whats up guys got my 3m clearbra on today. stealership wanted 600 bucks to do it, got it for 350. guy who did it is on the 3m website, certified and guaranteed just like if i got it at the dealership. he is basicly the middleman that 3m sends to the dealership to get it done there. anyway this stuff is pretty cool. goes on just how a decal on a model would. you wet the surface, wet the plastic, and stick it on. he fits it and then cuts the outlines out. it fits very well and the work is quality from this guy. he got it all up in the crevases of the front end, there is no peeling or anything. he said on black it stands out the most, but on mine it really is transparent. you can see the seam on some of the pics, but keep in mind this is close up with a flash on. when standing next to the car, you really have to look.

he does installs at a bimmer dealership and said a guy came in who swung a turn wide in a parking garage while in his 5 series. he had this stuff on the front end. he scuffed the corner of the front bumper on the concrete at low speed. this guy peeled off the 3m bra and it was all scuffed, scratched, and a little torn. got it all the way off and no damage to the paint whatsoever. should be fine for what i do, dont plan on meeting any concrete walls anytime soon.

 

looks good

 

NICE, but chicks dig rock chips

 

chicks can dig rock chips all they want, but i cry when i get em so on went the 3m.

 

What about the extra weight ?
My persoanal favorite mod also!

 

Good decision, your paint will thank you later. I went with the clear bra also, except I got the Ventureshield film. It's stronger and clearer than the 3m and comes with a lifetime warranty. I got everything installed for $500 (bumper,hood,lights,mirrors). This is probably the best investment on a brand new car.

 

haha not trying to be a jag, but how can it be clearer??? this stuff is completely transparent. just doesnt sound right to me haha. either way yeah im glad i got it im sure my front end will thank me later

 

Noice! I got that done as my first mod too. I got my entire fenders and hood covered though, no seems anywhere, along with the mirrors and rear fenders behind the wheels (just a strip there, not the whole rear fender). And I had my lights done yellow, I was going to go with the Smoke but everyone said they couldn't see anything at night, especially in the rain with smoke, so yellow it was! I hate rock chips and scratches on my cars and this was a very good safety net.

 

It looks like it stops at the begining on the front tires. Does it stop there? If so why didn't you go farther on the sides and hood?

 

might be a newbie question.. but where do u get a clear bra done at?
how much does it cost for front bumper+hood?
Can u see the bra?
do u was the car with it on?

how long does it last?

THANKS!

 

Look at the first pic. It looks like the 3m stops right infront of the front tires

 

Nice im hoping to get some soon also!

 

Got a number? I'm thinking about getting it done, PM me his name/number and what he had done for $350.00, thanks!

 

how did he prep the car before installing? did he do a clay bar or anything? how does it look when it is polished and waxed?

I am looking at getting this done as well. Any more info on the Ventureseal?

 

Just had mine done this weekend also.
