No regrets, went this time around with Venture Shield.

Love my ClearBra on both my vehicles. Well worth the money but the 10-15WHP gain claims are a little skeptical....
|
No regret...have most of my car done and it still looks as flawless (1 year later) as it when I first bought it :)
:bowrofl: 3M Clear Bra |
i regret not getting the lower rocker panels done.
i regret wrecking my car at VIR and having to pull the clear bra off, thus getting only 9 months of protection for my $600. |
I have the rockers done as well as the A pillars and roofline. I am very glad to have gone a little overboard rather than left stuff exposed....

Kool Thx! I booked the app for next week $400 for front bumper and $150 for hood and fenders half way. I have noticed that on white cars it really turns yellow.. anyone find this on their white Z's? |
Has anyone regreted doing clear bra?
Yes, on my last car (2008 Accord coupe). I'll never do it again. It was the real 3m stuff, installed by a pro and I was given a guarantee. Now granted, my car was black (a bad choice to begin with) and over the almost year I had it, the appearance really deteriorated. It was very noticable... you know.... you could tell there was something on the paint in any light. Like I said to begin with... never again. |

well well well. Im am getting the real 3M stuff as well. As a matter of fact i am having one of the certified installers from 3M Canada to do it. Should I be worried? have you ever looked into the problem with who installed it for you? They lady that i booked the appointment with told me the install's include a 5 year warranty on the job. interesting. I believe 3M is our only choice where i live. I have called other dealers/installers and they all get their stuff from 3M. |
mine has been on for 1 year (and my car sits outside 24/7) and I see no discoloration or anything. Still looks perfect. I do use spray wax all the time on it and very 3 months or so I do a complete buffer wax.
Those prices you were quoted are dead cheap. My bumper was 600, full hood (i highly recommend full) 450, Full roof was 300, half fendors 295, a pillar, rocker panel, mirrors, some other small parts...like another 200. IDK...it was a little under 2k. The guy did an amazing job and I would go back again on my next car. |
I have 3M on mine and zero regrets, even on my black car for almost a year it still looks fantastic
|
Ventureshield on mine for 7 months and 12k miles and it's holding up great. No scratches, no problems. The installer did a great job, I went back and had them do more (rocker panels, fender flares).
Edited to add: I drive my Z every day and can only imagine how horrible my bumper and lower hood would look without the clear bra to protect it the past 12k miles. I've seen Z's with this mileage without clear bra and it was not pretty. We have a lot of crap on the roads around here for the semi's and suv's to kick up. |
3M is a terrible film to go with on black. It has entirely too much orange peel in it and really stands out on black. Look at the bottom of this webpage and you will see what 3M looks like compared to VentureShield Ultra on the same black Viper GTS.
Home That is why I do not install 3M. I am sure had you gone with Venture you would have been much happier and had better results. |
Venture Shield FTW.
I have VS on both of the 370zBros and its like night and day compared to 3M. I have first hand experience with 3M, they were on the previous 350zBros Silverstone and Inter Lagos Fire and the film tends to turn yellow over time, it wrinkles and the lamp covers are twice as thick, what an over kill and terrible looking. The 3M bra, well it looks like a bra compared to Venture Shield that looks like an invisible film. I will try to find some pics of the 370zBros with Venture Shield and post up. |
