They did my Vette, and it's 3 years old and looks as perfect as the day they installed it.

+1 on Body Skins. I am an installer and have visited with Rick personally and seen his work. He is a great guy who is an excellent installer. He uses 3M and VentureShield along with Xpel and Proform patterns. I HIGHLY recommend him. He is also mobile and his prices are very reasonable. Tell him Thom from HTP AutoWorks sent you. He will take good care of you.

Thanks everyone.
Another question how much work is it for the care of the clear Bra?
I use the McGuire quick detailer after wash and wax sometimes just to remove road dust can I still use that and how about sealer and waxes, what works and what does not?

Care depends on which material is used. Check with the installer. With some you use the same stuff you use on the paint (I really like Meguiar’s Pro Mirror Glaze Synthetic Sealant 2.0 (#21)), while others are best treated with a plastic cleaner/polish.

Abe'sdesign, it was Abe Pastenes he is out of Alsip, and he came to my house on a Saturday. I was the 3 or 4th Z that he did that weekend, so I guess he gets lots of practice on the Z. he would have done it in 1 1/2 but we were BS about the Install and other things too.

Maybe he was busy or something, but there is NO Excuse not to return a phone call (at least in my opinion)!
I'm not angry, just telling my experience.
I heard that he does good work though.......IF he gets back to you!
As far as the 3M stuff goes, Rick@ body-skinz did ours too and I am happy with it!
Good Luck!
