What do people think of Clear Bra Paint Protection?

Cown3d · 01-19-2009, 08:59 AM

^you might want to do the front of the hood too...no chips on the front bumper and then all these white spec on the hood?

my friend has this on his M3 and it does its job perfectly, excellent investment

Not sure I can ask this so that it will make sense, but has anyone had problems with lines appearing at the end of the bra? Kind of like, dirt wedging itself under the the end of the bra?

Well I got my clear bra installed today. Will post pics and thoughts later.

Here are some pics of my Z after having the ClearBra installed this afternoon. I'm pleased with the results. Cost was $387, including 6% sales tax and installation. It took the guy a little over 2 hours, and he came out to me to do the installation.

I am Heart broken. I just took my brand new 370Z to a 2800 miles one week joy ride to Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Canada and Niagara Falls.
Upon washing the car, I noticed a couple of dings on my front bumper.
I have to get it repaired and cover it with the clear shield. I live in Long Island NY. Any one knows any good body shop and the place to do the clear shield?
Pls let me know.
Thanks
Ben

Alex - Nice pictures. Can you indicate which product you selected and which dealer in Houston did the install?

It looks like they did a good job. I noticed that the two Z cars that stopped in Houston during the follow the Z tour has some product on the bumper, but it did not look like a great job and there was some pealing.

I'm also interested on it. Where can I get it? I'm in Houston.

Executive Motoring
2823 Hillcroft
(not to far from the Galleria)

I may get the lights done, not sure. I've done a lot of research and people seem to appreciate the product. Here's a YouTube search. If you go tell them Alex with the red 370 sent you!

wow.. very nice Alex. I am loving it! They did a really good job.

Price is great too.

BTW, off topic, what kind of camera are you using? It takes some vivid images.

Hi Guys, I am picking my Z up from the dealer in the beginning of June. I want to get the clear bra installed ASAP, but do not know the best place to bring it. Can anyone recommend a place near Boston or even southern new hampshire? Thanks!

chrishfic · 01-27-2009, 10:58 PM

i had one put on mine too. this the first time i've ever done it. after seeing my s2000 get massacred by rocks i had too. mine was $600 in cali it covered front end, mirrors, and headlights. it was hard finding a shop with patterns for the car

DIGItonium · 01-28-2009, 05:59 PM

Has anyone tried modifying their headlights (i.e., put it in the oven) with the paint protection material on it? I wonder if it's going to warp or damage the headlight.

I'd like to get the paint and headlight protection done as soon as possible once I get my car, but I plan to remove the headlights and get them modded in the near future.

i was wondering if there is a good company that uses xpel here in northern cali (sacramento).

So how can you tell from a decent job to a good job?
