I believe the clear bra on the LS comes with the car already.

Lucky them.

what? comes clear bra from the factory? i don't think so. clear bra should be a dealer supplied option. so the question is who did regency use to clear bra the LS?

Well, if you don't believe me, try asking the dealer about it. I have seen the LS at Richmond Lexus with a clear bra at the front part of the car. Can't remember if it was just on the hood or the bumper.

I stand corrected. You're right, certain Lexus models come with clear bra straight from the factory. I had a little chat with a Regency service advisor, and he told me that Lexus does indeed provide a clear bra from the factory (eg. LS model). HOWEVER, it is only a partial clear bra - it only protects a portion of the hood and the front bumper (not the sides, nor the lower portion of the bumper). S.A's recollection (without looking up the price) was around $150 for the clear bra only. A clear bra kit from an aftermarket supplier would still be required to protect the rest of the front.

Hi everyone. I'll be getting my car from North Shore. Do you know if they offer clear bra installation?
I am wondering who has the best price for this kind of service.

if north shore installs a clear bra, it would only be on the partial clear bra from lexus. for full clear bra, you would have to go to after market. see my post above.

I strongly reconsider if I were you guys. Just a heads-up, Vancouver Clear Bra is formally known as downtown auto spa. They stop doing detailing recently. This has been discussed at another website.

thx for the heads up. it's ironic how the website bashes other clear bra installers for poor installation, and yet i've seen the work done by them. just brutal!

I regret getting my car done by them. Maybe in a few years time, I can get it re-done by someone who is better.

I almost got my current car done at DAS, I guess I'm glad I didn't.

I guess I still have to drive to get the full bra installed.

I've heard that N-Motion has similar service. I'll have to check with them and Tint Centre to see who can give the best deal.
