No not a topless women
I'm in the same boat with a daily freeway commute, and I'm considering the 3M film. I came accross this info when doing some research a little while ago:flyer469 said:
No not a topless womenbut because most of my drive is interstate Im noticing ALOT of small chips!!!
And I was wondering if anyone with a **** read has used one and might have any pictures??? Is it worth it? if you want to take it off does it hurt the paint under it??? is it noticable??? I need to do something,,, so thanks for your help
Ya i just called a shop via the link you listed (thanks) and front,hood,mirrors is about $500. Sure as hell wish i would have done this when i drove it off the lot!!!!! now how do you touch up the chips good enough before I put this on??radioboy said:I found several local certified installers in my area from the official 3M link:

One shop quoted my over $600 for the front end/hood/mirrors (film and labor). After looking at detailed instructions from a distributor, it doesn't appear extremely difficult to put on, but there are so many opportunities to screw up along the way, potentially leaving you with with bubbles, a crease, or your fingerprints showing through due to over-handling. I'm personally inclined to leave the job to somebody who has done this numerous times with flawless results.

I don' have any pics of the clear bra yet, but I can say that out of the many people that have really looked at my car, nobody knew it was on there until I told them. Yes, from certain angles you can see the line on the hood, but it doesn't look bad at all. It is the best thing I have done for the car.
I would also suggest to get your wheel wells and rocker panels covered too (if you can afford it because it gets pricey). The tires on the GTO like to sling rocks up into lower painted areas and the clear film will prevent chips down there too.
It all comes down to the quality of installation. I have seen some really messed up ones because of the installer wasn't very good at it. The quality of installation can make or break the overall film appearance.
