Alright I've added more pics to my Clear Bra Gallery these pics I took delibertly to show it so people can see the installiation work.

I got a pretty good deal on it for $460 total including the material and labor its suppose to be $530 but since I referred 3 other people to him who did it at the same time (*within 3 day period*) he gave me a huge discount.

Yo EBMCS03:

Can you refer me to the same guy that did it for you? I'm still in consideration mode...I now have some minor rock chips...but I still think the bra doesn't look great on a jet black car...I may just eat it and have the front re-painted once or twice a year! ...and some time maybe I can check out the bra-installation personally.

Thanks

$1700 retail, I paid much less. I promised not to divulge the discount price. It was also 90% custom work. It took about 3 full days to do. I was there the whole time.

Got mine done a month after purchase. Just a couple of nicks before installation. In most lighting, you can't notice it unless you're really looking for it. Under certain lighting, the line across the hood and fenders is quite noticeable. The bumper is well done and barely noticeable.

Overall, I like it. Would probably do it again (kinda pricey though). Nice feeling to know front end is gonna look good 3-4 years from now...


ClearShield by CP Films (new film, lifetime warranty)
- custom cut
- extended coverage on hood (up to turn signal ends)
- full bumper (side to side, in between grille, lower air dam)
- both mirrors
- driver side door handle cup (two horizontal strips, not fully covered, will probably have them do it again)
- $650 (retail $800)
- took about 4 hours

What you have is good... I dont even have the door cups and rocker panals, (*where are the rocker panels*)


Oh wait... what about bumper? you didnt indicate that but I assume thats also getting coverage...

FOGS??? I'll be interested if your installer can install on the fogs... mine said they were WAAAAY to round and cant install a piece on it.

Definitely get the front bumper done. I assume that the rocker panels are along the sides under the doors. Mud guards might be a consideration, too.
