So it sounds like if you really want insurance, it's an additional fee from=
 Stonegaurd!
What is the fee for the insurance? Less than our deductable for comp insura=
nce?
Would depend on our individual insurance policies, but just curious?
Just yesterday I had occasion to request information on the materials for t=
he headlight films as well as start discussions on warranty information on =
some other window films with graphics we are placing on some interior glass=
. Talk about double talk from 3M. Sound familiar?
