Default Clear Bra Film in Dallas Area Recommendations - Help Please

I'm from Chicago flying out to Park Place Lexus in Plano, TX on Wednesday the 30th and understandably they will not install a clear bra until I've paid for the vehicle. And I won't buy the LS460 without laying eyes and inspecting first. So I would really like recommendations from fellow members for a contact in the Dallas - Fort Worth area that can do this on short notice. I'm picking up a 2015 LS460 F-Sport Certified with 18K miles in Nebula Gray Pearl. It was down to this one or the Ultra White Crafted Line. But I really like the Nebula Gray with the dark Crafted Line Wheels. Anyway, I hope I posted this in the right area. Any recommendations/referrals to a great shop in the Dallas area within the next few days would be greatly appreciated. And if I need to stay another day or two in the area to get this done so be it. The front of this car is supposed to be like new and I want to keep it that way. Thanks...

Note: Mods, feel free to move this thread as you see fit to a more appropriate area. Thanks...

For quicker responses from the DFW area you might try posting this in the North Texas Lexus Club forum. Good luck.

I can't recommend an installer but I recommend the 3M scotchgard pro film.

I certainly plan on 3M. But I've heard of some other really good film out there. Anybody care to chime in if you've seen or had better than 3M?

I know this won't help but a friend of mine picked up a new ES350, paid extra for the tint/bra install and had a horrible experience with the installer that the Park Place Lexus team recommended. It wasn't quality I don't think but more around lack of communication and significant delays.
For my 2 cents worth, I think nebula gray is a far better choice, was never a fan of the crafted line....way too polarizing.

Call Doug at 214-793-5115...he is mobile. He does it.....I got his information from the Body Shop that repainted my front bumper. Hope this helps!

I've had 3m, Suntek and Xpel ultimate. I don't care for the 3m and like the other two better. For clarity you can't beat Suntek and their new film that just came out is supposed to have a top coating on it where you don't have to polish/coat it and it comes with a 10 year warranty as opposed to the 5 year I got with the regular Suntek (the new stuff wasn't out when I did mine at the end of last year). Xpel was a close second and is also an awesome film.

Thanks for advice. I ended up taking my business to DFW Clear Bra in Carrollton, TX and went with the 10yr SunTek PPF. Chris and his crew did an excellent job at a reasonable price. Other shops in the area were charging quite a bit more. Thanks again...
