DIY: Southern California Clear Bra Installer
 
Preface: I have no affiliation with Aero Tect and this is the first time I have contracted their services. I explained to them that I would be photographing the process, and there are more photographs, but for the sake of brevity I chose ones that convey the results.

Our 370Z just completed its clear bra installation through Aero Tect.

Areas covered include:
  • Bumper
  • Headlights
  • Bikini Cut Hood with the hood piece being wrapped versus pattern cut to edge
  • Fender (to bikini line) and Mirrors
  • A-Pillar and Roof
  • Rear Wheel Impact Area (Aero Tect industry 1st)
  • Factory Splash Guard Impact Area (Aero Tect industry 1st)
Material: VentureShield Ultra

I was searching for an installer who had a shop as I prefer that versus doing in my garage or theirs—Aero Tect fit my criterion well with a dedicated bay, and the added bonus of all the equipment to cut needed the patterns in-house, plus design, and cut if necessary.

Since I wanted a bit more protection and in reviewing the car with Francisco Castillo (the shop owner), along with Jason, and Adi, they derived, designed, and made the first available (that I know of) Rear Wheel Impact Area kit for the large flanks on the wheel wheels opening just behind the doors! They are also designing a kit for the Nissan factory splashguards, both front and rear to help prevent the areas of impact from getting damaged from flying tire debris. Custom!

My wife and and I could not be more satisfied with the results. In fact I was so pleased (I was there during the installation that I asked them to custom cut one of their logos that we placed on the rear windshield. It is always great when matters go well as I always hesitate (read worry) when having to have work done to any of our vehicles.

I will be adding more photograph(s) shading the exact ares where the clear bra was applied (as I have in the rear impact area).

I recommend Aero Tect with no reservations as they are enthiuasts like us!

P.S. Watermarking the photographs with the Aero Tect logo was my idea (as I like to give credit to people for their work) and permission was granted for use on said photographs from Aero Tect.

Aerotect guys look like they done a great job.

Was this install done with the 150 micron (7510) or the 300 micron (7514) Ventureshield? Looks like a great job. I wish I lived in Southern CA.

We use Venture Ultra 7510CC Clear Coated 8.5 mil film. We do carry the 7514CC as well, but use that mostly for other applications. Most abuse a car can suffer can be handled by the 7510. I have taken my truck off roading several times, and still have a perfect front buper using the 7510.

I see that the 370z is on a ramp when the front is install.

Did the installer use the Rhino Ramp?

Canadian Tire

Did they use 2 x 4 to clear the front?

Thanks

Race Ramps, unbelievably lightweight; I'm getting a pair.

YamahaR6 03-20-2009 03:39 PM

It's nice...

But pricey...

Maybe should just make one like this.

MY350Z.COM Forums - View Single Post - any ramps to hold up whole car??

AeroTect 03-21-2009 11:20 AM

We actualy use Race Ramps. Not sure the website, but a quick google search should find them easy enough. We did not need to use any sort of extension to get the Z up on the ramps...

I guess Jim found it for me, lol.

YamahaR6 03-21-2009 05:29 PM

Thanks....

THe Race Ramps are great...but too expensive for me...

G Fo12ce 11-24-2009 07:54 PM

Is there a compatible kit for Nismo 370Z's?
