Completed: Ventureshield w/ Raja

Raja performed a Venture Shield installation this past weekend on my 335xi. I just wanted to let anyone who is on the fence about getting this done that they should see Raja right away.

It's well worth the cost (which is pretty low compared to other places) and the benefits are great. Raja is also a very enthusiastic person who clearly enjoys working with cars. Give him a holler if you need a clear bra installed.

Cheers!

e90phan,

If you have a rock chip then here is your options - get it covered so no more rock chips. :-)

Spool,

shoot me a telephone number via PM & we can discuss this further.

+1, Raja did my 335i vert last June and I would highly recommend him. Enthusiastic, professional, timely, and friendly. Just took delivery of a VW R32 and I am considering the same install for it.

I considered this a while back on my previous car. I am worried about the looks of it on an alpine white car. Will the finish tarnish/peel or turn yellow?? I saw a corvette 2 years ago w/ a 3m bra and that thing made the white car look kinda yellow/white. Another annoying thing is how the car kinda looked plastiky, almost like you could see the protectant over the paint. The metallic look of the paint was gone w/ a bra. I wouldnt mind getting one on the front portion of my hood, bumper and lip.

Can you please PM a price?? I only want like 1/3 of my hood/bumper and lip done.

Thanks

hkkuf,

this should be no brainer. It's a must IMHO. (not because I sell the service just cuz it makes me go crazy when i see a car beatup with rock chips).
I sent you a PM.

Raja

Whoa whoa whoa... definitely get the VS first man. No contest on that one. Well, unless you garage your car most of the time and have a low low chance of encountering rocks and debris while cruising at speed.

Get the tinting later when its a little warmer - that's my approach.

Thanks for the advice. Raja, I PM'd you back.
I haven't yet decided that I'm keeping the car for more than a few years. I mean, I love the car, but I may have to upgrade to something bigger (I have a coupe).
That's mainly why I'm somewhat hesitant on putting this thing on. I live in a condo and park it in the basement lot, so I guess that helps a bit.

Tinting I kinda see as a must, and it's probably half the price or less...

Anyhow, we'll see how it goes.

i got couple questions about this.
pdjafari already asked the same question that i had so that's good.
when you "dont" want it, can you just peel it off?
i heard that you need to apply a clearcoat after you remove it or something like that. is it safe to assume it as a "tape"?

do you have a list of price that i can look at? i dont have the car yet but i will have one by this may e92 335i
thanks!

trying to get it from passport after research.
i was going to order it during winter break but i wasnt sure if i wanted 335i...
i checked out RS4 and i feel in love with it but...i think i will go through a lot of trouble as 21...lol
i emailed Yves(?) and he guaranteed that he will get me the best pricing but i will have to make a document with invoice,MF,etc.
i will send it to VOB and passport and figure out if i want to do it or not.
i only have a week break so i dont have time to waste
i'd really appreciate any help

btw, you asked me about the CF work and i am quite active in Formula SAE.
idk if you saw my post but i will most likely learn something this year.
it's so much fun building a race car 8)

Raja,
I'll be giving you a holler in the next month or so. I'm going to pick up some OEM touchup paint and take care of my 20 or so rock chips on my front end....buff them out and then get the Ventureshield. This paint chips really easy.
