Fortunately, I did not have to drive around with Blue Painters tape like Ldynred's car. =)
Just had my clearbra installed by Jeremy at Invisiguard in Northern California. He did a great job on my G35 coupe so I asked if he could do the IS250. They recently came out with the IS250/350 kit.

I thought it was a good investment since freeway driving and wet weather can ruin the bumper and hoods. The G35 and IS bumpers are so broad that they do not do a good job deflecting debris so I think a clearbra is a must. I had the hood, bumper, fenders, headlights, foglights and rearview mirrors done. He uses two types of material, one is thicker for the headlight and fogs and one is thinner for the body. He does mobile installs which was way cool since Santa Rosa is a bit of a drive. I thought I would share some pics:

You can see the lines a little bit better:

 

Very nice pics. Do you have Jeremy's number? How much did it run you? I can no longer wait for Premiere Mobile. Thanks.

 

Jeremy's number is 707-328-5865.

 

No offense, but if that's a kit, it's a bad template. It looks like it's hand cut, judging by the uneveness around the headlight. Most the professional installers, which I'm sure he is, use bulk material and hand cut everything on site. Opposed to Xpel kits, which are all laser cut, from proper fitting/designed templates.

 

No offense taken. However, if you are referring to the foglight (not headlight) in the last picture having uneven lines, wouldnt be hard to have someone hand cut the lines? I have seen installers work on G35's that decide to hand cut and also cut on the cars and they dont looks as good. The ones that I have seen hand cut seemed to have the apprearance that someone did it by hand (uneven lines, curves, maybe what you are referring to etc). Albeit I have seen some bad pre-cut templates installs. Take it for what its worth, but I think he did a good job.

Yes, it was a precut template.

 

is this cheaper or better quality than lexus' paint protection film?

 

Did you think about having the film tucked/wrapped around the edges? I think it might be a cleaner look. Did Jeremy offer that service? I'm trying to schedule my clear bra appointment with Sam @ Premier but, my dealer still can't give me an exact date of delivery of my IS350. Anyway, the price difference between a precut kit and a custom job with wrapped edges is about $300. I'll post pics of my clear bra when I finally get my IS.

 

Lexus no longer offers the paint protection on new cars. Those films used by Lexus are 3M made films fyi.

 

I never considered tucking around the edges or custom wrap job. Many custom jobs I have seen looked like they were cut by hand. Purely preference, I would rather have straight edges. I am sure the quality installers like Jeremy/Invisiguard and Premier do a good job regardless whether pre-cut or custom. So finding someone experienced is the biggest key. Does Invisiguard do custom? Probably, you should call him as I dont know the answer.

I was always satisfied with the precut kit because it still looked good and that it is less expensive. I have to draw the line of saving or spending $300 after purchasing an expensive car. I would rather save that for the spoiler. My G35 never had problems with film developing around the edges probably because I am so particular about my car.

 

Curious how many more of you are getting clear bra, whether you're doing the entire hood and what the cost estimates are?
