Default 3M Clear protective vinyl

Does anyone know where you can find this stuff? I think i saw a pre-cut kit once. Id like to do it myself if possible, to help protect the front end as much as possible.

3M only sells it directly to application shops and kit mfgs.. You can't buy it "retail" in small quantities. I've had very little luck trying to buy it from applicators, except for "scraps". It's pretty expensive. You can find it online from 3M wholesale distributors.

www.invisiblemask.com There are different kits in catalogs one and two. I just purchased the bumper kit for now from catalog two. If my installation goes well, I will purchase the other kits(roof, rocker panel, hood and mirror). Prices for one bumper kit was around $120 and I think around $180 for the one I bought!

No it's great.
Be warned for such a simple product you will put hours and hours
applying and finishing and I hope you do a good job. The material
is fairly unforgiving. But go for it have plenty of beer on hand
and a nice radio-good luck.
