We all know that NO film is indestructable, so the right adhesive that has just the right amount of tack for removal is very important. I agree, it's possible to get cheap labor in China, but I'm just talking material cost alone. I don't believe film designed for LCDs the size of ours with the proper adhesive can only cost $2 each to make and sell. The volume is just not high enough for this custom size.

I'm only a small fry and do this stuff on the side. Honestly, if anyone makes this better or cheaper, I'd really like to know. There's no sense in "re-inventing the wheel."

Thanks for the interest.

Let me get the local installs in first to make sure they are happy with the film and the way it is installed. It is attached with a removable light tack contact adhesive made for LCD screens. No soap and water to install.

I'll have pictures with step by step instructions as soon as everything checks out.

I started selling these on driver, but no one ever volunteered to try this on a G37 coupe yet. I know the screens are the same size and that they will fit, but I don't know about the installation process. I'm guessing it is the same, but I'd like to verify.

Anybody want a free one to verify the install for me? If all is good, I'll post a selling thread here as well.
