RE: Clear bra cost

that would make me nervous. is it worth the $800? i was thinking about having it done, but i was quoted 1500 by someone really good that works on ferraris and lambos. im curious on if the sun will fade the rest of the car and not the bumper or anything like that because i would rather repaint my front bumper from rock chips than repaint the whole car because the paint doesnt match. Its hard enough to match tungsten

As long as you stick with the clear product, there will not be a color difference beween the uncovered vs covered areas...........You think it's hard to match tungsten............LOL........try Lizstick Red, besides if you've had your car for awhile and the paint on the rest of the car has faded, a repainted front bumper won't match anyway.

Worth $800? definitely, $1500 yes, that's about what I paid with all the custom cut pieces, what I have to go through to get paint makes it worth while, I've been so happy with it that I had all my other cars done.

RE: Clear bra cost
Mine was put on by the guy who does the S7 and factory Saleen cars. He works on Ferrari etc as well. It is warranted for life, has not faded, yellowed or peeled. $625 including taxes etc. It took about 4 hours in my garage. All piece were custom cut. I am very happy with it.

...it can be taken off, while my car was being done they made a mistake with the hood piece, and started to take it off I cringed as I watched them remove the piece. I looked at it after they removed the piece and the paint was fine, it's all in the technique you use to remove.

Are you talking about the clear tape? I wonder how long that lasts? will it turn cloudy or yellow? can it be taken off?

RE: Clear bra cost
I have the clear braapplied on my S281 SCby a company in KC that does Exotic cars. I highly recommend the kit, If I recall correctly the price was about $700 dollars out the door. I had the front done and the door seals done. The key thing about this product is once it is applied it needs to dry for about 4 hours and then the ends need to be checked. This will ensure you don't get any airbubbles, or resin seperation underneath the the product. After that check again in about 21 hours or so. Once finished don't drive the car in any mositure for about 24 hours and you will have a great looking clear bra will no flaws. The product is transparent, and it does not yellow over time unless installed incorrectly. I highly recommend the certified 3Mkits over a custom job becausethey are designed around corners and edges to prevent stretching of the material that results from thermodynamic change.The productwilloutlast the life of your car if applied correctlyand it is easily removable if you so desire by using alow heat hairdryer.
