i had a friend that had the front half of his car done and you couldnt even tell untill he pointed out where is ended then you can see the edge but if you did it into a seam or panel or something you wouldnt even see. uv resistant too so no fading of the clear.

as someone who had a bra on my old car, its gonna allow sand and a bunch of other particles between the material and the paint and its gonna scratch the **** out the paint. just something to think about

you wont have to worry about dirt or sand because its actually clear vinyl that your laying down on the car. My friend has it on his z06 and its flawless.... not a single rock chip yet and as stated above you cant even tell its there. Washes and waxes just like the rest of the car

Its not cheap, ill attest to that but anyone with some patience and a basic understanding for vinyl application can do it. When my friends Z got keyed on the we put the new bra on. Took us a few trys/hours/beers to get it right but once we got the feel for it it wasnt to bad. I would recommend going to a shop that can do it. Most tint places can now. Prices are varying quite a bit so shop around. Just a quick example of what I mean. When pricing mine the local tint shop quoted me 600 dollars, Ferrari of Washington quoted me 5000 dollars and scoffed at the fact anyone would want to clear bra a mullet mobile Trans Am (damn rich ******** thinkin there better'n me)

When I get another paint job I am doing this. Xpel and 3m are the only films I would use for this.

Also for guys in CA this is the place to go hands down.

I got one on my 2010, the entire front end (mirrors, fenders, full hood, front bumper, behind the tires, and headlights, under 1k$, well worth it. If i ever get my T/A repainted it will get it as well
