Default Custom Clear Bra

I had a custom clear bra (Ventureshield) installed yesterday. It took 9 hours. The reason I went with a custom bra was because the computer generated pattern had too many visible seams (and the recommendation of my installer). The custom (no computer generated pattern) one piece front end bra has only two small seams behind the headlight washers (barely noticeable). The most important factor in getting a clear bra is using a highly skilled and experienced installer. The installer I used (Monster Coatings, located in Bloomfield, NJ) has been a 3M certified installer for 17 years. He is so meticulous and skilled in every aspect of the install he makes it look so easy. I call him the plastic surgeon of clear bra’s. Anyway, I had the whole front end done which includes the front bumper, headlights, fogs and headlight washer covers. I included the hood (mild bikini cut) and front fenders to the middle of the front wheel wells done. I also had the door handle wells, side mirrors, gas tank lid and back bumper done. As soon as the rain stops and I can wash the vehicle I will take pictures and post them.

I have the computer generated bra. It is not Victoria's Secret sexy, but still cover right parts. What is the cost of custom install?

It all depends on how much of the vehicle you cover. Basic front end (no hood or fenders) starts at approx $400. You can cover the whole vehicle (thousands).

Who was your installer? I'm looking to get a clear bra for my GX 460 as well, and it looks like we're in the same area.

I've had the same clear bra on my IS since new (over 5 years) and it still looks great! Well worth every penny if you keep your vehicle for a long time.
