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:
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! Aero Tect 1935 Mckinley Ave Ste F La Verne CA 91750-5840 Toll Free: (866) 388-2376 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. http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...1-she-goes.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...-so-begins.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...ront-sides.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...ield-ultra.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...-completed.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...rs-install.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...rs-covered.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...ts-covered.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...-completed.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...-well-done.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...-tect-logo.jpg http://www.the370z.com/members/socal...-adi-jason.jpg |

Rear wheel impact area-smart move!
|
+1 some one bestow reps lol I can't rep you anymore Socal :ugh2: I was just about to see if I could find a video on youtube on this
|
Thanks guys! The splash guards came in late so I have to add those photographs. There is also another area on the Z they are working on with us to add even more protection to a very accessed space.
|
Awesome thread! thanks for sharing! Looks like I gotta add a DIY section ASAP with all these articles! :tup:
|
Thanks for the kind words Jim. We'll se you soon for the splash guards.

Nice looking install. I do have a question though. Why trim on the car for the fenders when there are kits out there that provide the same coverage? Xpel also has a kit for the rocker panels out. Have you thought of using their pattern and adding on the additional rear wheel impact area coverage? Would make a nice overall package...

Actually, the kits that are available appear to be non-wrapping kits. When possible we like to wrap the film around the front and sides of the hood, as well as the top of the fenders, thus making it a custom job that requires trimming. Beyond that, even the best kits sometimes need trimming. Quote:

Aero Tect did mention the rocker panel kit to me, but since we are installing the factory splash guards I felt we didn't need that specify kit; I might be wrong, but will find out over time (and chips).
|
I need to do this. Thanks for the post. I will give them a call.

Good group of folks. They did my 350 earlier this year...
|
how's the film quality as fas as smoothness? I have seen some cleaar-bra film with orange-peel of it's own - made the paint look even more orange-peel-like.

I just got a clearbra package (same packaged as socal370z) done by them, and I just wanted to share with everyone it looks amazing. They did a wonderful job installing it. No orange peel or anything. I would definitely recommend this place to have a worry free install. (We all know having peace of mind in any car install is priceless)
Thanks again Jason and Francisco, it was a pleasure! Chris |
