Default good 3M Clear bra shop for a decent price?

Hey guys, do you have any recommendations for a good shop to do 3M bra? I just need the front bumper done but if it's a good price I would like the entire car (350z) done. Thanks guys.

I had CSI in Lynwood (Behind Acura dealer). I don't know what you think is cheap, $500+ is average cost.

Accutint at downtown Seattle. They did pretty good job for my Z and my bro's TSX. Also, if the 3M clear bra has broken, they will replace it with the new one for free.

clear bras are not an area to skimp on the price. I'm not saying the $300 guy won't do a good job, but make sure you see alot of examples of his work before going to them. I've seen some really poor installs on clear bras. A custom cut one would be best

he buys the kits direct, no xacto blade cutting. i think he did the clearbra for EFX. he did both of our tints last year and no complaints. most scratches on the film were self inflicted. the guy who i went with, before i found out about the $300 deal, was somewhere north of greenlake... aurora/100street... forgot his name...

Exactoblade cutting custom wraps are actually the best if done by someone who knows what they are doing. I personally don't like the look of the precut kits. Its not even an option for a kit with a lip, so it needs to be custom anyways

CSI in lynnwood has a training center to teach people how to install clearbra. The Nose of a VW beetle stuck to the wall for one piece stretch install is cool, they had a half a dozen training dummies for teaching different shaped cars.

yeah its easy to learn. just DIY. if u use xacto blade, you're gonna cut into the clear coat.
