Awesome photos iSully. Looks like you did a truly amazing route. I would love for you to post a full trip journal with the story of all the places you visited, lots of pics, and how people reacted to this very special car.

You clearly have an eye for placing the car in the right scenes and capturing great photos.

BarryB, I installed the Xpel Stealth Matte clear bra on my 30th anniversary and it blends very well with the Frozen finish on the car and you cannot tell that there is a clear bra installed.

See you at the Thermals on 10/3.

That's great news. How much of the car did you do?

BarryB: I installed the clear bra during the European Delivery in Augsburg, Germany.

I did the Front Bumper, Front hood, Front quarter panels, leading edge of roof, side skirt, upper rear bumper (for luggage) and mirror for EUR$1500.

You will not be able to tell that there is a clear bra on the car, except around the breaks between clear bra and frozen paint (i.e. roof and a pillars). Front far, the Xpel Matt clear bra blends well with the frozen finish.

They had to special order the Xpel Matt Clear Bra from the US. This film is pretty thick so it is difficult to make tight 90 bends if you want to start the film at the corner of the body panel.

For anyone who wants to install clear bra during a European Delivery, this is a good installer to use:

Only problem I have had is some bubbling around the leading edges of the roof from the driving. This film is difficult to bend so they could not start the film from the inside edge.

Great idea for ED. That is cheaper than here..... I'm going to do bumper, hood and front fenders (mirrors too). Front but no roof or pillars.
Really glad to hear that it maintains the look
