invisaguard

[VPT]

When is sign pro going to start getting, cutting, and installing invisaguard for cars and trucks?

Is that like Lamin-X, to protect headlights and such from rock chips? I actually need to get something like that for the lights on my 323. ECE glass lenses, hard to find so I'd like to protect them sooner rather than later. Is this 'invisiguard' stuff better than the lamin-x?

[krazyk]

my friend who owns part of autotrim in appleton makes ALOT of money installin this stuff on high end cars and bikes... migght be worth it for sign pro to start ;)

VentureShield or nothing...

Good business to be in... about $100 of material will do the front 18" of the hood and bumper and runs about $800-$1000 installed.

I think that shit looks like shit.

I'd rather have a rock chip 5 years later than many ugly ass scotch tape lines.

I guess if you are the kind of guy that wears rubbers then you probably will get that shit for your car. But I'd rather take my chances and enjoy the ride.
(I have health insurance and I probably pay for some of yours!)

I personally don't really care for it myself, but if subjecting my car to a lot of dirt/gravel roads, it might be something for the sharp leading edges of things, just to not have the paint chipped all the way down to metal and start rusting instantaneously.

I do want to get some for my light lenses though, because rocks + glass = another set of lamps sent over from Germany...

I think I'll stick with the lamin-x stuff, though. rally guys use it, and I've never heard of this ventureshield or invisiguard stuff until today.

technically, invisiguard is a brand of gutter guard for your house.

That's why you have the entire hood done so you can't see it.

we already do it. and yes, it's VENTURE SHEILD brand, none of the cheaper crap.

prices are as about follows, MOST vehicles will run the same, unless it's a very complex bumper.

Hoods: $185-$200 installed
Bumpers: $295-$395 installed
Headlights: $85-$95 installed
Mirrors: $90-$100 installed

complete kit saves only about $10-$15 total

I order the kits as needed from my source. stocking the material is cheap compared to purchasing the program to cut the kits, that is HELLA EXPENSIVE!!! for the few i do a year, it is WAY cheaper to order them on an as-needed basis. I could spend nearly $2Gs on the program, plus $150-$250 per MONTH for udpates (depending on level i purchase into). you have to be doing a LOT of them to make up for that each year! and honestly, my prices are VERY fair compared to some places, and people around here still cringe at the price, i do very few a year. i'd say 1/4 of the people that price it do NOT do it at all due to cost. people in central WI are CHEAP.

Maybe you are selling that stuff at a good deal Devlish, but that's way too much $$$$ for some clear tape.

Whoever is selling that stuff is making $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Schnitzengruber has a lot of that stuff all over the front and sides. I like it a lot, but I'd never fork out the $$$$$$$$ people are getting for that stuff.

[devlish]

^ exactly.

some people will pay, some will not.

my prices are very fair on that too. but i agree, it's not cheap stuff. works well though if installed properly.
