I had the clearbra installed on the bumper and fenders about a month ago. I put the cloth bra on the hood.I've been doing highway runs behind other cars. Not even a chip on the bumper and fender. I was sick of all the chips on the previous bumper.

Good to know. I want to do this first to the Z when I get her, before anything else.

Can you tell any difference with it on?

Clear bra worth it??

One word... YES

I wish I had when I bought the car! lol

Yes, totally worth it. I had mine installed less than 24 hours after I bought the car. You can't really tell any difference. If you look close you'll be able to see a faint line across the hood, but on most colors you have to be standing within 5' of the car. Here's a pic of mine taken a few hours after the Clearbra install:

Yes,
You just need a installer thats able to willing to cut his own film instead of buying a kit.
You can buy 3m film by the foot so Im more than sure someone could do it.

Some installer would say yes, they'll stretch and cut the film as they go along. But if you paint the bumper, they would recommend waiting 1 month for it to harden before putting it on or else paint will come off.

Nissan paint is truely horrible. There are numerous rockchips on small areas of bumper that's not covered by the clearbra. I can't imagine driving around without one. BTW, somehow a rock managed to puncture through the clearbra on the hood, 1000 mile after installing it. but it's been good since.

got a quote for custom bumper around $700 to max $800. Heck, with that amount, i just buy new bumper.

But a new bumper won't last you 1 month before your first paintchip.

Each repaint cost $200, each bumper cost $300. It adds up if you want to keep your car looking prestine.

just do touch up. No need to repaint the whole bumper. OR just ignore the paint chip for 6 months and rotate with new one.

I have 3M clearbra. Its glossy like the rest of the paint. I've seen lesser brands which look dull.
