I have had it on all of my cars (98 Nissan Maxima and 2004 Subaru STI) and it lasts a long time. I won't be putting it on the Rx7 because I don't drive it that much.

i saw a veilside rx7 at rotorsfest with it this year. i could barely tell it was on there until i got really close up. i would think the color of the car determines how visible it is. this car was silver. its definately a really cool idea.

I have it on My car that is midnight Blue. If it is installed by a professional it is hardly seen. The edges of the 3m are the only really visible part. If You have a fiberglass front end this stuff is a must. I also have it down the bottom of the car to protect from road debri and the back to protect the paint from the hot rubber.

I could take some close ups but I doubt You will be able to see it on the car.

you should post it anyways, that way people can see how "invisible" it is.

Seems to me it depends a lot on the color of the paint.

A friend of mine just did his new Volvo S60. It is a pearl-white color. The 3M film looks really, really bad on this car as for some reason it eliminates the "pearl" look of the paint that it covers.

no, not an option, i dont think they were even around back then. my ex's family had it on all their cars. 4 hondas. my ex had the dark blue civic, i didn't even know it was on there for the first 4 months we were dating. then she got a white one, and i looked and could barely see the lines. definately cool stuff. done at the dealer, so installed by a pro. i would love to get it done on various places on the car after a repaint. cool stuff.
