Default Any one DIY clear bra?

Has anyone installed 3M clear bra themselves? Any ideas on difficulty?

They are *NOT* DIY. Clear shield should always be left to a pro. Most window tinters won't even touch the stuff because it is such a pain to work with. If you DIY it, its going to look like cr@p and you have wasted all the time and the clear shield.

I know you can find some on youtube, but i wouldn't suggest doing it on a large piece. I had it done on my car when i was standing there looking and it is an art to install it. I believe that you can diy on a flat and a small piece.

I've tried buying the stuff from Ebay (the real one), but rarely a pro will allow using anything but their product.

If you practice long enough, i believe that you can do it. There are some tricks to do it well, but you can't learn it just be googleling. One thing i've learn is to do it on a clean environnement and you can use an insulin syringe to remove the small bubbles.
