Clear Bra and tint feedback NEEDED!
The price you got does seem a bit expensive. The price of the clear bra is justified, IMO, only if you can find a reputable installer. I got mine from Premier, who's probably the best, and the way they did it (custom w/ wrapped edges) justifies the price. If it is simply one of those pre-cut designs, then the price is slightly high if they do not have the reputation.

For all of u who got your cars cleared out for that protection...its worthless! You spent all that money thinking that it will save your paint, but over the years that film will peel, change color, rocks will ultimately pierce through, and even though you have a warranty on that...it won't cover damage. Of course if someone hits you, insurance will cover it, but if you hit something you have to take out of your pocket again that extra $700-$800 not including the cost to fix your bumper because warranty will only cover the film not working not a crash! My friend who did his G35, his is already peeling at the edges and he has that "orange peel effect" from all the waxing. They say you can wax it, but common sense will tell you CHEMICALS ON FILM will cause some kind of damage cause realistically this clear film is sort of like tint, but it is exposed to the elements! Ultimately dirt will get under that film and start the process of peeling away from the car. Lastly, what is more sick is if you protect SOME areas and that rock flies somewhere you DON'T have protection...your clear film was worth less because now you have a chip somewhere else. Just get a new paint job or order a new bumper in like 4-5 years or better yet get a new car already.

SunShield in Anaheim, CA has quoted me about $450 for complete front clear bra installation, and about $250 for ceramic tint for all four windows and rear.
SunShield
Is this o.k., or is it too inexpensive that I should question it?
Your opinions and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
