Isn't Halifax in Nova Scotia?

OVER the clear bra? Wow. I would have expected it to go under. Did your installer recommend this way instead?

Not trying to say which is the proper way but I've see installations of clear bra over stickers/graphics that ended up with a slight "outline" air gaps around the edges of the graphics under the bra.

The graphics were just high enough so that the bra material wasn't able to be fully flat across the transition border.

That was my concern also especially with the porsche cut into the hood strip, lots of edges for the clear bra not to sit right if on top. In the end I'll let the installer do as they think best. It's on them to make it look right.

Haven't seen any Picts of carmine red GT4 yet. Mine must be one of the first ones.

After thinking about this and visualizing it I think it would make more sense to install the Porsche stripes over the paint film, because putting the paint protection film over the stripes it would not be able to sit flush and there will be air pockets which would not look good.

Would those be 4-cylinder blocks, 6-cylinder blocks, 8-cylinder blocks or more?

Car at port in Brunswick Ga for a week now. No movement. My dealer says some "campaign" needs to be done on car but they have no info what that might be or idea how long it will take. Annoying not having any clear guidance. Who knows when car will show up.

Car cleared customs at Brunswick so whatever the hold up at port was it seems to be worked through. My car is waiting for transport to dealership so should have pretty soon.

Yea
My guy out in CA says under. I was thinking over the clear bar, because if I ever wanted to change it. My guy is very well respected doing clear bar installs, so I assume he has a reason?
I will ask him when I see him and get the details as to why and report back
