In this area you can try these guys:

http://www.onestopautodetail.com

I just went there last Saturday to hang out at a rockblocker clear bra group install (by the owner of rockblocker who flew out). They detailed this WRB wagon and did the whole "ultracoat" on the outside and the inside of the car and I have to say it looked pretty incredible. The shop used a pressure washer with steamy water and pressure washed the engine bay and everything. Looked better than brand new in my opinion. Anyway I know they gave that guy a really really good deal for everything they did but it was more because of the group install that was setup. Anyway, they get my picky approval.

PS: I did my own rockblocker clear bra install on Sunday people. Turned out good haters!

No hatin', just concern. Always want to make sure someone knows what they're getting into when you're talking that kind fo money for a raw kit. I've seen too many bad bubbly tint jobs

Nope. 91 SL1, white, black bumpers, bone stock ("it's got rims form a brand new Saturn, though"..........................."but those are steel wheels with hubcaps, dude"........."I know, they're a big improvement. I've got som Si hubcaps too, those things are hella rare all over the Sacramento area.")

Picture full red and blue flame graphics on a stock saturn, and you've got it.

Si hub caps or Si rims? yes they are rare and if you have them on a car, they will most likely get jacked...

No, I know. It was not an easy endeavor by any means. While I don't think it looks absolutely flawless, I think it looks pretty good (I am a perfectionist). Chad also did a 2002 corvette while I was there and it turned out perfect! I am still waiting for the film to cure since it is so cold right now it will take a couple of weeks. I pulled up next to a co-worker's car and asked what he thought and he was like, "what am I looking for, I can't see anything" so that is good. There are no wrinkles and maybe two semi-bubbly blemishes but I think they will diminish as it cures. For my first kit I think it is about 85-90% perfect.

Anyway, I am not trying to thread steal so back to detailing One Stop is a good shop, ask for Jason.

They did the whole package for that individual for less than 200. I think their normal price is around 200 dollars but Jason will take care of you. Let him know I told you (tell him the silver WRX from the group install). Remember that is the same "ultracoat" protection the dealer tries to sell you for 1200 dollars. Fabric and paint protection.

Yes, sir. Did you bother to check out the link? Click on the "Services" link to check out what services they offer.

As far as scratches the guy that works there is pretty magical with the orbital buffer from what I hear (and I saw him work).

Damn you for not offering sooner although I figured you could!

It was not easy to put on. The hardest part was knowing how much to stretch for proper fit.
