Default 3m clear bra

my dealer tells me that the 3m clear bra is 975 dollars and its a reallly good investment. Is it really worth the money?

It's a great investment... for them...

Do it at an independent shop for hundreds less...

Hehe they'll make good money for themselves, course you do hear that the aero package (sounds like f1 ) on our cars does cause little rocks to hit the roof/doors/hood of the cars?

Overall, what do you guys think about getting a clear bra? How much do they run aftermarket, are they worth it, whats the best way to go about it, etc?

Either negotiate that price down or hire and independent shop to do the install. $975 is about $300 to high. Your dealer is probably paying $500 for the job.

+ 1.

I'm going on Friday to Aerotect over here on the West Coast .

They quoted me $500 bucks for red outs, blue fog overlays, and the clear bra package. I cant wait! I'll let you know on Sat how it went. GL on your search.

This topic has been discussed a lot on this board. Worth it? That is hard to answer. For me, I saw the value in it. $600 to cover 1/3 of my hood, bumper, air damn, side mirrors, and door handle cups was a no brainer. No regrets. Others seem to think that it is a waste of money.

+1 Francisco over at aerotect is great. I brought my car there the day I got it and don't regret it at all. Plus he can answer any questions you have about the bra
