End results...priceless!

I agree...let someone else give it a go first. May be a great product, but then again...not. I wouldn't want to risk it on my own car. Maybe one of the Civic forum members can try it first. But then again, most Civics can't go more than 70MPH so, it may not be a true test

I think I speak for the rest of us when I say that I was looking forward to someone else being the guinea pig.

(I get it though!

3M should consider sending a mobile vendor with their own demo car to events like ZDayZ to get the product in front of the people who want to use it, but are not willing to risk it on their particular car.)

speedfreek · 05-14-2013, 09:08 AM

So those that run the tape like Sfearl1. Do you leave it taped up the whole trip? Or do you untape once you arrive at Fontana and then wash and retape before the commute back Sunday? Thats's a lot of tape.

I've been saying for years that the blue painters tape people need to make a clear auto specific tape. They wouldn't have to change it a lot make the adhesive the same just make the tape clear. There is a ton of money to be made here.

I'll be heading to meet up with the Texas guys and gals in an hour and a half.
