I mean, to each their own but I don't get what real-world problem this is trying to solve. Reminds me of the Dodge boys doing leaving on the yellow strip. They think its protecting the front but Dodge engineers have repeatedly said that sand and grit can get behind it and cause scratches but at least in this situation I can see how it protects against impacts.


well, my Spyder is an open car, and the screen attacks a lot of dust in my 981, so I prefer this cheap *** Xpel on my 718 pcm. But it’s a free option, get rid of it if you don’t like it.

Nice cat! I see yellow is your preferred color. At least the strips there match your car.

MaddMike,

Yes I do Really-really like Yellow if it's the Bright Yellow.
As you saw above the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, I also ordered a Bright Yellow Corvette, along with a Bright Yellow S/C Saleen Mustang, and others over the years.

I also like Bright Red and that list is Way-way-way to long for me to post.

BTW, if those Front Yellow Spoiler-End-Pieces didn't match the Hellcat I would have instantly removed them.

My Maine Coon Male buddy the "Big Red Boy" Rascal he is now 6 1/2 years old.



Have a Great Day,
Terry

I laughed at this one! Dunno why pilots feel the need to touch the screens. It is quite a mess!!!

My screen protector was pulled off by PEC ATL prior to delivery. I installed a screen protector from Salter Aero. I've had very little time with it, but so far so good.

It took a little while for me to receive it. Since you're in Canada, shipping times should be greatly reduced.

If it weren't for the ferry they are only about a 1 hour drive from me... perhaps next time I am in Vancouver.

Still have mine on after 10 months. Looks great other than the yellow tab
