If you are going to have it done, make triple sure that the installer does not cut the material on the car, no matter how he tells you that he can do it without cutting your paint.

Edit: When I was in business over ten years ago, my average price for a car was $1,800 but I did almost exclusively high end and exotics. Also did a lot of whatever was the popular enthusiast car of the day, but I would tell them the same thing I'm telling you. Price for a cobra back then was $1,100. You will probably be able to find someone willing to ruin your paint for as little as $250, but don't worry, you won't see the clearcoat cuts until you remove it.

Mike,

I agree. I decided to have it installed on my SPF when I bought it new 8 years ago. I've found that I have some chips right on the line of the clear bra, and it started to be a little noticeable in bright sunshine.

What is the process to remove it? Is it possible?
