Tarmac to carpet! I like that!!

I should've bought another set to have on hand, but I guess I'll just investigate a thick clear bra..

The thing I'd be concerned about with a film is around the script. I don't have these yet, but if the script is inset or rough, it might look like bubbles under the film?

no, the clear bra will sink and conform to the slight inset.

Mine is not a DD so it makes it easier! But it's amazing how fast the kids pick it up and it becomes a habit! Now I just have to train my wife. That will be a lot harder! 😎😎

+993. We corresponded via email, I sent him payment via PayPal, he sent me a UPS tracking number. This all occurred in about two days. Email, ordered, shipped. Boom.

Same here. I was expecting a long wait based on what a few others said; but two days after payment he sent a tracking number. Can't wait!

I think he got a few panic emails from the few initial orders and "modified" the process! :P Super nice guy, and the quality of these things is incredible! I can't wait to do my carpet swap so I can finally install mine!

Mine just arrived today, just prepping to tackle the adhesive removal part! Curious what did you end up using?

I ended up using a hair dryer on high heat. It got the tape sticky enough to remove using a soft microfiber towel. Worked in increments of 3-4 inches at a time. Then once all the tape was off, used 3M adhesive remover to get the remainder residue off again with a micro fiber towel.
Probably an easier way (and others can chime in) but this worked well without any risk of scratching.

Amazing quality. I had OE in a previous 4S and Keith's are so identically I don't think one could distinguish the difference. Awesome price and he had them to me from the UK within a week.

3M eraser wheel should make very short work of this.

Sometimes Tumbler will help here - its good to use since it's not hard on the paint. I will need to buy another can, you can come over and get some, but I am out ... but have other solvents that can help. Sometimes even WD-40, which is not a solvent or lubricant, will help.

Cheers,

Mike

Now if I could just teach the GF to stop plopping her *** onto the outside bolster of the sport seats and aim for the middle of the seating area; I'd be way ahead of the game!

...and don't slam the door!
