clear bra installation is JUST A PIECE OF CAKE

What brand did you install?

 

Does it have the hook at the front or the back?:rofl:
A clear bra, I might enjoy looking into that.:eyebrows:

 

Yes, tell more, which brand, where did you get it from??

 

Tell us more! I'm taking delivery next week, and would love to install this while it's still "dealer-clean".

Any chance of photos?

 

Just don't snap it!:drum:

 

it looks good,$89. is a good deal. I wish they had a front bumper one as well though.

 

Has anyone had this on a vehicle for a few years? What does the vechicle look like after it's been on awhile and then has been removed? Is there rock chips ? Is it easy to clean off the bugs while it is on ?

 

Had it installed on my 2006 Silver Prius in Sept 2006.
Was examining my hood and side doors.
- No scratches
- No dings
- No missing paint

Even above the bra. I'm quite delighted at how well it has stood up, and the silver finish is the same throughout. IOW, dark colored rock deflectors, hide paint from the sun, after a few years, the finish is different below it.

So, two winters, two road trips, about 18,000 miles. It's a little peeled around the Toyota logo.

I had the fog lamps, headlights, hood, doors and side mirrors done. All that w/installation was about 300$.

 

Bugs & bird poop are much easier to remove from the film than from the paint.

 

I will be fully detailing my car soon then making the decision about getting the bumper cover. I am worried most about it peeling over time.

 

How does it hold up to pressure washing?

 

One should never need to know that.

 

I just had a clear bra installed on my car a week ago. They only did part way up the hood (like maclions photos),the back of the mirrors and the fenders behind the headlights. And it cost me $300. When I saw the finished result, I thought, "That couldn't have been too hard to install - most of the areas are relatively flat". But I'm not much into DIY stuff, so never thought about doing it myself. The biggest problem would be to have a good area to do the install. I don't think there'd be enough light in my garage to do a good job. And doing it outside you'd need a nice day with no wind so you wouldn't get fuzz or lint or whatever blowing onto the plastic. You don't often get days like that in ND. So I forked over the money.

Their install wasn't perfect. I've got a couple tiny bubbles on one mirror and a crooked edge on the other mirror, and one tiny spot on the hood. But you don't really notice it unless you're really examining it. Hopefully it will save me from a few dings down the road.

I wanted to have the bumper done too, but the guy said they don't do the bumpers because they are plastic, so they don't need it. I would think the paint could still get chipped off even if it's on plastic. Can anybody with an uncovered bumper tell me if they get chips on their bumpers? I might still get the bumper done. Will have to go to the one other place in ND that installs clear bras to get the bumper done if I decide to.

I don't think there is much business for clear bras in ND since there are only two places that I found that do the installs. Of course I never heard of such a thing myself until I found Priuschat and read about them here.
