3M clear bra installation ...
Hi everyone:
I have been thinking about getting the clear bra done for a little while now. However, I have been having a lot of difficulty getting hold of installers in my area. So far, I have only gotten hold of one. They are charging me $700 dollars to do the hood, the front bumper, the lights, and the side mirrors. Does that sound alright? Thanks.

Re: 3M clear bra installation ...
sounds about right.
i have installed 3 crossfire kits. the bumper is a daunting task. be sure to see some of the installers prior work...very important imo.
take a look at this kit for added protection (optional pieces)...i highly recommend protecting the rocker panels.

My Dealer had the complete thing done for $ 500.00, and where it was done through the dealer they will Warranty the work. They did a great job! I had it done when I bought the Crossfire. I don't know if this made a difference. However I've checked after and this is not the least expensive, but very resonable concidering it will be honored by the dealer. $700 I think is way too much!

Unfortunately, my local dealer does not do the installation, nor do they have someone they would recommend. It looks like I will have to go with an outside installer. What I don't know is how much more it would be to get the rocker panel ( or the other pieces ) done as well as Andrew suggested.

Re: 3M clear bra installation ...
I went and looked at the local akron ohio installer for the 3M product which is just down the street from me. He had it installed on a white van of his. It was smooth,but it had been on there for a while and had stone nicks in it that looked as bad as stone chios in the paint. Plus the clear bra made the car adifferent color. sorta like old scotch tape all over the front of the car. I might put it on the rocker panels, but no where else. I asked him how it looked on black and he said the color difference is more noticeable on black.
I highly reccomend Langka which was described in another thread. www.langka.com
it is a liquid that dissolves the top of paint bubble that you always get when you try and touch up a nick. Whatever is in(maybe some sort of weakened Lacquer thinner) that you put on a cloth folded over a small piece of plastic that leaves the touch up smooth with the surface. MAKE SURE YOU DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE PAINT IS COMPLETELY DRY. If it is still a little soft is levels up very good. before you let someone put the plastic on your beauty make sure you go look at one that has had it on there for a while. You won't like the look!
