Default Finally, got VentureShield ClearBra installed (details inside)

Finally got it installed (from certified VS shop in NJ). The biggest regret is waiting too long and not doing it 6 month ago when I got my car...

Following are the patterns:

Bumper


Hood


Headlights


And, here are the pics. I tried hard to find an angle where you can see it better. Mostly, these are hood pictures (a little over 1/3 of the hood is covered). You can probably see some contrast since they applied a little extra wax on top of the film.

Yeah, its hard to see. Another thing I enjoyed when I got back home, bugs wipe off easily especially those bloody ones Price is a little under five bills And product comes with a lifetime material replacement warranty.

Do the installers wax/leave wax under the clear bra, or do they remove any wax that you have applied prior to installation?

Never applied wax to the car yet, I believe it came with a coat from a factory? Either way, they would remove it and apply wax on top of the film.

twister, did you have any chips on the hood prior??? and did you touch them up before hand or what? I've got several chips so I wonder if its really too late. I've added touch up paint that I bought from the dealer and it helps, but still not perfect...so not sure if I want to invest that money or not on it with 12K on the car

I had a few touch ups, and a few that I missed (one on the side mirror). They even found a scratch on one of the headlights. Trust me, its not too late, because it will only get worse. I mentioned that in another thread, 3GS paint is way too soft. I went to carwash before clearbra install and used a regular brush wash, and had my front of the hood scratched up. Don't know how, but clearbra concealed that very well. Now, I need to get porter cable to get rid off scratches on the roof LOL!!!

Ventureshield is good stuff.

Our own clear bra vendor Aerotect is the exclusive West Coast distributor for Venture.

Nice job because I can't see it.

My black isn't much fortunate, it’s hard to keep clean from dust and you can actually see the line on the hood.

You don't just buy it, you have to look up for certified dealer/installer in your State or Country. Go to www.ventureshield.com and look it up. For example, in your country it points to this installation place:

British Center
Khalidiya 72460
KUWAIT

Phone: +965 4724222
Fax: +965 4757884
Website: www.britishcenter.org
