I'd love to hear about your buying experience, I'm in Miami and will probably buy or lease the Z when my current lease on my Acura TL-S is up. Which dealership you went to, how you bargained, all that... share share!

This guy is in Boca but usually travels all over the area doing installs, he is absoultely the best www.autosupershield.com he does a really nice job and wraps the edges of the hood and stretches the clear bra in corners so there are no seams, all you see is the back line on the hood and almost nothing on the bumper. His name is Pepi.

What are the brands they use? How much for installation? How many hours for install?

AutoSuperShield uses 3M

His install is around 600-700 and he takes about 4-5 hours, some may say it is expensive but you have to look at what you are getting, when you look for a clear bra check on their installs, the main differences I have seen between AutoSuperShield and others is that he wraps the edges of the bra on the hood so you only see the back line while others just lay it on top and you see an edge all around the hood which not only looks bad but leaves the edges unprotected, also on the bumper some cut the br to lay it downaround curves like next to the headlight he instead stretches the clear bra to lay down and you cannot see it that is mainly the differences between installs so his is basically a custom install and not just a kit.

Here are some pics.

This first one is of a clear bra I had done for free becuase they wanted to get a template since the 350Z had just come out, it was such a lousy job I had it removed and paid 700 for Pepi to do it right, it was a bad job on the bumper mainly but here you can see what most clear bras look like on the hood edges and fender, it is hard to see but if you look closely at the edges you can see the edge of the clear bra. ANother main thing is the quaility of the install as well, as you can see his is very clear and some people didn't see until the saw the rear line and some actually thought I had been scratched, while other jobs I have seen are hazy and not clear.



Here is a close up of the one Pepi did first of the front edge of the hood and then of the side edge of the hood and the edges of the fender, as yo ucan see no bra edge is visible other than the back lines.




And here is a shot of the bumper and what I was saying about the headlight area where he stretches it to fit into the area where I have seen others just cut the bra and fold the two sides down.



And here is proof of why it is good to get one, I soda can came flying out of the bed of a truck and hit my fender and it ripped the clear bra but left the paint untouched.
