I'm 3 years out on mine and no yellowing or fading.... still looks like day 1 (although I make quite an effort to take care of my car in general) and still no chips on the front, hood, or sides.

 

I had the 3M on my Audi S4 and I wasn't a huge fan. It was yellow and was peeling in spots after only a year. It was also a pain to get off!

 

EvolutionTime, what year did u have the 3m? I heard they revised their product not to yellow (as much?) at a certain date.

 

dont do clear bra, it ruins you for life,

 

So do drugs apparently. I'm doing it. Just paid $3900 for new paint on most of my car, I want it to stay there.

 

Good to see everyone is getting into clear bras. VentureShield especially since im the lead installer at Sierra Invisible Shield here in Reno Nv, we use VentureShield and nothing else.

 

i heard clear bras yellow over time... never really seen it though. hope you're doing it with a pretty big company because life time warranty doesnt really mean much..... if the company is gone in a few years =P

 

^I had XPEL installed on my WW X MR, and it yellowed 4 months later. Yeah, it's got a 7 year warranty. However, when you go to complain about it yellowing, the shop that installed it will give you excuses like they did me to get out of replacing it. I finally got it redone, and sure enough, 7 months later it yellowed again. I gave up. Don't want to deal with the shop. I will redo it at some point when I feel confident enough in a product that does not yellow.

 

What brand of film was it? The place that does it can only get it as good as the film. Just like any other car part. Some brands have better products than others. 3m/avery/ and a bunch of other no name brands have really crappy film. Not to mention white cars are the most difficult when it comes to putting clear film on them. I have a venture shield and almost no one can tell there is a braw on it. However i have a dark blue evo not a white evo.

 

any companies carry the option to have the full hood and fenders along with the bumper? so there wont be a visible line.

 

I used to sell Venture Shields at my local dealerships and they were quality. Anything that has lifetime warranty on it is a no-brainer in my book (such as my tint as well).

I'm suprised although that you found someone willing to do an Evo especially since the bumpers are complicated as heck to cut for, most don't even have a template for our cars

 

Any quality installer has no problem custom cutting pieces. The guy I use actually custom cuts everything, he use to use the templates but said he spent more time trying to get the templates just right then it takes him to custom cut everything himself - not to mention it gives him ultimate flexibility to do whatever the customer wants.

 

The problem I've found is finding a "quality installer." I'll take a few rock chips over a hack install w/ razor marks anyday. And if it's over $500 to install the bra, might as well just get a respray b4 I sell. Hrmm.

 

its not the bra that yellows - sometimes the lubricant used reacts with the bra adhesive and yellows...
