Default Recommendations on Clear bra installers

I just purchased a LS460 and looking to have clear bra installed. I've done some research on installers in Southern Calif:

Advance Auto Engineering
Ultimateautocare
Stickercity
Instylegraphics

Wondering if anyone can speak on their experience with any of the above installers or recommend one in Southern California.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

Strongly recommend Aero Tect. They did my entire front end wrap. Will pay them a visit again once additional work is completed.

BTW, I saw you mention Ultimate Auto Care. If I am not mistaken you are refering to the one in Placentia by Sean H. They actually work on my cars before, twice on GS, SC430 and C320. His work quality is good but has the following limitation. He seems can't get his hand on large film which enable customer to cover the whole hood. I requested that on my GS and SC and he always told me there is no film that size (which we know is not true). Second, I don't think they are good with warranty work. I had a minor issue with SC430 just one month after it was installed. I contacted him and he was not really paying attention about the issue I had. I end up dropping the issue because I know I will not go back to him for my next job.

GSXOTIC - Thanks for the information. Actually, I'm thinking of covering the entire hood as well. I did put in request for quotes from the other installers including Aero Tect. Let's see what they come back with.

There's a place in La Verne, CA who did a great job on mine. I discovered them through this forum and don't have the name handy at the moment.

I've heard that you can't install clearbra over the hood, because it heats up and clearbra will bubble up.

I have the hood covered and no issue. On the other hand, I haven't been driving the new garage queen that much. I think someone else can chip in.

BTW, I just saw the Christmas Party sponsors list and Stickercity is one of them. Perhaps you can attend the gathering and try to win the raffle (not saying you needed tho).
