Thanks! Now for the clear bra! Sucks not being able to drive it on highways till the paint cures and I can get the clear bra on. Anyways, I get it done on Saturday so I'll post more pics of the clear bra after it gets installed. I'm going with venture shield. I have it on my other car and it's holding pretty well.

^ Yeah, you definitely have to wait for that paint to cure. I heard a horror story involving an LS that was undergoing a show-car build. They tried to clear bra it right after painting and it bubbled up etc. Had to redo the whole thing.

Yeah, the clear bra guy told me if it gets put on too early, the paint will come off with the clear bra when you try to remove it. Ya, I'm going to wait till it cures.

I had the clear bra put on my headlights, fogs, mirrors, hood, and fender. I'm going to have to wait on the bumper until the paint cures. I aimed my halogen lights directly at the car so that you can see where the clear bra is. When the car is outside, it's hard to see it at all.
The clear bra I used is from venture shield whom 3m bought out. It's pretty thick. I think it's the best clear bra out there. Also, the clear bra was precut using xpel. I have the same thing on my Lancer for about 6 months now and the front looks as good as new, and no yellowing. I just use Plexus to clean the clear bra after each wash.

Got my car back and had all the dents/scratches taken out as well as the license plate holes. Unfortunately, the dent couldn't be taken out by pdr method. Had to go the more expensive traditional route. I'm happy though. Got it done at Michael's Auto body and paint in Fullerton, CA.
