On a better note, I spoke with Sam at Premier. Pretty cool guy and lots of great info. I'll be heading over there on the 21st...
He's an amateur looking for easy money. He has no business being in business with that crap. Sorry to see it!
Hope it goes well getting your money back, and with your new install. All things pass...

What a horrible looking job. Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks in the pics. This guy is a creep if he does not give you a refund.

Took my G to PMG today, the guys went above and beyond. Helped me remove the old crap, document it and buff out what they could. Man.. I should have use these guys from the get go. My bumper piece has razor markings all over the place. Profinish.. what a jack @ss loser. He should have known to just stop or run off sooner.

I've started the painful process of filing as much as I can against him and his POS mobile service.

USE PMG and don't cut cost when it comes to your baby!!! End of story...

another coworker of mine used him too and it looks a lot worst than yours. This guy should burn for what he's doing. SOB wouldn't even call my co-worker back after the socalled "bubbles" would go away. How the hell can it when it's on the edge and corners with dirt underneath!!!!!

I took the car early this week to the dealer for 3M clear bra installed on my G. Went to the dealer today to pick up the car, WTF.. the dealer hired a 3M installer but the work was terrible. I can see some of my front bumper unprotected. All the 3M films were not stretch to all the corners. The installer just put the pre-cut pieces on the car. Once done, there were big gaps between corners and the films. Also, they only installed a small piece on the rear bumper. Damn, I didn't pay $800 to get a small rear bumper installed.
I told them to redo all again.

Does anyone have a closer picture of their car done with 3M (front & back)?

Does Premier use 3M or other brands?
Also, does Premier installation using one piece of film for each the front & rear bumper or a pre-cut films?

Let's see how they're going to redo them. If I am still not happy with the results, I will definitely go to Premier.

Updated 12/9/06 - Finally they did redo the 3M clear bra on my car with a larger films than the 1st one. They also retouch the dings before reattaching the films. This time the clear bra looked better than before. It covered all the areas well. Although there were bubbles on some spots. Let's see in a few days.
