Default Anyone had any experience with Invisible Bra???

Have any of you guys bought an Invisible Bra kit by chance? I was hoping for some feedback on the quality and fit of the pieces.

You mean it didnt protect the fender from rock chips therefore you have to repaint or the film its self damaged your paint in some way?

I have it, works & looks great. It all comes down to the skill of the installer. I called the manufacture & they recommended the best installer in my area. You pay for what you get. Unskilled installers will have bubbles in install & the fit might not be good.

I've got it on mine & it hasn't yellowed, cracked, anything. It has protected my car from MANY rock chips, my front bumper is flawless. I can't say anything about taking it off though. Maybe it will lift the paint, maybe it won't. We'll find that out when the day comes to remove it.

i don't have one and regret it. i've seen them on Z's and they look, well, invisible (until u walk up and see the sticker lol. But its not noticeable unless you're looking for it lol.) but its a good investment and i would recommend it.

For dark colors I recommend since every rock chip will make you shed a tear. Worth the investment and saves you a repaint.

I picked one up on ebay. Front bumper, top of fenders, 24" strip for the front of the hood, and both mirrors. It's laser cut to fit. Comes with a instructional DVD, and squeegees. You can go to Utube and see how to do it. It looks easy enough to do. I haven't done my car yet. I'm having some touch up work done on the paint first.

Default Costs

Since no one is mentioning a "price"..I had mine put on my 08 Touring by the dealer for $700 when I bought the car. Got the whole front end and partial hood/mirrors. One year ago and the front end is still flawless. Like the guys say the installer is the key. The guy that put mine on worked for the dealer and had literally done hundreds. He was very good and it showed....Good luck.

I got my car back from the body shop. last month, I was driving next to a semi. It kick up a rock that looked like the size of my head. Scared the sh.. out of me when it hit the windshield. As a result I have new paint on the bumper and hood, and a new windshield. I waited 2 weeks to give the paint a chance to cure. Last weekend I put the clear bra on (the car). I watched the videos on utube, and the video that came with the kit. Armed with 2 spray bottles of 1 soap water and 1 rubbing alcohol and water. I started on the easy stuff, mirrors and tops of fenders. With a false sense of security I did the hood. Not perfect but acceptable. Putting it on the front bumper was like wrestling an octopus. Little bubbles I didn't see (my car is PPW) at the time are staring to show up. Getting to lay down it the tight corners around the head light and the grill opening was frustrating. My job is okay from 3 feet. I'd be pissed if I had to pay for the job I did. If you want to diy, offer to help a buddy put it on his car before you do yours.

I have one on my black Z, and it looks great. Can you wax over it with the black wax? Seems like it would blend in even more IRT shine...
