The fit is very good, but I have one section on the drivers side/top of the bumper, right next to the headlight where he obviously had to do some stretching, or the material stuck together. Look closely in the light at an angle and you can see a few lines and a stretch mark. I am a perfectionist, but feel like I might be too much of an a** hole to demand he take it off and put on a new one. I was under the impression from what I read and the installers comments, that small lines from wrinkles or stretching would even out over time from sitting in the sun like my car does during the daytime at work. So far, hasn't gone away. It still looks 10 times better than the chips I had all over my 2006 Z though. I have only one spot under the bottom lip that you can't see unless you get down on your knees and look under the car, where a large rock obviously hit the bumper and stretched the material slightly. If it still looks this good a year from now it will be worth it. As far as the few wrinkle lines, I just keep telling myself it is not permanent, will come off with the bra when removed.

Thanks for the info. The blemishes seem to be going away, but will have to wait for a day or two before I get it back out of the garage and into proper daylight (weather not so good now). I tend to be a perfectionist as well, but ripping the film off and reinstalling may not result in any better installation. I had a couple of very small creases that I cannot remove by stretching at the very bottom (not visible while standing). I've just used the razor blade knife and removed them at the surface, and all looks well. After my drive on Sunday, the front was splattered with bugs, so WELL WORTH the effort and time.

Default removing Ventureshield ultra-problem

Its been since April that i had Ventureshield Ultra installed. My installer is top notch but we agreed to re do the bumper in the Fall. I had a scrape on it so I decided to have the frt done again. The problem is the adhesive is very difficult to remove and looks and feels sticky. Im crossing my fingers it comes out like i hoped. Ive let the installer keep my car now for over a week(he has other jobs) and added window tinting. Man, Im worried about that adhesive. Any installer have any comments? Thanks, Rich

Wow, that's pretty crazy for him to keep the car a week. I had part of my front bumper redone because it had too much bubbling around an edge, so the installer agreed to redo it for free. He simply heated it up with a heat gun a little bit, pulled it off, and then sprayed and wiped it down with the same stuff he uses to install. There were no issues and everything turned out perfect. It didn't take long at all. Granted it was only on for a couple of weeks before it was removed, but he said it was pretty common for people to replace parts of it if they get badly damaged.
