Default Clear bra

Hello everyone,
wondering if somebody works on car paint protection or you know someone and wants to make some extra cash. I want to install a clear bra on my NX and wanted to see how much you’d charge me for it cuz at any shop is insanely expensive. I could help too, but I just don’t wanna mess it up, the film is already expensive
thanks a lot guys

Just pay the shop...this isn't a "I know a buddy" thing...anyone that can do a good install job works at a shop.

I’m afraid I must agree. This is a pretty specialized skill and I wouldn’t trust it to anyone without the appropriate experience - either current or recent past. Furthermore, the company I have used has a machine that cuts the film from a computer pattern. I don’t know if it can be cut manually and still look right. I would shop around to see where you can get the best deal, and I would certainly check references.

FWIW we had ours done professionally which saved the expense when they had to apply it second time due the first not being acceptable - and that was by the pros! The curves on the front of the NX are nothing I'd care to DIY with.

Oh yeah, for sure go with the professionals who will do the job until it's done right.

I've had four cars covered by the pros, and none were particularly easy, but the NX was by far the most difficult!
