Just to update everyone, my install was yesterday. Though I originally thought I was going to have the 3M installed, it turned out that he used the Ventureshield (manufactured by Avery) due to a bit more clarity with that film. According to the installer, both the 3M and Avery are right around the same 8.0-8.5 mil. thickness, as pointed out in another post. The install took about 8 hours, as Alan was extremely meticulous with the entire procedure. The front bumper is definitely a challenge, especially with the stripes. I must say it turned out better than I expected, and a very small bit of orange peel can be seen on the stripes (since they are black), but 50% should disappear when it completely dries/cures. I'm happy that I can finally take it out and not worry about damage from rocks, lovebugs (for those of us in FL), etc. Hopefully it will be money well spent.

Cheers,
