What do people think of Clear Bra Paint Protection?

Damn that really sucks. I'm not a professional installer but from what I understand they are supposed to stretch the material and it sounds more like whoever installed this just stuck it up there and of course didn't stretch it to make fit right. Or maybe they didn't have accurate cuts if they cut the material themselves instead of computer cut on a plotter.

One thing I thought of was did you get any kind of warranty with this? I got the 3M warranty and you receive a card from the installer with his license # on it. I would take it to another installer and have them file a claim covered under the warranty. If you just had a dealer install it with no warranty that blows man. hopefully you get it sorted out. Also, California car duster is a life saver for stupid dust/pollen.

Yeah, I had it through the dealer, hes the guy that does all their clearbras. I am so pissed about the overall deal with this car, I'd have a good mind to take it to Fontana our Fusz for a brand new one (perhaps a different color as well) If I wouldn't loose $10k in depreciation... But no, I didn't get anything from him or them, I showed up dropped the car off, picked it up later that day... That was it.

And I do have a cali duster, I don't mind the dust on the car because its normal, its just when you have the two sitting side by side. You know what, Fu*k it, I'll take some pics this afternoon so you can see what I mean.

Hello. It sounds like you had a crappy install. Depending on the film if the edges were wrapped etc you can't really see it at all. The entire mirrors can be covered, it would have to be done in 2 pieces, but if seemed perfectly together you really can't see that either.

At any rate, put the car in the sun and let the panels warm up etc. If the film is laying down at 0 degrees, slightly pull up at 5 degrees and stretch off. By doing this, it will allow all of the adhesive to come off with the film.

Hope this helps.

Sorry you had such a bad experience. When done right, the clearbra really is worth the money. I think it's important to talk directly with the installer to make sure you know what you are getting. The leading edge of the hood should always be wrapped, but it takes extra time and experience to do this. If you lived closer i'd let you take a look at my car so you'd know what it SHOULD look like. If it was my car i'd take it back and demand they either do it right or give you a refund.
