Clear Bras

[jaydoc1]

Anyone have an opinion on whether a pre-cut clear bra or custom-cut film turns out better. Obviously a lot depends on the skill of the installer. Any thoughts?

My installer get his patterns from these guys. It came out great!

I did the 3m clear film and it came out great.

wow, that video is impressive

Okay, I've been quoted a price of around $800 to enclose my baby entirely in film. (Well not entirely, but darn near ) Does that sound about right?

 

[Newport Viper]

That is right on the going market for a full job....

Just one question on clear bra before I have it done. Keeping the clear bra on for an extended time-does this effect the paint in any way.

I don't think anyone really knows. How long have clear bra's been out. A few years?

I vote for clear bras for any women who wants one.

Is there a noticeable difference when part of the car has the 3M and the rest doesn't?

 

[jaydoc1]

Unless you look at exactly the right angle you can't tell where the 3M film is. It's perfectly clear. Had mine done now and am very happy with it.

Silver is best, followed by yellow. Black is the most noticeable.

 

[plumcrazy]

on my silver car it's pretty hard to see at any angle.

It is always visible. You will always see the outline of the product.
It's sort of the same idea as leaving the plastic on the lampshades and couch to protect them.....

Thanks for your help. Now I have to decide what looks worse: rock chips or clear film.

At the minimum, get your rockerpanels and behind the wheel wheels done. It's virtually invisible and the protection is great. If you drive you car at all and don't protect those areas, you will start to see chips almost immediately.
