    Clear Bra install - Laugh for the day...

    Sometimes, I forget where I live.

    So, I had a 3/4 hood PPF on the R8 and never liked the visible line across the hood. When I ordered the 335is, I specifically requested PPF on all forward facing surfaces - mirrors, front bumper, entire front quarter panels and FULL hood. I wanted everything covered.

    Picked up the car Wednesday, what did I get? A 3/4 piece and another 1/4 piece stuck on the end to make a full hood! You know, 3/4 + 1/4 = FULL. Right? Man I was pissed!

    The sales person checked with the installer and he said "no way a R8 hood is covered in one piece." But then, I took a breath and remembered where I was - in Arizona. I know where HELL east & HELL south are thanks to this forum. But AZ is often more Bumble-F**K than anywhere else in the US!

    The moral of the story & lesson learned is - never assume, be as specific as possible!

    I guess a trip to Premier in Orange County is in order. Good excuse to get out of the heat anyway.

    Have a great weekend!

    Man, I wanna come meet up with you guys. I'm just not willing to drive 33.5 hours to do that for a while, though.

    Good looking car, Scott.
