@Ali - That was one funny video
@sig11 - I have clear bra installed on mine. It is a 3M clear bra (Xpel Cut). I got it installed local by an installer called Larry Millen. You can find him in the authorized installers list on 3M site. I have also put his website around his name as a link.
But, I paid alot more than what was being charged in other places (say in Chicago). I paid 999$ for Bumper, Hood (1/3rd cut) and on side mirror panels. Alot of people in other states said they paid about 700$ for the same.
There is another installer called CGM, but he asked me even more. I think he quoted me about 1200.

Woodward Sunday? -- Sounds good, if you're going I'll try to make it out there.
As far as clear bra installers go I would recommend: Sunshade over in Troy.... I believe they're on 15mile(Maple) - West of Livernois.
My friends and I all repeatedly go to them for window tinting since they do the best work I've seen... no gaps - no bubbles - perfect. I had an issue with a tiny piece of debris that was caught between the film and glass when I had the windshield tinted.... I brought it back to Sunshade and they replaced it on the spot after taking a quick look at the flaw.
That being said I have not got a clear bra from them but I would trust their work based on previous experiences.

When I wanted to get mine done I was debating between Ventureshield and 3M. Ventureshield was cheaper and was easier to put on. However, the reviews were mixed bag and so I decided to get the 3M.
Now 3M offers 5 yrs warranty on the clear bra that it will not peel or discolor. However, to get this warranty the film should have been applied by an authorized installer. The material if you bought yourself was about 550-600 for the patterns I got. So keep that in mind when going for an installer.

sorry for the short notice, but if anyone needs to make use of a code scanner, i'll have one tomorrow and/or sunday. you're welcome to stop by. i'm 'renting' one from murray's - that's all they do. give them $200 and i'll get it back when i turn the scanner back in.
i've had the dreaded SES light since march when i did my test pipe install. bought NICE angled no foulers (stainless steel), and it still gives the light. so i gotta crawl under and check for other leaks/etc. and need the scanner to see what code is being thrown.
if someone knows of another place where i can just drive up and plug in for the code, let me know. otherwise, i'll have a scanner at my place for the weekend, lol.

i think it's not the testpipe itself that causes the cel lights if you have the nonfoulers you should be fine . cold be a crack in the testpipes .

i went to autozone today and found out it's throwing a P0057 code, which showed 'bank 2, sensor 2 heater circuit low'. after searching, it's the drivers side o2 cat sensor. i'm going to crawl under again to see if i somehow damaged the wires to the o2 sensor on install.
i'll also check for a crack in the test pipes too - thanks.

non-foulers
on the subject of throwing codes - it didn't take long to get a SES after installing my HFC's. I searched here, ebay and amazon for non-foulers and couldn't find any for sale. My sensors point at a slightly upward angle at the moment - so the angled non-foulers are probably not necessary.
Where do I find these?

i think i found my problem, lol.
it was only partially cut. i split it apart all the way to solder it back together.
edit: i soldered it back and reinstalled it... then took about a 15 mile drive. no SES! fingers crossed it doesn't come back.... i can't believe how much more gas it sucked down and how poor my performance was. soldering that little wire was like adding a new mod, lol.
