Default clear bra

i need to get my front bumper and partial hood and partial fender covered since im on the highway alot. Anyone from the bay area know a place that does good work.

does the name of the bra matter? i have no clue about clear bras so please any info would be great.

i got a price from one place and jeeez they are way over priced. im not spending $2000 on a bra for just the front bumper and front part of hood.

I'm not from the Bay area but $2K is WAY overpriced.

I got ventureshield done on partial hood, partial front fender, full front bumper, headlights, foglights, rear upper bumper, and side mirrors for (i think around) $650 cad. If I wanted to I could have also done side fenders and side skirt for an extra $200-300 thereabouts, but I declined that part.

I'm quite pleased with it so far. Seems to drastically cut back on the nicks and bug splatter since I'm on the highway almost daily.

If you can find someone who sells 3M clear bras, I can help you install and save you a good amount of cash. I live in Sac =)

Go to http://www.calautotint.net/contact.html

I had mine done there ($700 or $800) and service was excellent. The front bumper is the hardest one to do and they redid it (for free) because I was not happy with the initial cut (I am very picky).

Let me know how it goes.

I took mine to Premier in Fremont. They're pretty well known. I paid $700 for the front bumper, partial hood, and front half of the fender. I would rate their work 8/10. They left some bubbles and some parts of the film lifted. I had to take it back twice to fix things. Their customer service is outstanding though. They were fine with me taking it back to make things right. I'e also heard good things about Omega Tintworks. You might want to try them also.

I do not have a clear bra and so far I have only one rock chip and dare I say I saw it coming, almost as if in slow motion. I'll probably get a bra put on after I have it PermaShined next summer.
