The stoneguard is not noticeable on the car and has done the job of limiting the chips at the front, loading area of the boot, door handles.

Cant give it a too bigger wrap.Bras look crap compared to this almost invisible film. The only thing I have found so far is that it wont stop a bullet sized stone from cracking your foggies. (Get the Territory covers for these). Where can you get it done?

Even the Late model camira I HAD to drive prior to the T had better quality paint work than Ford have put on this one. Even my XE lasted better than the crap Ford painted with one with.
