Default Where to buy clear bra?

wondering if anyone know where i can get a clear bra film for my IS? i'm looking for only my bumper but the full kit would be fine also. the one i have one right now was purchased from ebay but the seller dont sell them anymore, the one i find on ebay now are the 3M kind which is to expensive and the other generic on is charging a little bit to much for. so if anyone know where i can get a hold of some please let me know, thanks

Don't buy the fleabay template kit.

Since you ask this question, my guess that you won't be able to install by yourself either. It is harder than window tinting and you have to wash/wax and recondition once per month minimum.

Have it installed by a professional shop (window tint shop). Ask your local Club Lexus mates about that shop's reputation before you go.

Good luck!

actually i can and did, well my hood, fender and side mirror were almost perfect, the bumper got a little mess up because of the bumper plug and the many curves and the fact that it was 100 degree when i was doing it, but i've done more tinting since then mostly window tinting so i'm pretty confidence that i can do the bumper again perfectly!

take a look

I have exact same one. I need to redo my clear bra also. My front has holes from rock chips. Luckily my bumper has no damage. Just my clear bra chipped. The one we have are very bad quality compared to 3M and other reputable brands. You get what you paid for.

everything but the bumper is 79.50 shipped

the full kit(dont sell bumper only) is 164.50 shipped
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...Q5fAccessories

thats 3 times what i paid, mine are doing pretty good against rock chips, so in a way if the rock chips does destroy the clear bra i can just buy new ones and redo it. i think that if a hard/big rock chip can destroy my "cheap" clear bra it should do a good deal of damage to the name brand ones. so either way you have to replace it so i rather stick with the cheap ones and save $$$ for other mods because after all it is juts a precaution, you might never need it at all
