I also think the 5mm spacer in the front is a good idea. I am thinking of getting 10-15mm for the rear and leave the front as is. For the clear bar, it is suppose to have no bubble or dust behind the clear bra right? I have couple of bubble and dust behind it and the installer should come back and fix it.

~ a 10mm spacer for the rear is max imo... a 15mm would push the wheels out too much. as for the front... a 5mm hub-centric spacer is not available ... so i am modifying the 10mm spacers i purchased for the front and having a machine shop shave down the front side to a 5mm to achieve the look i prefer.
~ the bubbles usually will dissipate within a month... if not... a syringe can be used to release the moisture behind the film. as for the dust located behind the film... the film will have to be replaced in that area to remove any debris or particles. hopes this helps...
and thanks for all of your insight on the coupe... you have truly be an asset along the way.

Showa,
I'd go back to your installer. Your clear bra should have NO bubbles or even worse dust or dirt under the shield. Completely unacceptable. I had the entire hood, front end, and both entire front fenders covered with absolute perfection. Installer wrapped the edges and it is absolutely impossible to tell it is covered. It took over two days, and wasn't cheap, but the result was perfect. You shouldn't accept dust or bubbles.
