clear bra?
hey guys..
with the new car, I'm thinking about adding an clear bra to the bumper + the hood..
I'm leaning towards 3m.. is there another brand i should go with? also, whats the prices for doing an clear bra for our cars? i got quoted $350 for the front bumper with an 10 years warranty.
thanks.

I have a SunTek full kit on the LS, full hood and fenders. Had the 3M Ventureshield partial hood on the GS. The SunTek is a much better film, the self healing is incredible, and its so smooth you would never know there was a film on the car. Thats the route I'd go.

As others have suggested, XPEL or Suntek are the best options imho. Of course, these come at a premium in price.
I have XPEL Ultimate on my vehicle and love it.
If I had bought some super high end exotic, I would have clear bra'd the entire car, but 1/3 up the hood was fine for me.

Having had the 1/3rd hood and the full hood, I will only get the full hood from now on. Not having the line is nice, and I had some issues on the GS with chipping higher up on the hood and now don't have to worry about it.

That's a great deal. Make sure it's a quality installer.

It does and it made me hesitate enough to call more places for a quote.
One place quoted me $1100 also for Suntek, and another quoted $1850.
Another place only uses Xpel Ultimate and they quoted $1450.
My Lexus dealer quoted $1190 but only the first 24" inches of the hood. I forget what film they use, I know it is not Suntek/Xpel.
So as of now I am still undecided...

I did a Nano Fusion clear bra on my ES and it is holding up well. It's self healing and has a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer and a 5 year free replacement from the shop that installed it. I have no issues and it's also guaranteed against yellowing.
I checked all of the products out before deciding on this and it compares well with all of them. It was $500 installed.
