Default 3M Clear Bra Instal

Hi guys... Here are a few pics of having the 3M clear bra installed on my 08 IS350. It is barely noticable. One must look very closely to see the lines under garage type lighting. When outdoors, you can't even see it. Highly recommended.

Clear bra was on of those mods, completley overlooked when I first got the car....

Now I definitely regret not doing it, too late now Good job, and clean Install.

Nice Work on the Clear Bra.. You won't regret getting it.. Its already saved my paint a couple of times in the 1st 1,000 miles of driving.

Did you get the Nav Screen Skin done too??

Thing i noticed about the clear bra, i saw a ferrari around here, and you can tell that it "distorts" the paint. Like i was looking at the reflection on the hood. And the part with the clear bra everything was blurry, and on the actually hood it was a nice sharp reflection. I guess in a way i rather see a blury image then a rock chip but still =/

I can read between the lines. I'll do a nice photo shoot very soon of my "sexy IS", promise. I want to finish a few more mods before my first shoot.

If I could do it again, I wouldn't get my clear bra because it becomes too noticable when it gets older.

Mine came with a 5 year warranty from fading, color change, peel... Doesn't yours? If it is changing color, get it replaced.

What exactly do you mean by overlap the edges? Mine is a perfect fit. I've washed the car twice since then and have not noticed any problems with fitment. The precut was right on target.
