Question Clearbra needed

I need to get a clearbra now. I am in Austin TX.

I called the dealership, and they can do ithe front end and mirrors for 619 including a rental car.

Is that a fair price?

Originally the manager said he thought it was 300.

Is this something I can negotiate or should I look elsewhere. Please help! I already haev 2 bugs on my bumper.

Damn closest one is San Anton, two hours away..

I might call just to get the price.

Does 619 sound like I am getting taken? I dont trust dealers but I trust you guys...

I got mine for 395.. they said they were doing it for me "at cost"... 400-800 is standard.. I know, BIG range.

Make sure they don't half *** it. I have heard installers spend 30 minutes upwards of 4 hours on it. My installer was the 30 minute variety. I had to look over it with a fine tooth comb and tell him to fix a few things.

Oh and make sure your front end is suppppper clean and NOT WAXED when you go. They will try to clean it but it's usually half assed leaving you with dust and particles under the clearbra.

thanks roy... i suppose 550 isnt great but isnt terrible, plus the reason we get a rental car is because the installer does it early in the morning when the car and outside are cool. That sort of attention and willingness to spend time is one reason I went with the dealer. Plus if they screw up my car Ill kill em.

Its verrry clean but will have like two bugs on it. I just bought it two nights ago, and no wax or anything has been put on it.

The service manager told me that the installer will look and clean off any bugs or marks first.

I feel confident about this installer so far. Knock on freeakin wood.
I dont have time to take it so my wife stopped by and picked it up for me. I really had to twist her arm to get her to drive it

And it really hurt to see it go, even for a day. I think I am gonna cry when it comes time to sell this car.

I've had the car 3 months and the honeymoon period is decidedly NOT over. I love it....

I'm surprise the "cool morning install" or whatever is an issue. My installer pulled it into the dealer's vehicle bays. In fact, my dealer is pretty new so they have this super-efficient filtration system and the garage is so clean you can literally eat off the floor.

Good luck! Make sure they don't clearbra a portion of the side reflector/corners b/c you are going to want to put JDM clear corners in that baby!

Ahhh shes back! The install is practically perfect. I am VERY satsified and will higly recommend Round Rock Nissan for those in central TX.

And when I got back to work the bug marks rubbed off with my finger. And I didnt have to apply pressure... just wipe my finger.

Course then my finger had bug guts in it...damn
