So my car just got out of the paint booth a month and a half ago and the paint is cured and a perfect rich dark black with no paint chips !

I bought a 3M clear bra on eBay and it came in the mail a couple of days ago.

Has anyone put one on their Evo IX and have any further suggestions or tips other than the provided text document I received from their website?


I'm looking for those who have installed one on their Evo and any special tips they can provide.

Thanks in advance!

Youtube has some pretty good videos on installation.

I didn't do it myself but these should give you some idea.



I love my 3M Clear Bra; one of the best things I bought for the Evo.

Good luck and take it slow when doing this.

 

Thanks..I'll check those out!

 

GL I'm sure you'll enjoy it! My car has 3M coating on the front and sides. I didn't even notice it until a friend pointed it out a week after I bought my car. Mine's color matched I think, but it looks great. Can't even tell the difference and I rather get chips on that instead of my nice evo hood. Take some pics of install if you can. I know I'll have to reinstall them at some point.

 

use plenty of lightly soapy water. do alittle wax on edges that you must stretch the clearbra over. dont let it get too hot but warm it up with a heatgun or blowdryer, it will make it easier to work with.

 

kinda off topic but do you remember who you bought it from on ebay id love to get one??

I offered him $80 and he took.

 

some people say the bra yellows, but it's most likely the solution you apply it with drying and coloring!

 

Oo sweet thanks man

 

All the clear bra's need to be waxed after setting out in the sun. If you do that they will look great all the time. If it was to ever get a yellow tint to it. Just get some light rubbing compound and lightly apply and it will look like new.

 

ive had mine on since i bought the car but i would encourage prof installation. otherwise enjoy my car still looks great

 

what's the point of the clear bra btw? for paint protection ??

 

Yep its for the paint protection. It keeps rocks and other stuff from chipping the paint.

 

Thanks!

 

Any thoughts on getting one of these bras to cover a CF hood?
