Starting to consider doing clear bra in addition to the current wrapping of cars/roofs/interior/etc.

Trying to get a general idea of what most members would prefer and your opinions, so I can get a good general idea of what I want to do.

The current most common option for clear bra is having the front quarter of the hood/fenders covered with the clear bra paint protection material.

However, I've seen some mention how they did not like the transition from the clear bra to the paint, where you can see the two meet each other. So in order to avoid this problem, it is possible to get material large enough to wrap the whole fenders and hood.

Any thoughts or ideas to this?

its a good idea, i requested it when i was looking into it and nobody would do it, just too much money for the end user i suppose

I've already seen computer cut clear bra kits specifically for the E60 (non-mtec) for around $400. The kit is for the entire car. No experience on fitment or quality though since the kit will not fit my car, but you do get what you pay for.

You will probably have the most requests for front bumper, hood, and entire front fenders.

Here is a more reputable brand.

i have my whole hood, whole fender and front bumper clear bra

looks much better than having a cut off point.

Interesting, I have a clear bra on my front bumper, partial hood, mirrors and "a" pillars and I can hardly see the crossover point on the hood. Could the quality of material be at play here? I detail my car using Zainos and I wax the entire hood (including the bra) I wonder if that has anything to do with it as well.

Custom whole hood.

Now that there are wide enough rolls, this is definitely the way to go if you can fit it in your budget.

Material/brand does play into the thickness and quality of the film.

How much have you guys been quoted for the whole and partial paint protection clear bra wraps? I am trying to see if it is even worth it on the other end, based on the price of things, like what a previous member above mentioned.

Any more ideas/thoughts? I'll probably be ordering this stuff by the end of this week or next week.

BTW, be careful who you get it done by. Lots of places doing custom wraps cut your paint.

I am going to be the one doing the installs, so don't have to worry about that part
