I just got back from Motor City Auto Spa. Car looks better than when I picked it up from the dealer.

Do you guys have any suggestions for clear bra's and installers? There were a couple threads on The 370z, but nothing local.

 

@Ali - That was one funny video

@sig11 - I have clear bra installed on mine. It is a 3M clear bra (Xpel Cut). I got it installed local by an installer called Larry Millen. You can find him in the authorized installers list on 3M site. I have also put his website around his name as a link.

But, I paid alot more than what was being charged in other places (say in Chicago). I paid 999$ for Bumper, Hood (1/3rd cut) and on side mirror panels. Alot of people in other states said they paid about 700$ for the same.

There is another installer called CGM, but he asked me even more. I think he quoted me about 1200.

 

That's what I like to hear. I had no idea from gawking at the Oakos meet.

 

Ali, just got your message man, sorry I didn't make it that meet either.
That is funny as heck though man

Deepu it is well worth it though black cars show EVERY chip man.

Anyone want to hit woodward on Sunday night?

 

Woodward Sunday? -- Sounds good, if you're going I'll try to make it out there.


As far as clear bra installers go I would recommend: Sunshade over in Troy.... I believe they're on 15mile(Maple) - West of Livernois.

My friends and I all repeatedly go to them for window tinting since they do the best work I've seen... no gaps - no bubbles - perfect. I had an issue with a tiny piece of debris that was caught between the film and glass when I had the windshield tinted.... I brought it back to Sunshade and they replaced it on the spot after taking a quick look at the flaw.

That being said I have not got a clear bra from them but I would trust their work based on previous experiences.

When I wanted to get mine done I was debating between Ventureshield and 3M. Ventureshield was cheaper and was easier to put on. However, the reviews were mixed bag and so I decided to get the 3M.

Now 3M offers 5 yrs warranty on the clear bra that it will not peel or discolor. However, to get this warranty the film should have been applied by an authorized installer. The material if you bought yourself was about 550-600 for the patterns I got. So keep that in mind when going for an installer.

 

sorry for the short notice, but if anyone needs to make use of a code scanner, i'll have one tomorrow and/or sunday. you're welcome to stop by. i'm 'renting' one from murray's - that's all they do. give them $200 and i'll get it back when i turn the scanner back in.

i've had the dreaded SES light since march when i did my test pipe install. bought NICE angled no foulers (stainless steel), and it still gives the light. so i gotta crawl under and check for other leaks/etc. and need the scanner to see what code is being thrown.

if someone knows of another place where i can just drive up and plug in for the code, let me know. otherwise, i'll have a scanner at my place for the weekend, lol.

 

^ autozone does it for free. you just pull up and they plug it in for ya, start the car, get the error , clear it if you want then your done. no cost...

 

ok, thanks. i knew i heard of someplace like that. technically murray's is free too... as long as they get the scanner back. anyhow - i'm heading to autozone tomorrow.

 

i think it's not the testpipe itself that causes the cel lights if you have the nonfoulers you should be fine . cold be a crack in the testpipes .

 

i went to autozone today and found out it's throwing a P0057 code, which showed 'bank 2, sensor 2 heater circuit low'. after searching, it's the drivers side o2 cat sensor. i'm going to crawl under again to see if i somehow damaged the wires to the o2 sensor on install.

i'll also check for a crack in the test pipes too - thanks.

 

I'm glad autozone worked for ya! Hopefully you can find out what is actually wrong. Maybe just the wiring like you said. let us know what you find...

 

on the subject of throwing codes - it didn't take long to get a SES after installing my HFC's. I searched here, ebay and amazon for non-foulers and couldn't find any for sale. My sensors point at a slightly upward angle at the moment - so the angled non-foulers are probably not necessary.

Where do I find these?

 

the guy i bought my angled ones from sells straight ones too. here they are:

that's weird steve cuz you shouldn't getting CEL's with hfc's. That's kinda the whole point. Performance increase with no CEL

 

True, and the guy I bought them from said he didn't throw a SES light.. I'll scan it at Autozone and see what the code is. Thanks for the link.

 

i think i found my problem, lol.

it was only partially cut. i split it apart all the way to solder it back together.

edit: i soldered it back and reinstalled it... then took about a 15 mile drive. no SES! fingers crossed it doesn't come back.... i can't believe how much more gas it sucked down and how poor my performance was. soldering that little wire was like adding a new mod, lol.
