Looks great, any kind of rough guess on what a bodyshop would charge to install.

I actually have no idea, as we installed it ourselves. Anybody with a body shop want to answer that????

I know the LN and the 3M stuff we used to bond it was roughly $35 and we used 1 tube.

I would think that 3M would make some kind of adhesive for this. Looks very nice and priced right.

They do, it's a fiberglass/plastic bonding agent that works really really well

Very nice! If and when I give my LMB a "facelift", I'll pull the trigger.
BTW, your car looks fantastic overall.

Thanks for the updated pics as they have answered a question I had. I think it's an awesome product but not right for me as the surfaces are no longer smooth with the lines of the hatchback glass or front a pillars and it is quite noticeable.

How does it hold up to sun and ultraviolet, I read someplace carbon fiber must be protected from long exposure to sunlight. Nice looking pieces.

If you are constantly in the sun (no garage), it should still last a couple years. You can have a body shop wet sand and re-clear, but make sure they know Carbon (it can haze).
