CF looks great Jan! Please post pics!

RubyCamaro · 10-13-2016, 07:37 PM

I got my BlackWidow back! I am pretty pleased with the outcome. Of course the tint still needs to cure/dry to clear up some but otherwise it all looks pretty good. I am still not 100% sure about the carbon Fiber but will live with it a while. If I later decide I don't like it, it can easily be removed. First some before & after tint pics then closer up ones of the CF bits. Of course you can't really see the clearbra which is good.

Black Widow looks GREAT Jan!

The car looks great Jan
One reason that i have not gotten a clear bra on one of my cars is that i am concerned about seeing the ridge of where it ends . I am glad that they did a great job on yours

I have the Xpel clearbra on my ZL1 and unless you're looking for the ridge it's difficult to see. Ask your installer to show you some of his installations. I would much rather have the ridge which is almost invisible than a rock chip.

RubyCamaro · 10-14-2016, 04:26 PM

I also did not want any ridges & was only going to get it on parts where we could stop at panel seams. However this left many vulnerable areas bare due to the curves & shapes of panels. He convinced me to try it as it was not any more $ & can easily be removed if I decide I don't like it. The other alternative would have been to cover everything but the trunk area and that was quite expensive.

Don't make a big mistake like I did. I had the Expel put on a little expensive. I learned the hard way. Took the camaro in had the pieces put on the pillars,mirrors,6 inches on the roof over the top of the windshield,rockers,driving & headlights, full front fascia.

This product is very strong against stone chips. My whole rant on this is they had a person put it on that had never done it. They did not have a decaminated area like a paint booth to do this in. And all these pieces are pre-cut on a machine.

When I went to pick the car up I inspected every inch of it. I have a very short fuse temper I expect perfection for my money. The clear shield had little white spots under it on the pillars,rockers,& the piece across the roof. They told me the spots would work their way out in a couple of days.

Well after fighting them for 2 years they finally changed the pieces. But guess what
same situation. Dirt specs under the E-xpel again and no clean area to do the job. They had a fan going which is blowing dust all over the place. I won't mention the place on here cause of law action going on now.

Spike III. Sorry to here this , i am sure that most of us would have had the same reaction .. hopefully it works out for you

RubyCamaro · 10-15-2016, 11:30 PM

The guy that did mine is pretty good. I too get a little irritated because he does not shut the garage doors & it was windy. He however uses a solution to keep washing under the film while he is applying it. He was just in an international competition the week before he did mine. I have not found any trash & only one small bubble. He said come back by & he will remove the bubble with a syringe.

RubyCamaro · 10-16-2016, 11:14 AM

Well, SSlayer took down 3 more V8's in our MCCC Fall Brawl Drag race event. 2 5th Gen SS's & a 4th gen turbocharged Firebird. I did not finish in the top 3 however. I did get a trophy for 3rd place in the car show in the 5th & 6th gen class without even cleaning her up. I did not think officers would be in the car show competition as we usually are not. Sad part is I am no longer a club officer in the club I got started. Most of my supporters ended up quitting the club. Drama sucks. Very sad day. My computer is acting up so maybe I will post up some pics/videos when we are both having a better day. :(
