I had one put on my vette and it takes about 1 hr for 2 guys. its not that hard and very forgiving to install. after seeing them do it. lots of water and a credit card or a hand spreader. the kind they put auto bondo or body filler with. (not on vettes that is) its easier than installing window tint and along the same lines. you can find some clips on the web on how to. dont put it on if your car is a light color. I took mine off. Good luck

I do not recommending someone who is not trained on this. Trust me, I am a trained installer and it is not easy. Window tint is MUCH easier to apply, not sure who thinks otherwise. You will waste your money doing it yourself. It is NOT forgiving, and it is best left to spending extra money now to have it installed. Trust me.
with a pro.

Got my car done about 2x ago. When I left the shop I noticed some strected film and water pockets. The installer told me to give it a couple of weeks for the water to completely dry out and should remove the imperfections. Well it's been 2 weeks and there still some strected marks and now noticed some air pockets. It this common or should I go back and have them redo the job?
