Default Clear Bra

Where can I get info on the Clear Bras.
What kind of adhesive does it use? Is there any paint finish risk of damage if the bra is removed?
Is it able to be installed yourself?

Default Clear Bra Info

Take a look at http://www.xpel.com/ They have a wealth
of information and make some of best kits on the market.

The 350Z is not a do it yourself install -- it is rated as one of the most difficult installs out there due to the large one piece front bumper design.

I have an Expel kit on my 350Z and love it. You can remove the film without damaging the paint. Also the urethan film allows all of the paint to age together without causing abnormal fading problems. It is pretty much a great product without too many downsides. Certainly MUCH better then any normal bra on the market.

My $0.02

Make sure you get it installed by an authorized tech, don't even try it yourself IT'S A DIFFICULT PROCEDURE especially this kit cause it so large. Where are you located?, maybe I can help you find an installer
Thanks

Larry,

Is it normal not to get the front plastic bumper area done as well?

The installer here does 18" on the hood, lenses (around the Xenons), front side fenders (under the lenses), and the flat part of the mirrors.

Thanks!

do some searches on here for xpel and clearbra. Or just walk through the mods forum.

There are tons of threads with detailed pictures, lists of installers, and customer testimonials.

Nah.. the materials are about 300+ and the installation is about the same. Most people are paying 500-700 total for material+install.

Its definatly better then painting your car all the time!

How much should the install be by itself? I was quoted $240 above the kit itself.
