I think clear bra-ing the entire car would be dumb. You can't even feel the nice smooth touch of your car. Only the vinyl...

I consider that a starting point. Look at all the clear bra in my siggy. $799 hood, fenders, bumper, side mirrors (what you saw in the video) + $250 full hood + $250 full fenders + $200 A-pillars and 8” front roof strip + $50 gas door = $1,549 (plus the rear bumper appliqué $69 MSRP).

I've heard a joke about bubble-wrapping the entire car, which I thought was cute. I've also heard the sound of big trucks kicking up crap that lands on my new car.

How much is the clear bra by llumar cost? I think the dealership offer it for $500. How long does it take to get it completely installed?

Check out this site and find a clear bra installer near you guys...

http://www.clearbrafilms.com

There are a TON of shops on this site so call around, ask questions, and get multiple quotes to get the best price.

GOOD LUCK!
