Re: Starshield Aerobody clear mask
Who's 'Monique'? A local person or is she from Starshield? When I called Starshield, I was told I had to buy it from the installer - who hasn't called me back yet, by the way. Not a good sign.Positive Pressure wrote:Ordered mine today for 1991-001 from Monique to be installed in Dallas next week. Was promised all the right things so I hope it goes well.

Call 866-NO-CHIPS (she has no direct line but knew all about the Green Speedster) and ask for Monique. She'll be expecting a call now from Arizona
Please ask if we order them at the same time (making mine Monday) if we can get a discount (group sale!). She has my credit card info and I still have one car in LA which she can do. She was very helpful and is coordinating my install next week at my house. She knows how serious we are about these priceless works of art.

Re: Starshield Aerobody clear mask
I just called but it looks like they're gone for the day. I'll try again tomorrow, and if they're closed I'll call again on Monday.Positive Pressure wrote: Call 866-NO-CHIPS (she has no direct line but knew all about the Green Speedster) and ask for Monique.

Anybody else up for this? The more the merrier (and maybe the larger the discount...).

Re: Starshield Aerobody clear mask
I've just been on a series of calls with my local installer and with Monique at Starshield.Positive Pressure wrote:Call 866-NO-CHIPS (she has no direct line but knew all about the Green Speedster) and ask for Monique. She'll be expecting a call now from Arizona

The net is that Monique says the only Callaway clear bra they make is for the C16, they have no kit for the C4 Aerobody at all. While we were on the phone, I sent her a link to the photos of the green Speedster that Pete C. posted, and apparently they did a custom mask for it, they did not produce a kit. She also faxed me a picture of the template for the kit they do have, and it is definitely for a C16, not the C4 Aerobody. My installer did tell me he could do the custom mask for most any car, and the cost is only about $100 more than using a kit, so that may still be an option.
Positive Pressure - Monique is going to call you about this as well, as it looks like she was assuming you wanted a C16 mask.

Re: Starshield Aerobody clear mask
I had one of these custom made for the yellow car today. The local installer used the 3M film, and made the mask freehand since there is no pattern or kit.
WOW - it looks great - that is to say, you can hardly see it at all. I couldn't even tell it was on there until I was within about 12 - 18 inches of it. It lays like glass, and the orange peel effect is so faint, you really have to get down close to see any at all. I'm not even sure I can photograph it, it's that invisible. I'm going to run it for a bit, and if nothing changes, I believe I'm going to have one made for the Speedster too.

Re: Starshield Aerobody clear mask
Yup..! Had mine installed and it magnifies the orange peel....not as noticeable without the sun glasses. Protection factor still makes it worthwhileCallaway Chris wrote:...do not look at those through polarized sun glasses

Re: Starshield Aerobody clear mask
I ended up having the Speedster done too. It's a little more noticeable on the darker color, but I'm still pleased with the results.SurfnSun wrote:Any update on this? Positive Pressure...how did your install go?

How much did you have done? Front bumper or bumper + hood?
How does this affect the paint when you go to remove it if it yellows?

Re: Starshield Aerobody clear mask
I had both cars done the same way - front bumper, hood up to the top of the headlights (and the headlight panels of course), rear view mirrors, and the front Aerobody lenses.SurfnSun wrote: How much did you have done? Front bumper or bumper + hood?

I was told they can remove the film with no damage to the paint. On one of my trips they were removing the film from an older Porsche 911. He said the film had been on for several years (I want to say 5 or 8), and they were using heat guns to remove it. The film was very yellowed and showing its age, but the paint underneath looked great.

Re: Starshield Aerobody clear mask
Had every inch of my car from the belly line down and the entire nose including inside both doors. Turned out very well but I did not go with Starshield and went to a local 3M rep who was repsonsive and talented. I think it turned out great...

Thats outstanding. If it lasts 5-8 years its well worth the investment of having it put on. Do you mind me asking what the cost was? I would probably do the front bumper, lenses, rear view mirror and most likely the entire hood if I could afford it.
