Default Question about clear 3M Bra

Alright I am getting this one my car, and I have read that people say to make sure the person installing does this professionally otherwise it will have bubbles or problems. So my question is how to find the most qualified in my area. I mean what type of shop should I call? A tinting place maybe or bodyshop, etc.

I live in St. Louis MO in case someone knows about one specefically in St. Louis, but a general method of finding one might be beneficial to all here interested in the clear bra

Thanks in advance,

The 3M website has a search tool to find installers. You might want to start your search here:

http://selector.3m.com/selector/us/e...ss.asp?FAM=wtb

By the way, they showed 2 in St. Louis.

Be sure to ask if they've worked on 350Zs before. Ask to see pictures and for references.

A must, If the person doing the install does not have any experiance with the Z I would pass, then you want to see pics.
I had someone that did not do a Z and about half ways into the installation I had to stop him. When the job is done right the clear bra looks pretty good and then I have seen a couple of bad ones.
I call some else and I`am satisfied with the results.

Go to Xpel.com

They give you authorized 3M installers in your zip code and even designate those installers with an expert rating. I had a good experience with my install. All the film is precut by computer so there is no cutting on the car itself.

I originally posted about 3m but I have since read about Llumar, does anyone have info about installers for this product? This way I might be able to compare first hand before I get it done

I have the name of a guy in the St. Louis area that does the clear bra for a living. I originally came across him at a car show down at Fastlane in St. Charles. I haven't used him yet so I can't personally testify to his quality, but he had some demo pieces that he had done at the show which looked very good. I think he uses the 3m stuff. If you are interested I can send you his info.

Yes please send me his info, I am not sure I am going to use 3m yet but I want to compare everyone's prices and references. So the more people in my area the more likely I will get the best professional available in my area
