Mike I just got it today..I'll be installing it this weekend. I'll be sure and post . I'm pretty certain it will be a breeze! I used to install the 3m clear mask on the front hoods and fenders of all my cars and there were a few that were tricky. This is a flat surface corner to corner....cakewalk!

I bought one, and the squeegee was missing. Chris at Racing Optics went over the top and I had a new kit the next day! I will be installing this weekend. Iā€™ll post about when done.

Unfortunately I will not be installing Racing Optics this weekend. This happened on my way home from picking up my wifeā€™s new GC Summit. Someone shot a pellet at me! Scheduled SafeLite to see if I can get it repaired. If not Gorilla Glass here I comeā€¦
Iā€™ll update when I have more info.

Unfortunately it seems to be a thing in Los Angeles and surrounding areas right now. Jerks with nothing better to do than cause trouble for other people. Oh well, this too shall pass. Fix it, and get on to having fun!

That sucks.

You still planning on putting the RO on top of the Gorilla Glass? I think it would still be a good idea, since GG isn't bulletproof.

Just ordered a kit myself. Hopefully should be here within the next week.

Anybody heard of this company, https://hyperformanceglassproducts.com/about/?

still not sold on the GG yet. have to see what Safelite says tomorrow. At any rate I will be installing the tear offs no matter what I end up with. Iā€™ll post about here as soon as I have a resolution.

i got my first order really quick after i ordered, and the second one showed up even quicker. They are really good people there.

Today I put the Racing optics tear away onto the windshield ā€¦pretty easy install although there seems to be a lot of residue trapped under the laminate. It specifies I think 72 hour cure time so if it is still like this next week Iā€™ll be calling them.

Seems a bit better than yesterday for me. Hopefully it cures later today

Yea, that's a bit obnoxious. I have a kit coming and certainly hope it doesn't look like that for long after install or I'd be taking it off. Hopefully it's just a short term thing.

Yeah itā€™s not as hot today so Iā€™m guessing itā€™ll take a while longer. Good thing is Chris from racing optics seems like heā€™ll make things right if this doesnā€™t work out.

Yeah I was thinking the same ! He seems to really stand by the product. Seriously after seeing your pics I instantly felt relieved!! So this is the curing process (much like tinted windows)and the substance will dissipate. We have rain the next few days and I used the wipers today for the first time and all was good. I also feel it was the right purchase and I do think this will help with any errant rocks no matter how small damaging/chipping the windshield. Aside from the spotty residue (that still is curing) it has no negative effect on clarity.
