Can you share some details on the install ? Did the pieces need any modifications? How does the stuff get installed ? Mistakes/pitfalls ? If you are comfortable installing tint film, then this is similar. If you buy the precut pieces, then there is no mod needed. If you have custom parts on the car (bumper, lips, ...), then you will need to buy a bulk, rectangular roll and cut out your own piece. Yeah, I'd heard that it is like installing film. I called a local body shop that I'd done business with before who said they'd never done it before but would be willing to do the job since they had tons of experience doing decals and film I think this is a job I'll pay to have done by someone else.

Here's the link to the prices for invinca-shield for the IS-300 I found a guy in my area (from their web page) and he quoted me a price of $600 for the deluxe kit plus rear bumper and mirror pieces installed. He said he would come to my house to do the installation on a weekend once the order comes in. I told him to order the stuff. More status as this develops

I just got done using Zaino products on my '04 blue IS. I used the car wash, Z5 polish, Z2 polish with the ZFX additive and the Z6 spray in between coats of the other stuff. Good thing I had the day to myself. The results were worth it, amazing shine. Stuff is easy to apply/remove and smells good too :P :P

Thanks for the link. I'll get on it. I'd like to get this done before the first rock finds the front end of my car. I'll post status/results.

The search continues ... Turns out the stuff I think I'm looking for is made by 3M. Here's a consumer link to some information. I used their dealer finder and found someone reasonably close, problem is that the phone number is a discontinued cell phone <_< I then called the Lexus dealer, they hadn't heard of the stuff and had no idea who could do such work. <_< <_< I got an 800 phone number from one of the 3M web pages, time for some more phone calls.

Could the problem be that the player can't handle .wav files ? Have you tried playing a home-made CD that is just a straight copy of another CD ?

Hello, I became the proud owner of an Indigo Ink Pearl 2004 IS-300 this week. I am investigating ways to protect the front of the car from the usual dings and rock hits that always happen. Friends of mine talked me out of a 'bra' due to the concerns over paint damage and moisture. I was told about a product by 3M and others that is a plastic film that is placed over the area that you wish to protect. They claim that it protects against dings and scratches and kits are available to cover the hood as well as other spots prone to damage like the exterior of the side mirrors. Anyone have any experience/advice on these products ? Oh yeah, I'm lovin' my Lexus
