Cool

outside, would've been too tough to do on inside and you'd see the vinyl adhesive(air channels) through the windshield. also the whole thing would've been gloss because the windshield, so no way to have a black on black with satin and gloss, would've been all gloss if inside

Got her an Escort Max 360, much needed, this car gets a lot of attention, authorities included!

Agree! Finally upgraded to a new unit after many years.

And if you do, get the plastic Porsche frunk liner and dump a bunch of ice in first.

That looks great! Do you have pics from further away? This is the first time in considering doing this.

i tried to take one further away but being a little dark in the garage you cant see it, it's more visible in daylight, but like i said pretty subtle which i like. this is the best i could do in the garage

Picking mine back up in an hour after having XPEL done on the front end. Back to trying to rack up gentle miles while wondering what 5K RPM sounds like.

i actually made it myself, i had some leftover satin black vinyl(avery supreme, also had matte 3m1080 but it was too chalkboard looking, avery last longer outdoors), i just taped off the finish line on the windshield using knifeless tape, at center of windshield i taped just above the photoeye around 4.75" i think, and for the corners i folded a sheet of paper and used a pen to trace the curve on the windshield corners and cut them out, then taped the those templates and lined the knifeless tape on each side with the template, put the satin vinyl down, pulled the tape, and BOOM! perfect! the porsche letters i had made at a local sign shop, i think it's 37" in length which is perfect, and started at the middle with the "S" and worked outward

Got her a new windshield after a direct hit on LA drive AND one this past weekend on track at Buttonwillow. Possibly best install I've seen too.
