Clear tank bra

I just installed a clear tank protector. For less than $20 I got a better than 3m product, that is easily removable if necessary. Neat stuff.

Sorry; didn't mean to be ambiguous, but I didn't want to break forum rules concerning ads.

I speak of a vinyl kit that installs with isophryl alcohol (sp?) and water. It came custom cut from thetankslapper online, and it is a great fit.

Yes, there was a prize, but the man who bet dot.biz, not dot.com, already won.

I would recommend clear Scotchgard tape. You can not really see the film and this one on my fly screen has almost 24K mostly interstate. Easily replaceable. I cut a circle around the gas cap as well.

Iceman,

Does it appear fairly well held down on the tank i.e. does it peel easily? The tankslapper is £15 delivered whereas the 3m is £25.
