75 is the price they give you to get you in the door and its the cheap film. You dont want that.

I've used Executive before for my previous cars and they do good work (hillcroft and Unity). They also have lifetime warranty on their work in case it bubbles up. I've heard they can be d1cks if you come back...but that's based on sh1t I read on houston-imports. Never had to re-do mine.

I was planning on going to them to get some 20-25% all around on my firestorm. You definately want something that will block heat especially in houston summers.

At about 1.30pm saw a blue FR-S/BRZ at Hwy 96/Walker St. in League City. Not sure if you saw me.

At 4.10pm, saw a white FR-S, no front plate, on 45 S, a little south of UH Main. You honked/waved, I waved.
