Clear bra pics

[n4ally2]

Thanks for posting the pics. I went to talk to an installer yesterday and mostly likely will get it done. However, What do you guys and gal suggest to put on?
I was think of putting it on the hood, front bumper, mirror, door sill and head lights.

what happens when you want to take it off? all the paint will be faded around the decals(clear bra).

How much does this clear bra stuff cost?

I would put it on a new car, but I bought mine used and don't think it looks good after the fact.

My nose is in good shape (29k) for the mileage.

Good luck and hope you like it.

djomlas-I was told that the bra needs to be professional taken off to minimize damaging the paint.

blinkwatt- I got a quote for $700.

Here's pictures of the clear bra on my seal grey '05:









I'm very happy with it. I do wish I got the more expensive kind of installation where the bra wraps around the edges of the hood and what not though.

eslai - Thanks for the pic. I have been wanting to see the clear bra on my color and you just made my day! Kudos to you. However, i do have a question. What do you mean wrap around the hood edges? Are you talking about having the clear bra wrapped to the underside? Thanks!

n4ally2, to minimize how visible the film is, you want to cover whole panels (edge to edge) and not leave any film edges across panels. Hence, I recommend covering the bumper, headlights, WHOLE hood, and WHOLE front fenders (instead of partial hood and fenders which will leave a long edge line across the panels that will accumulate wax and dirt, thus become more visible with time). It will cost a few $100 more but IMO it's well worth it.

eslai, I don't think you can wrap the film AROUND the panels. On mine, it stops right at the end of each panel. One would have to dismantle the whole car to be able to wrap all around each panel, and that would be going a tad to far, I think.

dj, there are instructions on removing the film (with some hairdryer and patience) and professionals do it regularly without any problems to the paint. That's why it's important that the film is applied to fully cured paint so that the adhesive doesn't react with it.

Btw, I'm very happy with it so far.

Hope this helps.
