What's a good price for the dealer install of this? They quoted me $495 and it seems expensive imho. That covers the hood area and around the headlights and then the back on the side mirrors.

Also anyone care to share what they paid to have the front windows tinted to match the rest of the windows?

Thanks.

Does it cover the whole bumper area, door edges, around the door handles and gas tank area? If it does then it is really a good price. I was quoted for $995 but got it down to around $750. It covers the whole bumper, part of the fenders, fog lights, headlights, side mirrors and what I ask you above.

Nope ... just the hood and around the edges of the lights and the backs of the side mirrors. Nothing on the bumper at all ... just the metal area.

If I don't get it ... I know I'll be peeved at the first chip up there, but if I do and then get a chip on the hood where it's not covered I'll be peeved as well. Just knowing I can get it is a problem

Has anyone put one of these on their RX? Not the clear bra, but the actual molded shield? Was just curious if they look worth a darn or not.

Thanks

Go for the LLumar product instead.....it's a much better product than the 3M one! www.llumar.com $495 is astronomical for the area's you want covered.

Husker4the

Can you tell me what makes Llumar better? Or is it just the same reason touted on the website?

Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen a bug shield that didn't look worse than the damage it was designed to prevent. Go with the clear bra or similar product.

Note: merged clear bra/bug shield threads.

off topic but where in Nebraska are you? I'm in the Big O. Awesome weather but not for long

Husker4the

I'm in Lincoln ... yeah I know ... the weather will take a downturn I'm sure, but I'm still trying to get 18 in at Quarry Oaks tomorrow afternoon ... supposed to be about 54 with winds of 8-13mph. Will be a little cool, but a buddy and I are gonna do it. How often can you say you golfed on December 31st around here?

Husker4the

Yeah ... I think you're right ... clear bra it is ... if they'll come down a little on the price that is

You can get the 3M material in bulk on eBay. And do it yourself. I only did the headlights on my 300. The kit is made of thicker material.

The llumar product is much more 'clear' than the 3M product to start with (the 3M you can see glue residue & makes the paint look drab & dull so that will be perminent once it is applied). It's also ever so slightly thicker film with better adhesion & will not peel as easy as the 3M film. Bet it's cheaper (if you find the right dealer) to install. Good Luck!

Thanks for all the info and the posting of the pics!

does the clear bra REALLY prevent paint chips from flying rocks in the highway?? Cuz if so, is there one for the windshield (had a trip before where a truck full of rocks hit some potholes, sending a lot of rocks into the windshield of my gx and making several chips on the glass )

Could anyone tell me what they paid to have the front windows tinted on their RX 330? I am awaiting the arrival of my RX 330 and might just have the dealer do the clear bra and front window tint before I take delivery if it's not a complete rip off.

I'm going to price out some local installers too, but was just curious what you informed people on here think

Thanks again!
