Default NJ Clear Bra

Hello,

Has anyone in the northern NJ area put on a clear bra (either 3M or Xpel Ultimate) on their cars and from which detail shops?

Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

you know the dealerships contract this work out to some local auto shop right? they don't do clear bra installs but give the work to some local business.

^ That's what I thought. I was wondering if anyone had experience with just going to the auto shops or detail shops themselves for the clear bra service. I want to get just the front bumper covered in Xpel Ultimate but I'm only finding pretty high prices for the services in my area.

If you don't mind driving out to Long Island I can recommend a place who did my GS.

Yeah I know they contracted the work out to some local dealership but fortunately for me, my buddy works for lexus corporate and that was one of the dealerships in his district under him so I only paid the local shop's cost which was $275. I could try to get you a deal

Alternatively you could try Status Motoring (Address: 607 Grand Avenue, Ridgefield, NJ 07657 | Phone: 201.313.0606 | Instagram: @status1). A buddy got his clear bra done there...

I'm actually gonna get vinyl wrap and Vossen CV5 wheels ordered and installed there in a couple of weeks. When you call, ask for Joel Medina. He's the owner and will help you out. Spoke to him last week and he told me he also gets 10% off any lexus parts/accesories

TEAM CV5 On another note, I was looking at getting a clear bra on the whole front of my car but I got quoted at some pretty high prices. How much do you think it should cost so I have an idea on what is a good deal and what isn't?

Status Motoring eh, I haven't seen them yet. Sick, what color vinyl wrap are you getting? I haven't seen too many modded or clean 3IS in the area. A lot of moms have them though.

Front bumper only I was quoted around $650 for Xpel.

Gloss black roof as well as all the chrome, satin white pearl body later. I'll get back to you on the Xpel for your front bumper
