Rovers North has the hood blackout on sale for Discos I and II.

Anyone have any experience with this specific product?

I've been meaning to get one for my G4 DII and now seems like a good time. But, I'm curious how their blackout compares to others on the market.

As always, your advice is appreciated.

I would get John Vigg's blackout, he's in Jersey and a fellow offroader. I think Ryan Muller mentioned it was on sale and he can do the install for you.

Good luck,

John

Yeah, check out this thread: http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7355

Michael, can you get me the actual link to their instructions, or any pictures of the blackouts they have. I'll probably be able to figure out which vendor is making it for them then.. I wouldn't be suprised if someone like Chris Hyde was supplying them with them.

Ryan -- I checked JohnC's link and $52 is great. I'm in NJ too, so I'd love to save the $12 in shipping. That said, count me in.

PS -- You can e-mail me the details at home. I'll PM you my e-mail address.

I went and saw John today and had a 3M 5mil hood blackout done on the Pumpkin and it looks great.

I would certainly recommend John and his staff!

John's the guy that did them at the sort-out, right?

Yes Jason. John Vigg did mine at the Sortout. I am very satisfied with the way it turned out. It looks really good.
