I called mazdacomp. they shot me a price of $1600 with the discount. This sounded rageously high so I just told them I'd start digging in junk yards.

I have that stuff on my DD. The guy before me loved it and basically wrapped all his cars w/ it. It is PERFECTLY clear and you can barely see the seams.

Ive been thinking about doing that to my 7. Thanks for the link Jim.
