Default 3M clear bra

Where would I go to get a clear bra put on? Sounds like a very good product.

It is a very good product!!! I have it and you have to be right up on the car to see it. (can't see it in my sig can you?) It covers the whole front end and all the lights. I paid 710 installed and got a couple custom pieces made for the cdc chin spoiler and above the windshield.

I know where you can go in houston, and maybe my guy will know of or be able to find someone in your aea.

You could also ask around high-end dealerships like lotus, mercedes, and maybe even bmw. My installer works through the lotus dealer in houston but not for them. He did my install in his driveway.

I can't tell you how much I like this mod. Sure there are teeny imperfections here and there, like an airbubble, or a spec of dust that snuck under the material, and even squeege marks. Most are completely unnoticeable without getting right up on the car...like within 5 feet! All that shows up a little more on black cars naturally.






Had to really take pictures from the right angle in the right light for the seem to be noticeable...

Post where you live and I'll see if I can find a good installer in your area. If by chance we cannot find one close enough make sure you do your homework. If an installer doesn't have an example of thier work wait until they can produce one. Make sure thier example is absolutly clear with no dirt, air pockets or wierd texture in the film. These products can be installed flawlessly and if you are told otherwise take your business else where. Also make sure they are using pre-cut kits and not hand cutting. Nothing worse than protecting you cars paint only to have the area at the edge of the film rusted or stratched.

Yeah the price is no joke. Retail we charge in vegas from $900-1200, but most are high end Ferrari, Lambos, Porches ect... For a mustang $750 sounds about right for a quality install. And yeah you can always repaint but it is not oem and we all know how hard color matching is especially a grey metalic.

I will check tomorrow morning for a contact in your area.

I did mine through the dealer, the bra, headlights and A-pillars and it set me back $350 when I ordered it with the car.
