If you don't turn up any responses from folks with experience you can have a look here on 3M's website and look for certified installers in your area:

I've used Susan from Auto Images (612) 716-1955
She comes to your work or home. She has done about 8 vehicles for me.

I stand corrected; she has actually done 13 vehicles for me since the year 1998. That includes Camaro, Corvettes, Cadillacs, Suburbans, my kids' Grand Prix and Mustang. She is an independent that is trained by 3M and also has worked their booth at the Back to the 50's Show held yearly at the MN State Fairgrounds. Never a problem. She does many high end import cars at local dealerships. One of our sales reps who used to call on 3M turned us on to her back in the late '90's as we printed some brochures about the product and he asked who would be a local contact.

I googled it and found many references for durashield products but none for automotive use. Maybe I missed it. My guy wants to use Venture Shield. It has a pretty good write up and the manufacturer has lot's of testimonial and testing showing it to be better than 3M. It's all Greek to me though.

How much are you having done and how much is he charging?

he said he needs to look at the car before he quotes me a price. i want to have the hood, facia, front fenders, and all 4 areas behind the wheels done. this guy says it is not needed on the facia and i told him i will find someone else.

I just had my windows tinted there yesterday. The tint turned out really nice but I was a little disappointed today after I found a few scratches on the rear fenders and around the bottom of the rear glass. I'm guessing the guy wasn't being very careful and was leaning against my car while he was doing the back window.

MN CHOPPER:

I had mine done at the dealership when I picked up my 07' last summer. The dealer contracted the work out, I don't know who did it, but I am sure if you ask your dealer they can help you. Whomever they used, came highly recommended by the other Vette customers. I have been very happy with the job they did on mine.
