I've been reading some mixed results on the Starshield. On some pictures and colors it's very noticeable on others, it's not bad.

So, this is a just a quick poll for those who've seen the Starshield on the Elise in person.

Absolutely it's noticeable. Not right at first but when you look at the hood you definately see a line. But I ordered it because of the potential chips and I don't think it looks bad at all.

 

[ConeFusion]

This is a confusing poll. You ask if it is noticable, and the answers are "Yes. It's not noticeable." and "No. It is noticeable."
:huh:
If that answer were available, my vote would be for "Yes. It is noticable."

 

[fish]

Yeah...You're right! He should ask a third question..

"Yes, I didn't notice your grammar mistake."

huh?:huh:

I wasn't even going to consider it until I saw it on Valenti's demo. Or, more to the point, I didn't see it. I really had to get right up along side the car to see it. Now, I'm definitely getting it.

Sorry about the poll. I don't have the authorization to edit the poll.

I edited it a little. Let me know if you want it to change.

Thanks Randy. Brain resources at 32% right now.

I generally have to get right up along side the car to get in and out of it. Consequently, I find that the seams will be quite noticeable in many places on a routine basis. Of course, the same could be said for the chips that one may accumulate. Still hoping to see a yellow car in person with the film on it before I make my final decision.

On the Elises I've seen, it's really not noticeable with the exception of Starlight Black (where it's quite noticeable in direct sunlight.) Personally, I don't think people with AR or SY will notice it much, while Starlight Black and Nightfall Blue owners might see it more readily. Either way, I still want it... anything to minimize paint chips...

Just for your reference, I have have approx. 15+ people check my car out at close range. Not 1 person noticed the 3M until I pointed it out to them on my SY Elise

It really depends on the quality of the application. The material itself seems fine and the coverage areas are good (just wish the material went higher towards the radiator ducts though). I'm getting it .

 

[Superlight]

I will probably get the film. On the BRP color, it surely changes the "shine". If you put your nose right up to it, it looks like this. It looks better at 10 feet away, 30 even less obvious.

 

[mikester]

I voted "other" because I like the product, but based on the installs I've seen it can be nearly invisible (on arctic silver) to readily visible at close range (saffron yellow). So it seems to depend on the color and finish (metallic or solid color?). I still think it'll be worth it, if it reduces stone chips etc.

:huh: Um, how else would you do it -- magically transport into the driver's seat?

 

[TimMullen]

If you look for it on my Chrome Orange car, you can see it, but that's about it. A neighbor noticed it, simply because there was wax residue along the seam. A quick wipe, and no more wax residue.

I'll trade a small bit of noticeablity for the protection anyday...
