I saw a clear bra on a black car when mine was being installed. It looked fine.

Armourfend is another manufacturer.

A great installer is Envisage Design in West L.A. at TransparentBra.com

Jimbo, Thanks... Their site referred me to the person who actually makes their current bra's (computer assisted cut)... Just talked to him and got some some pics/links at: http://www.ultimateautocare.com/ultimate_shield.htm Included are two darker colored cars.

He's actually closer to my place in So.Calif so thanks for the original link on this!

3 years for the 3m.
Lifetime for the Xpel.

Lifetime. Wow, that's the best yet. I opted not to get the Xpel because, IIRC, it had a few extra cuts and seams and I was concerned at the time about wax accumulation around the seams. I went with Venture and their 6-year warranty which I hope is conservative. Venture says to wax the bra just as if it were paint. Installers told me the same thing about 3M, and I imagine it will apply to all clear film.

Yeah, I was told the same thing about the waxing. So far, so good.

IIRC = If I Recall Correctly - pretty significant for a fellow approaching octogenarian status.

3M is actually 5 years... To be honest.. I would replace it at 3-4 years anyway worst case.
