ordered one; it's supposed to cover the front bumper, front of the hood, and the mirrors.

for those that have them, can you easily see the line on the hood where the bra ends?

 

The Z I bought has one. The Line is easily seen. I like it protects the bumber and hood and looks clean. I just wonder how long do they last?

 

it depends on the color car. You can see it easyer on lighter car then darker. I have clear bra on mine, and plus had my CF lip cleared. It is the best investment you can spend on your car. I have had mine for 2 years now no toubles yet.

 

i have one on my daytona blue z and it is visible at certain angles, but it hides itself well imo.

 

the ones that have the clear bra do you have any chips at all do rocks gouge sp? into the plastic like they do the paint? My bumper is already chewed up and its an 06 lol when i get my new bumper and paint and such im def. going this route.

 

You can barely see the lines & only at certain angles. The clear bra is much better than the black vinyl bras that are 60's technology. It's worth the cost, especially if you just bought a new Z. Most dealerships nowadays are installing clear bra on high-end sports cars.

To OP: if you ordered the clear bar, are you installing it yourself? I suggest you have professionals install it for you.

 

Bought mine and installed myself. Wasn't easy, but looks great.

 

^i think its better to have professionaly install because it is tricky.

I have gotten rocks that gouged the materal but not to the paint. So the clear bra is doing its job plus there has been couple black rubber marks from the truck treads, but it too is on the clear bra not my paint I also have a CF lip on my bumper, and the first thing i did was get a clear bra put on. So far so good, no rock chips. (knock on wood)

 

My car is black and the bra is very noticeable in my opinion. The car's paint just shines so much more than the bra that it stands out, especially after a fresh coat of wax.

 

I just got the nismo front bumper (v1 i think, the whole bumper, not just the lip) and I wanna get this for mine when it's done being painted... can i still get it put on? or what are my options

 

Just bought a brand new Z as well. I don't drive it much, hopefully I save up enough soon to purchase one for my Z. It's been almost three months since I bought it and only 145 miles on it. Darn I need a clear bra! Expensive, but worth it.

 

E bay, $9.99 plus shipping. Looks as good as professional ones. Takes two to install.

 

im looking for one too. is the ebay one as good of quality as 3M?

 

Should i have a shop install this or try it myself? it's a really big job to line it up and make sure all the air bubbles are taken out etc...

can you cover the entire hood? no just 1/3 of it?

 

I haven't seen the 3m, but the ebay one had went on with no problems except with getting all the bubbles out.

 

was it pretty thick?
i found some on ebay that people said was really thin and ripped during install

 

You can still get one put on, but id have a pro install it since it will be custom fit.

 

you do realize...Z cars already have some of the 3M clear bra on each and every 1 of em just look in front of the rear wheels, both sides, this will give you an idea of what the lines will look like on your car
