Just picked up the car from having a clear bra installed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) . Looks great, or should I say, can't even tell untill 5 feet and your are pointed to it. I also had them do the first 3inches of the rockers to prevent chipping.

pics to come soon...

Anybody else have this done and if so how is it holding up over time?

Ferg.

Brant is using a clear avatar!

Maybe someone can take a pic of a model wearing a clear bra?

Sorry I don't have pic's yet, the car came home on a flat bed last night (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Out of Gas... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Gauge read a 1/4 and it would go to empty before, so now I have a new project before WCC

Anyhow, the cost was 200, It goes a couple of inches above the headlights. They also did some fancy custom area's around the turn signals to get 100% coverage up front. I also had them do the rockers about 4 inches back from each wheel.

It's the clear stick on film, and yet only at the right angle do you see the line.

I promise to take pic's tonight. but it may be friday before I get them up here.

I do need an avatar... but don't own a digi camera or even a computer.....

Ferg, If I get my black car running can you take a picture of my hood as an avatar?

I should of clarified and I apologize.. I have used the clear bra on three NON 914's.. so those wouldn't be very exciting pictures actually.....

but its good stuff, and at the driving school last month I even got rubber skid marks (from tire throw offs) on the clear bra hood of my ford focus... worked good for that also.....

How does washing, polishing, and waing work with the clear bra? It seems there would be a texture difference. This is probably in an FAQ on a website, but I thought I'd ask.

You can wash and wax it, actually if you wax it they say it will last even longer.

I bought a roll of this stuff a while back and haven't used it yet, But I'm planning on cutting a piece for the hood and fenders. A roll of 12 feet (12in wide) cost about $30.00. I forget where I got it, but if you google 3m paint film I bet a few places show up.
