I've just had the clear bra installed today by Advance Auto Engineering at Alhambra. They finished around 10pm it was so dark and I didn't check well. When I got home I found some problems, like because the clear bra kid is pre cutted so there is a big gap not covered near parking sensor, also at lower grill corner clear bra is lifting......could someone tell me is this normal? I just had bad installation? Or am I too picky? Thanks.

Some of my sensor is covered but mine is made from autobahn, I'll try to post a pic of it if i can so you can see the difference. "But" yours looks fine.

The slight gap around the sensor is normal. Mine is the same way. The part that is lifting is not normal though, IMO.

THe last pic, you can use the heat gun and press it in to get it stick to the surface.

Anyway, I used clear bra before and it wasn't great. My hood had two finish color when I removed it. But it was clean and have less scratch from debris than if I didn't have it.

Thanks everybody, I am glad to hear it is normal, the clear bra near the sensor supposes to look like that. I will try to use heat gun to shrink the lifting part to see if it works!!

Hey Worker,
Would you tell me what color your car with clear bra is? Thanks.
