Angry Use Caution - This will damage your vehicle

Whatever you guys do, don't go to Top Notch Image in Dallas. I love my Clear Bra, but this bumbling fool who installed it did about $2500 worth of damage to my headlights and paint and of course he won't admit it. Luckily I have a good attorney, and I took pictures of every square inch of my car before the guy took it. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

How did he damage the car? Even if screwed up, clear bra can be peeled off without harming the paint. Need more info...

He nicked my headlights with a razor blade, and cut into my paint.

i'm no expert, but when INSTALLING a clear bra he should only need a rubber squeegie... to roll out any possible bubbles... similar to a credit card but much less abrasive...

WTF was he trying to do with a razor blade???

and he should also already know that us Z car owners, well most of us, are very particular about our cars, and that we usually know nearly every nick and scratch we have like it was the back of our hands...

Good luck with the whole deal... post pics though... somone has to REALLY be careless to mess up a headlight installing a bra...

sounds like the installer was trying to cut the film on the car because it wasn't a custom kit made for his car...or it was just a really bad kit, but I dont see how he did that much damage if he only knicked the paint and light...
