Here's a quesiton I forgot to ask - does the color of the paint fade differently underneath the clearbra, from the paint that isn't underneath it? For example, if say - 3 years down the road i want to take it off for whatever reason, should i notice a difference from where the clearbra was to where it wasn't?

3M Clear Bra
The 3M Clear Bra allows the ultraviolet light to pass through the material and age the paint equally so there is no noticeable difference. The 3M Bra also has a clear coat, just like the paint so it is easy to polish and clean. I also invested in the headlight overlays in the blue tint and they will save your headlights from pits and possible breakage. I already have a few dings in my headlights from the track and driving in the canyons. The headlight overlays are so thick that even after large impacts on the material you cannot even see damage to the overlay.

Sounds like a sales pitch.
As far as a sales pitch, from reading this thread, it looks like most of the owners with this product feel it has more than lived up to expectations. Some of you claim its the best mod they have on their car. Not much I could say personally that would carry more weight with you all here on this website over what's already been said.
I do know there are lots of questions that I can help with and since this is what I do, its hard not to sound like I'm trolling for customers. I love what I do and stay very busy. I'd like to think I've helped many owners enjoy driving their car without being paranoid about beating the crap out of the paint.
Don't most of you with the film feel more secure driving your cars the way they were ment to be driven since the product was installed? Who buys a Z because they like to drive slow?

This is the reason why I DON'T have a clearbra. I would not recommend this if you are constantly parallel parking. Not worth it. You run the risk of damaging your bra (depending on how hard your bumper gets hit).

wow, thanks for those replies. Does the clear bra protect from tiny bumper hits from other cars, or from tapping a car while parallel parking?
I live in Chicago and always get scratches on my front bumper from taxis, ignorant people brushing on my car.

Well, turns out I got a pretty good deal on the clearbra. I found out it is 3m that they used at the dealership. The clearbra covers the bumper, the lights (I think, hard to tell), the hood up to the top edge of the lights, and the front of the side view mirrors. Can hardly notice it. Definitely happy I didn't have them take it off, especially for the price.
