I'll try and get some pic of the hood protected. There is still a one inch distance to cover the ENTIRE hood... but it looks as if the hood should have the line there. Instead of having the clearbra line in the middle of the hood, it's at the end.

Everything went smoothly and I would like to thank Francisco & staff for helping me out. Price was fair, and service was good.

Another IS350 Silver dropped off his car to get the same thing done so maybe he can take pix also to show you the difference (if any) between a GFM and Silver with the full hood protection.

Full car? Premier does that. It's around the ball park of $10K I think.

Outlaw, hey! Did I see you Saturday afternoon on Atlantic just by the 10 freeway underpass?

You realize that the clear bra isn't going to stop a person determined to key your car, right? It might make it slightly harder, but not terribly so. The bra isn't designed to deflect sharp objects weilded by vandals...

Maybe... I was all over the place on Saturday around this area. That means I gotta make my car stand out a bit more so you will know which GFM out of the 10s and thousands are in the San Gabriel Valley... so many of us

Has anyone used Premier Mobile Group for a clearbra install? How does it compare to AeroTect? Premier says that for $1080, they will clearbra an IS350 black exterior with aviation-grade clear bra that is supposed to be clearer and look better. This also includes the full hood, bumbers, exterior mirrors and quarter panels up to 24". I can wrap the entire quarter panel and have a totally seamless installation for $1760... no lines.

So, again, is it worth it? How does this compare to what Aerotect can do? Are people happy with their Aerotect installs?

With Premier, since I am based in Los Angeles, I will have to wait a few weeks for them to do a road trip down here to do the install.

Thanks for your help. I just purchased the following on Saturday night and want to protect my new baby...

Josh,....before I had my clear bra done, several CL members were gracious enough to show me their clear bras from both outfits. I have seen work by both and here is my accessment:

As far as the pre-cut kits are concerned, from what I've seen, Premier has a slight edge because the bra looks a bit clearer, without lines and such. But Aeroshield is cheaper in price. Both do good work though.

As far as custom work is concerned, there is no doubt that Premier does work that is second to none. This was the primary reason I went with Premier. When I saw how seamless and clean their custom installations were, there was no doubt in my mind who I'd choose.

So I'd say depending on how picky you are about seams, rock chips, and such,...that'll determine who you should go with. A lot of installers I've spoken with before claim that they did custom work as well, but from seeing the results in person, there is no comparison. Also Premier is slightly more expensive, but you get what you pay for IMO.
