My Ride: A Car
I want to put some clear bra on the car. Maybe at least the hood, and fenders. I dont think I can find a precut kit and DIY for the rieger front. Anyone know where around NYC that they can clear bra the car? I think I can do the hood, fenders, and mirrors myself but I cant cut the film to fit my rieger front

Putting clear bra on yourself? You are a braver man than I and apparently have a great deal of patience.
I worked the clear bra installation and tint into the deal when I bought the car, but I think the clear bra cost something in the $350 range. The clear bra was put on the whole front bumper, the first foot and a half or so of the hood, the mirrors and the inside of the door handles. It was a custom job and they did not use the BMW clear bra kit.
Getting it installed is definitely a toss up, but here in Colorado there are a ton of rocks on the road and they use sand in the winter.

I think the front bumper is the most important part of the front end to put clear bra. If money is an issue I'd rather clear the front bumper and nothing else.

i cant find a kit for my rieger bumper so i just bought the kit for my hood, mirror, and fender. the bumper can always be repainted cheap. the hood and fenders and mirrors combined costs more.
I'll install it on my car. should be pretty easy. I'll have ghostteck help me. haha. cant trust stylezzza

You should just either DIY or pay someone to put on a custom whole-car job (or whatever they don't have a kit for). I think its a GREAT idea
