Navigation LCD Protection Film
Would any of you be interested in protection film for your LCD that is custom cut to size? I think I can get them done for $10 shipped. I have a prototype installed on my car and it’s been working great. If there is enough interest, I’ll get some made. I found some online places selling anti-reflective film for a lot more.
Taking my time, this is a 15 minute project on the 07+ sedan … no exaggeration! I learned the best installation method is to remove the LCD from the car and install the film in the house. The result is much cleaner and you don’t see the edge lines. Removing the LCD is very easy and takes about 5 minutes. Installing the film takes another 5 minutes and then another 5 minutes to put the LCD back in.
The anti-reflective and removable matte film is made of 5 mil PET and has a 1 mil 3M adhesive layer. This is the same material used by UPS for their signature tablets.

I'm interested if it's completely invisible when applied.
I have a film on my ipod touch that is 100% invisible.
I also have a film on my LG Dare which is clearly of lesser quality and no matter what I do, I have tiny air bubbles on the edges of the film.
Good quality, no air bubbles? ... put me down for one too.

Terry, I got mine from http://www.aerotect.net/ and I've been happy with it. I think it ran $12.95 FWIW.

Here's what I want to do:
I have enough material to install onto 10 LCDs. I will make five of them available for 07+ sedans and five for G37 coupes at a discounted price of $8 each because I'd like to get feedback on the installation process and about how the film works for them.
Sorry, but I'd also like make these only available for local guys first so I can "coach" them during the installation process. I'll be helping Kul35 on the 26th with his KPTechnologies install, so I'll be doing his first since we'll have his car pulled apart anyways.
Once I'm comfortable with everything, I'll front the money for a production order and sell them along side the I-key covers. I'm still trying to target a selling price of around $10 each.
If you have an 07+ sedan, are LOCAL in Southern CA and are interested in one for $8, please add your name here:
