That sounds like it should over lap enough even if there was a little fraying IMO

Spent a good portion of the day trolling a CL scammer :icon17:

The highlights:
( Click to show/hide )

First text message thanks me for responding. This is the second text message and is immediately obvious that it's a scam. While I hate scammers like this, I have zero sympathy for idiots who fall for this type of crap. It doesn't take rocket scientist to figure out something is wrong. Just in case he is stupid enough to actually send money, I tell him I only accept PayPal gift (so he won't be able to dispute the transaction).
( Click to show/hide )

Here I give him my name, but I misspell it knowing that a legitimate email from PayPal will get it correct. Sure enough, I get an email addressed to the misspelled name. The email looks fairly legit except for the obvious signs like the reply address is not remotely close to any paypal.com address, the content is complete BS about how PayPal works, and the shipping address is Nigeria :shakes head:
( Click to show/hide )

Here I troll him a bit saying that I already procured a shipping carrier. Lonestar overnight is a regional shipping company and has only recently expanded it's shipping coverage outside of Texas :icon17: The phone number he is using is registered to 2220 West 1st Street in Duluth, MN, so I mentioned that I was shipping the package there - he was a little surprised lol

And finally, I reveal that I've just been wasting his time :rofl2:

this xpel ultimate is a HUGE improvement over the regular xpel ive dealt with in the past as far as being able to peel up without damage even when partially dried. usually dont want to do that cause it damages the film by turning white.

also VERY glossy. :tup:

Excellent job Mr.kenchan :tup:

Question for you and anyone else who has experience with clear bra -

I've got 3M clear bra on the front of the car that was installed over six months ago.

When I go to cut the holes in my bumper for my Nismo brake ducts, are there any special precautions to take because of the clear bra?

Is there a real possibility of it lifting along the cut line?

I don't think there should be a problem, but i wanted to ask. Mrs. gurney in another storied driving action managed to brush a column in a parking garage with her CR-V. The clear bra was abraided and torn in some spots, but it didn't lift anywhere. I assume there will be no problem with me cutting mine.

Thoughts?

thx mr.gurney. :tup: you can score the laminate with a sharp knife and cut it cleanly. :) should be no problem.
