Here's a link to it. I've heard that it works really well. http://afterthoughtsauto.com/xpel3mpainpr.html

I believe you can get it put on professionally as well. Some tint shops will do it. If I remember correctly, it was a few months back, I was quoted 315.00 for it by a llumar dealer. I had planned on getting it put on but ran out of money right after my quote, I bought other things instead I saw a silver Nissan Z with it on and it looks pretty good.

from what I have seen and heard, you might want to look into llumar before you go with the 3m. There are 2 sides to the argument on this one and Im no specialist in the clear bra area. It cant hurt to look at the two side by side..just ask for a sample piece at your retailer place.

I had it on my WRX and it worked great.. but it does get sorta dull over time compared t the paint..

You care for it just like paint with wax and such.. it UV neutral so your paint doesnt fade differently underneath..

You will see the line (edge) but if you want to protect you paint and dont want the hassle of a bra then its the way to go..

Not too sure about the website. Try llumar.com or try a search on google..you can find extra info that way on other car forums. When I came across my local shop they were very pleasant and professional. Showed me the whole deal. Compared 3m to llumar, showed how everything was cut and placed and showed the finished product. The place actually does quite a bit of the clear bra work there.

If you have a day off and dont mid making some phone calls and a few visits you could try that method.
