Buddy of mine has it on the front of his black Audi. It's pretty much unnoticeable.

My friends WS6 came with it. Unless you brush your hand across you wont notice it. Almost feels like a paint imperfetion where it's raised...

I have seen this product applied on a '05 Mustang with custom body work. There was a car convention and the guy was applying the product live and answering questions.

The more complex the design of your car the more difficult it is to apply. I believe this product has a five year warranty from fading to yellow. If there was an air bubble created the only way to remove it would be to make a hole. The surface can be waxed and or polished.

I'm guessing it goes on like window tint .. Do I need to find a good tint person or body shop person to put this on? (the ad said it was difficult to apply)

If you go to the website they have a list of suppliers. Just type in your Zip Code and a list should pop up
