Attentiv To Detailz in Markham is the closest I know of near you. Alex over there is a good buddy of mine and does quality work.

OP, those other detailers don't have their own shop so some rent a shop for a couple of hours or do it on their own drive it. If you are like me who wants my car to be inside and left inside until you can pick it up, i'd suggest you to go GTA In Detail. Kevin has his own shop and it can fit multiple cars so i'm sure you can ask him if you can leave your car inside for a couple of days until you pick it up. It's convenient and peace of mind for you and your car.

I don't want to speak for him, but I believe so. Give him a call or send him an email to get all the info you need. Alex has a garage that he might be able to put your car in overnight if you leave it. All things you can discuss with him.

I keep my cars inside

Not too sure about Barrie but in Markham there are a bunch. Hamza is likely the most popular for the FR-S BRZ. Alex @ Attentiv. Or I can help you if the schedules match.

I went to Kevin (gtaindetail.com) and followed up the next week with Marco for clear film - partial hood/fender, full bumper, mirrors, a-pillars, 10" roof, and trunklip. Yesterday a dump truck tossed a yard or two of dirt off the top 1 lane over on the when it hit that bump on the 427 northbound near the airport and I was glad for that film! Still have to check the rest of the car for any other grief as the opticoat won't save you from chips. Here's some pics at Kevin's shop: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...1&l=b9a56422bf

Nice, how much did it cost? I'm picking my car up on the 13th and bringing it to Kevin on the 14th, hopefully there isn't any shipping damage on mine, I don't I'll be getting a clear bra though, my brother has it his EVO and I don't like how the edges collect dirt and create an outline. How much was the clear bra as well out of curiosity?

The unfortunate problem with the clear bra industry is too many places do the installs poorly, so you end up with exposed edges all over the places. Properly applied the only edge should be the line on the hood, ~24" up (assuming you don't get the entire hood/fenders done, in which case there should be *no* edges whatsoever). If it's done right all the leading edges on the hood, fenders, bumper, lights, etc should be wrapped and tucked, so no exposed edge.

My brothers was an option from the dealership, I might look into ot a later date this summer, I'll be fairly steapped for cash for the first 3 months of having
my car.
