Have read loads on it .. search on Griff & other forums .. but the replies are mixed .. some love it .. others complain that after time it gets grubby around the edges and the price spent on it will pay for 50% of a front end respray.

When I see them I think it makes the paint look dull and like you can see a crack (along the edge) where the stone chip ends.

Thanks Rev
Have looked at threads and comments, as you say mixed veiws. Ferrari, Noble and Pokies seem to like and pass good comments. However there does seem to be two types Armafend 3M or Helicopter stuff. I know a mate who has it on his Scubby perhaps I'll look at his, and dicide than.

My own opinion - looks good when new but after a few years .. well crap really.

Only real solution is to not tail gate people !
