer Civic is using is one that will help him in any energy audits.

Energy savings is an easy sell on a  large commercial space. The ROI for resi is much slower

Always good to have tools that keep your @$$ nice and shiny.

Be sure to read up and understand which films/ glass combos  your manny shows as "high risk" .

If custy insists on a given risky film . Get them to sign off that they understand zero warranty and they will eat it not you.

A few years ago a glass shop lost tens of thousands of dollars  replacing glass we told him would break and would have zero warranty due to the risk.

The replacement glass was "film safe" and got us a second set of installs.

He now insists that HIS custy signs off on the risk when these situations come up.

Send all the ice cream to my freezer in my basement for a small storage fee.....and install digitally printed perf graphics with lots of white on the exterior glass.

Some of the ice cream may still be in the freezer when they want some

I like it, but I think you should add limited lifetime warranty instead of lifetime warranty. That’s only because your verbiage will be inline with the manufacturer, other than that everything looks good. Are you having that printed out on vinyl or just on poster board?

I have to agree with TM. Don't make statements about a film the manufacture won't back up.

You will have enough things chewin on your @$$ . Paying out when you don't need to should not be one of them.

Ever notice when you use google to find info on something a competitors ads show up?

I googled Falken tires  but not any competitors

http://www.falkentire.com/tires/light-truck-suv-cuv-tires/wildpeak/t3w-tire

A day or so later I get ads for similar BF goodrich tires......

Try it with your shop name . Wait a few days. See what ads make an appearance.

Next month try a competitor and see what shows up.

Some time ago I typed Wendys when I had a hankerin for a frosty  and "did you mean Mcdonalds" showed up in the correction area..

Just sayin

Woof?

And its FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
