AzN121184,

No problem. What you are looking at is clear urethane film that is very spongy and flexible product that is about a two sheets of paper thick. The product is made by 3M. What it does is take the place of the old traditional black bras of the past that did nothing, but damage your paint with scratching and sun fade.

This product is guaranteed to not yellow, crack or fade for as long as you own the car. The paint will fade together evenly. NO matter how much wax you use the paint will fade over long periods of time. It has a clear coat finish to match the gloss of your car. The kits are designed to cover the high ipact areas of the car> hood, bumper, mirrors, fenders and hood scoop.

Just of it this way when you are tailgating grandma or rallying on thos gravel roads behind someone and you are hearing rocks, pebbles and whatever is flying up and hitting your paint. You will know you are safe when you get out and nothing happened.

I wouldnt leave home without. I drive various vehicles in various conditions and I would never be without ever again.

If you have any more questions let me know. This is getting long.

 

The price depends on the car and what you are looking to get covered. If you have an 02-03 WRX body style the full kit is $168-

I would not recommend installing this yourself. It is not real easy and takes a lot of patience and understadning of the material. There has been people who have installed it. Like tinters or graphics guys.

If you want more info go to the site and check it out.

 

I just ordered my 04 WRX and the paint quality is also a concern, but I didn't let it stop me from buying the car. I'm heavily considering a paint protection kit such as RockBlocker, StonGard, X-Pel, etc. I'll be moving to Wisconsin when my car arrives so once I find out some info on how well these systems work in the cold, I'll make my decision.

 

The best color for Not showing rock chips is Silver. The reason is the primer is gray underneath so they tend to gel in with the paint unless you are close.

Black, blue and red all show rock chips pretty bad. I would judge what color car to buy on how much do rock chips show through. Get the color you want otherwise you might not be totallt happy in the long run.

 

there is a clear film that is aoplied like window tint that help against rocks and chips. One name is called stongard. Also j riggs the orange peel your our discribing at bottomo f doors is on my car too they said it is like that for better protection down low on door the paint is thicker and stops against rust and stuff.

 

That paint down on the rocker panels is a rubberized paint that has a flex agent in it to help prevent getting the sides all chewed up from those FATTY tires hanging out and chucking things on the side

A lot of the car manufacturers have been using this type of paint for years on cars and some trucks.

 

I think the paint on the wrx is really cheap. I have a red wrx and there are chips everywhere. There's even a chip on one of the doors. I understand if you get a few chips but there is way to much. I had a honda accord for about 6years and I didn't get that many chips.

 

I garage my MY02 wrx and has only 3200 miles on it. It is garaged and car covered to keep the dust down since i dont drive her alot. I use a company vehicle during the week so working construction doesnt leave much time to drive her. Well any ways i have a few on the hood and one or two near the front head lights. I bought this stuff called langka for removing the blot on touch up paint. It works ok but the color match is a lil off or something on the silver. Even when i dab a lil clear coat on it. Yes the paint is more ***ile than other cars. I clean bugs off the car with bug remover as soon as i get home and shammy it off and then cover it up. Part is the ****ty paint, part is driving characteristics, where u live in the country, and lastly car care.

My car has minimal chips due to lack of driving, garaged year round and i clean it all the time. I agree the paint should be better but with the rest of the car the paint is a trade off. Try the stongard it seems to work. I am thinking down the road if i get the chips professionally fixed ill get the hood and grill and lights done with it .

 

Can you re-post the link for the full kit image? I'm getting a 404 error. Cheers.

 

I was wondering the same thing when your post arrived. I was looking for information about a warranty. If you find either one, can you let me know?
