Hey All,

Anyone have a clear bra installed by ProFinish Motorsports in Pleasanton, or know anything about them?

Thanks!!!

 

Never heard of them. Vince @ Omega Tint does clear bra's. Here's his info:

OMEGA TINTWERKS
3701 Old Santa Rita Rd. #18
Pleasanton, CA 94588
925-227-1322

Or you can try Jeremy's mobile service:

INVISIGUARD
707-328-5865


Can't go wrong with both, they do great work.

 

^ i agree. its a matter of preference of what kind of bra between the both.
vince does llumar. jeremy does 3m.
vince did my car. and i'm actually having another bra put on another car tomorrow (sat.). come by at noon and have a look-sy.

 

Hmm...that's interesting. Profinish is located at 3723 Old Santa Rita Road. Two clear bra installers within a block of each other!?!?
Well, thanks guys, it'll be easy enough to check out both shops!

 

vince @ omega also does 3m. it depends on the color of your car for which brand is better.

 

Check out "Clear Armor" in Mountain View

 

Yea, I met Vince Saturday--nice guy. After our discussion, I think I'm going with the Llumar. Vince showed me the Llumar and 3M side by side, and the Llumar was near totally transparent vs. the 3M film.. Also, Vince was installing the 3M on a Porsche while I was there, and while I couldn't really tell there was any film on the car, it was the Porsche paint that gave the film away: There's no orange peel to the Porsche paint at all, but the 3M film exhibited a little of that effect, and that's where I could see a difference--granted the film hadn't cured, yet, so I don't want to pre-judge, and with the Nissan orange peel, it probably wouldn't show. Still, it looks like the Llumar for me!

 

guess i just missed ya. he was finishing up on the boxster when i got there.

 

hey guys, wuts the best type of bra for a cs z and wuts the expected price for the bra + install thanxx

 

Just give one of the guys listed above a call. They'll tell you what's the best material for certin color and give you a good price too. They're very honest guys. I wouldn't recommend them if they were shady.

 

HAY !!! if your car shows swirls, make d_mm sure you remove them where the bra is going. YOU can't get them OUT later.

 

I'm not worried about swirls on my CS (tain't none ); it's the 4 rock chips on my hood that I hope to have touched up and "minimized" prior to having the film applied that I'm concerned about. Otherwise, I'll just have to be content with knowing that I (hopefully) won't get anymore [chips].

 

Good choice going with Vince, I havent heard anything good about Profinish. llumar and 3M are both great films but I use Llumar on most cars since it looks so much better than 3M and use #M on big bulk jobs like RVs since its so much cheaper.

 

I would avoid 3M on CS or or white since it has a tendency to begin to yellow after about a year on very light colors

 

Just a follow-up: Had Vincent install the clear bra last week and he did an awesome job! Just hope the moist weather doesn't affect the curing process, though.

I also had Ryan from RJ's Paint Shop (also located on Old Santa Rita Rd.) touch up several paint chips. Top notch service and quality!

 

can take some shots of the touch up? i wanna consider this before doing a full on paint job...

Thanks...

BTW: Vince is da man... did he share some of his wisdom with you?

 

I can try and take some shots, but I swear I can't see a difference between factory and Ryan's work. Too bad I didn't take any shots of the area prior to Ryan's touchup. I should explain "touchup": I had 3 chips all grouped together on the wheel well/bumber just above a headlight. Ryan sanded, then shot/feathered new paint & clear coat on, and a little above, the affected area. Ryan tells me that touch up work like that is his specialty.

Vince share wisdom? Nah, he probably thought I was too old and wouldn't get "it."
You must know something about Vince that I don't.

 

Vince has many tidbits and info about the LAW and other stuff... hes a wise one
