Fought the rain and traffic on Friday to drive the 59 miles to Metal Magic (Lou is amazing with painless dent repair, a true artist) in Tacoma. Even with the stop and go traffic, the 7 speed was a joy to drive and I still managed over 20 mpg. Talked to the guys about what I wanted, clear bra (Expel) and some tint on the side and quarter windows.
Got there just a little after 5 pm to drop off my C7.
Saturday, make the run back down to Metal Magic. Car is ready for me when I got there. I love the tint, just what I was hoping for. It's 50% so it's just enough to take the edge off while still being easy to see through. I understand the blacked out look but it's just not practical for me as I like to be able to see out at night….(that way I can see the SUV blinker go on just before he tries to occupy the same space at the same time with me on the freeway in the rain on the way home - Z51 brakes work really well, thankfully).
Xpel was done on the front bumper and about half way up the hood. The front of the rear view mirrors. Inside the door release areas. They also removed the factory protection behind the door in front of the rear wheels and covered the back half of the rocker panel all the way to the rear tire and up to where it meets the rear quarter panel so no edges are visible (cool!).
