Default Clear Bra and window tint done today - Lots of pics

Got the full hood, fenders, front bumper, mirrors done with Suntek PPF clear bra.

Cost was $5.00 less than the Lexus dealership and they discounted some window tint for me too, so a good deal all around..

For the nay sayers - firstly, the line on this product is invisible from 3 or 4 feet away. It is MUCH thinner than the stuff that the factory puts on the rear bumper and in front of the rear wheels. Also, it won't yellow like the factory stuff will.

I had about 5 rock chips after 8 weeks of ownership, so this had to be done.

This aftermarket clear bra is so much thinner than the dealer stuff though. You can't see the lines on it at al. I would have been very unhappy had I done this work at purchase, cheap or not.
