OK, folks, on Monday I had my Invinca-Shield installed. The work was done by Dan Smith at Glass Tint Specialists in Maple Shade, NJ. Dan is incredibly conscientious, and really knows his stuff. He is highly certified by X-Pel, who make a product similar to Invinca-Shield, though I already had my IS kit so he agreed to install it. A few points:
I was very, very pleased by Dan's work. If you want a shield like this installed, and can get to him, call 856-482-2288.
Why didn't I do it myself? Although some parts look fairly simple, if you have the complete Cobra kit, you are looking at a lot of pieces that are not so simple to install. Dan spent more than 6 hours doing my Cobra. It costs $400+ for the install, but these shields aren't cheap and there is a pretty good potential for user-install screwup. Take a look at our first illustration, and you'll see why it was worth getting it done right. The complete Invinca-Shield kit:
