I posted up a thread, so we'll see what reponses look like once some time passes.

If any of you on the west coast are considering this, it appears you have a better chance of finding an installer. lol

Here is a link to the thread I started, just in case you wanted to check in for yourselves.

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread.php?t=223277

A ballpark figure of $600 seems to be accurate, but it could be more or less depending on who does the job, and how much of the car you want to cover. The bumper obviously needs to be protected, but I'd especially do the lower areas of the front fenders, and potentially a portion of the hood (should it not be bothered by rotary heat). My mirrors don't really encounter much road debris (lowered car), but people choose to get them done anyway.

Thanks Kayin. If you go to the link I posted above, you can search for applicators in VA, then do NOT pic a city from the submenu...and just click on the "View Applicator List" button and it'll show all 16 installers in VA. There are a bunch in our area (NoVa). And there's 17 in MD, w/ a few in our area as well.

Prob is, I'm looking for someone who's highly recommended, ie someone that ppl have used and have good things to say. I'm not too fond of taking chances in trying out someone

No problem. Just keep checking in on the thread. Thus far, anything listed has been actual work carried out on the individuals car, and based on what I've seen over the past few months, nobody has had less than great work done so far. If you want any specifics, let me know and I'll bounce around a few PMs. I'll see if I can narrow it down to a few shops with #s closer to you or wanklin.

Thanks for doing that, I will certainly keep an eye on that thread.

Has anyone had this #M film installed on an FD? I looked into this a few years ago and I couldn't find anyone that had installed or had installed in on an FD. The curves might make it a nightmare to install.

The FD shouldn't be too bad, as all cars generally demand the same attention to detail. I've seen an NSX done, and as you'd expect, it takes a skilled individual to actually be qualified to do any work.
