Where is the best place to get clear bra? I need a place with good warranty and good price. Please let me know?

 

Contact Star Shield Armor in Irwindale. They supply their kits to manufacturers like Lexus and Lotus, and their kit for the Z is excellent. I've had their kits on almost a dozen cars over the past several years, and I've been very satisfiend. I believe that they still do installations at their factory.

 

Just called them, $524.00! Ouch, seems kinda steep for the kit. I thought they were about $300.00?

 

you can get them for under $200 from ebay (yes, 3M full kit).. then find someone to install it, approx $100.. not bad eh?

 

Problem with that is warranty. If a shop installs and provides the kit, they can warranty the kit and the labor.

 

What portions are you looking to get done? I know for my sister's G35C, just the front bumper was done and it was either $300 or $350. It also included a lifetime warranty I believe (or maybe it was 7 years?). I think the material used with VentureShield or Venture Tape. Anyways, the guy that did it was located around Placentia, CA.

I'm going to be getting my front bumper covered in about a month after the paint on my front bumper cures. I'll be getting my front bumper and ings lip done. If you're interested, I can verify all that info tonight once I get home (price, material, warranty, etc.)

 

Actually, if anybody else is interested, maybe I can ask him to setup a GB?

 

BhashaZ, I'll be getting the front bumper and headlights done as well. Keep us, or me, updated on the info. Thanks!

 

No problem. I hope the guy who did it is still around!

 

Envisage in Torrance, they've done a few My350Z forum members. They charged $250 - $275 for the 3M film when I did my stock bumper.

Getting mine installed today on the new bumper.

What kind of warranty do they offer? I'm sure the quality of thier work is excellent since everybody suggests them, but I'm just worried about yellowing. From what I read, although 3M is reputable company, it starts starts to yellow over the years. However, I read this about a year ago and I'm not sure if that still applies now.

 

They're using the new version of the 3m film released last year, it's supposed to be resistant to yellowing as experienced in the previous versions.
I believe the warranty is 5 years, will re-confirm when I see them later today.

 

Cool, yeah I thought I read about the yellowing on the 3M, just wanted to make sure. If their new film resists yellowing, then maybe I'll just go to them. Either way, let's try to get a GB

 

Damn, u might wanna wait and not drive much in that month amit, cuz it would bbe a shame to get rocks chips before the clear bra goes on..

Hey, well Im interested in the Group Buy however this is for my girlfriends car which is a 2005 EX 4DR ACCORD so please find out a price for that car. I want the Package B which is hood, front bumper, grill and mirrors. Let me know.

 

Don't worry, I got it all figured out! I have 2 OEM front bumpers, so the new one that just got painted (with the ings lip attached) is going to sit at my home and cure for about a month. I'll drive around with the "old" front bumper and not have to worry about rock chips, etc. Sure, it'll look funny to have to rest of the kit without the front lip, but at least my paint should be good! Once a month passes by, I'll take my bumper in my van and get the clear bra put on, then come home and swap bumpers and finally sit back and enjoy!

 

Okay I'll see what both places can do!

 

They normally have different levels of protection available for different prices. Some include the rear view mirrors, leading edge of the roof, A-pillars, door edges, rear bumper cover near trunk/hatch opening, etc. Basic kits that cover the hood and front bumper cover only should be correspondingly less.

Also, kits from some companies require more labor to install correctly, but offer better protection and longevity with fewer seams, gaps or splits. Installation is key with this material because it can strech and distort if not handled properly.

With so many options, it can be difficult to make an apples-to-apples comparison.

 

Good call. the way i would go if i did a clearbra at least..

 

Okay, so who will be interested in this? I'll start a list and call around to see where we can get a good deal. Add yourself onto the list, and include if you have a lip/aftermarket bumper, or a different car:

1. BhashaZ - 350Z w/ ings lip
2.
3.
4.
