Cool Invisible shield

Yeap, I got it on my clk when I bought it, when the car is clean you can't tell its on it only when you are up close and when its dirty you can surely see it. I have a black clk so maybe different colors would be different, I like it though.

Did you get the below the bumper protection or the hood protection or both? Who did the install and how much did it cost?

I priced a 3m film. $99 for under the bumper. $109 for hood. Seems like money well spent if you looks good and keeps you from getting chips.

I will post some pics when it stops raining here in CT. I got the whole front with part of the hood and by the wheel wells. I also got the side mirrors done. The Mercedes dealer in RI did it and it was $550 for them to do it.

That sounds like a good deal

I don''t think it's cought on in the South yet! Wish my dealer did it. The best I seem to able to do is a CLK500 precut kit off the net. Then I have to take to a body shop and have it installed. It would make a great franchise.

Be careful with applying this stuff yourself, or letting an inexperienced dealer do it. Find a reputable shop in the area or you could end up with stretch marks and/or bubbles. Envisage Design Labs is the place to get it done in SoCal (Torance)...

I can't find this stuff anywhere! Charleston, South Carolina is where we are from. Does anyone know where to get it installed in SC?

Thanks,
David
