I hear these guys are good, and they're right down the street from a friend in Concord.

I may just 'try' a 2 layer just to get something on there... if it turns out then yippee... if not, then

Thanks to all for your comments.

Default Update after install...

I just got done self-installing a Racing Optics 2 layer tear off on the 996-3. Thanks to Heath at Protint for the tips and help.

Also, thanks to Fire Breathing 930 Hoss BKS for his personal protint input.

The install was very straightforward. With a helper it took under 30 minutes. The edges needed to be trimmed just a tad, and the install kit was key with the proper tools.

Some of the edge area needs a little touching up, but overall a fantastic result. I'll clean it up after it cures. The view out is terrific.

nice job, its amazing how some things you think out of your reach are actually pretty straight forwards when you move slowly one step at a time!
