| Does anyone know where to get the clear paint protection film for the door handle wells other than Stongard? The shipping on their web site is more than the film! Might just have to bite the bullet..... |

| I had some material left over from my Clear Bra installation, and just cut out oval pieces and installed them in the finger well. Also did the gas door edge and interior trim pannels where the driver and passenger seat belts wouk scar the plastic trim. |

I plan on installing the film on the front bumper - might have some material left over. Great idea about protection from the seat belt banging around. Thanks for the info. |

Check your local yellow pages for automotive body shop suppliers or body shop supply stores. Call around and find one that carries 3M products.
Ask for 3M part # 84904, which is a 4" x 84" roll of paint protection film that you can cut to any sizes you want. If they don't have it stock they can usually get it within 3-4 days and it should cost $25 - $40.
If you use it wisely, you should have enough there to do your door handle recesses, rear bumper ledge (I used a 3" x 45" piece for this), door edges, and possibly the sideview mirrors.

Here is a picture of my rear bumper with paint protection fim. |

Morph & jatharp -
Great ideas and thanks for the step-by-step info. I got the film yesterday and, if all goes well, plan on installing it this week on the rear bumper, door edges, and the door handle wells.
