Someone else mentioned it, and they are great, but on the more expensive side. Definately worth it though.

i was looking into it and was quoted 300 bucks for both lifetime warranty. i thought it was too much .

JakeN5 · 11-05-2009, 12:53 AM

Has anyone used premier protective films international in orange? They've recently opened a new shop in irvine. I've read a thread once on the M3 forum with many good feedback. Just want to see if anybody here has the same experience.

They have put on the shield for over a dozen of cars in the past 3 years and have not had any issues. Very good, in fact, arguably the best in the biz. I'm glad they opened up shop in OC so I don't have to wait for one of their road tours. Site is: www.premiermobilegroup.com

Pros: excellent work
Pros: excellent service

Con: None I can think of

You're much better off going to Euro Auto Spot, which is owned by Shane Nguyen. When Group 5 needs difficult work done, it calls Shane. May as well cut the middle man out.

Zero.7 · 12-03-2009, 06:01 PM

I need to mount some new wheels on existing tires. Does anyone know of a reputable place that can do this without damaging the wheels and knows about TPMS in our cars?

I am located in Irvine/Tustin area. Thanks.

i_am_furious · 12-04-2009, 02:01 AM
