3M makes most of the film the various paint protection film (PPF) companies
use. The biggest brand name is Stongard <http://www.stongard.com>.

Josh Sirota had it on his M Coupe. I believe he would have it on his M3 if
he could find it at a reasonable cost locally. I will most likely install
it on my next new car myself.

There is a place in Mountain View that cuts their own. I believe they did
the graphics on Derek Butts' IS300. The wanted about $1000 to do a new
BMW, that is when I started investigating others and practicing installing
it myself.
