I was wondering if you could 3M the entire car. Because whats the point of just doing 4 inchs of the hood and only the front bumper and mirrors. Why not the whole entire car, it might cost a lot but it will save you more at the end if you wanna sell the car. When the 3M is on the car you can't really tell it is on till you see the end line. If the whole car was 3M'd it would look the same. I don't know I was just thinking cuz my friend has his front end 3M'd but the middle to top of his hood after the 3m is all rock chips.

You could but why? It's very expensive to do the entire car...let alone there aren't templates for the entire car so that means it'll have to be custom.

I have the entire front 3M'd on my Evo. I don't see the need to cover up the entire car. Even though the clear protector is transparent you still know it's there. It's not exactly invisible. With about a year and half on my 3M film it's gotten a little dull over time. It just doesn't look good as the rest of the car imho.

There are areas you barely get rock chips. Do yourself a simple cost and benefit analysis, and you should know why.

I know there are installers doing to the whole car for exotics.
I've seen it somewhere.
But I heard it sometimes damages the paint finish when removing the film.

Cars are meant to be used and chipped. if your that worried buy a showcar and trailer it around.

ha when i saw this i thought it was going to be about 3m building their own car. i am disappointed.

If I was going that route, I'd go for full vinyl. But for that cost you could just have your car repainted.

I know someone who clear bra'd their whole NSX. They got a 2005 and they want to keep it mint.

This reminds me of the old ladies that keep their furniture wrapped in plastic so its stays "new". Its no longer new, and if you can't fully enjoy it, why have it?

Paint is used to protect the car, 3M is used to protect the paint, and its only needed on the front as that's where the most damage from driving occurs.
