Here's the three I've done so far.

Porsche Boxter- Top is the best Boxster bumper I've ever installed. The lower center piece is way too short...like 4in too short. I had to steam it to stretch it.

RAV4- perfect.

ES350- perfect.

I'll edit to save a post.

The Mini Cooper base....the bumper needs to be laid out differently. When downloaded, it does not include the top part. The center piece around the radiator intake (looks like an upside down U) would be better if it was joined at the bottom and the skinny strip at the top deleted. By doing this you can fit the whole bumper on 18in saving a TON of film. The small strip is almost completely covered up by the front plate and there is no need for film there.

Just did a BMW 650 today. I had the bumper down in 10 minutes. By far, the best bumper I've done so far.

At first I was skeptical about multi piece and relief cuts for the bumpers but they speed things up so much when you aren't fighting a stretches and wrapping film into every crevice. If they're done right, you can't even tell there's a seam.

Thumbs up

Did a 09 Civic Si yesterday. Hood and fender lineup was off about an 1/8" - no big deal for a Honda, but I like close fitting kits.

The bumper went down smooth like it was designed for 3M Film! It was 1 tack for the beginning, ONE stretch to the wheel-well, one stretch across the bumper face and 1 stretch to the other wheel-well. It went FAST! Awesome Job.

Who do I get in contact with regarding kit designs - good or bad? This forum is new without much traffic yet, so when I need to speak to/email someone it'll be quicker.

Thanks,
