I don't think you would have a problem catching me Ian, not with your Z .

Off Topic: Today it is going to go up to +2 and the snow has cleared from my driveway, so I am going to give my G a nice Zaino Bubble bath (Z7) .

Lucky girl, to have you all over her, rubbing, caressing every nook and cranny, OOPS, I forgot you already went through all of this last week.
BTW, I used the ONR on the G yesterday before the bra went on and it worked quite well.
Have a great day Wayne, and remember don't smoke fish before you wash the G unless you want a Whale of a time. ( Yeah, Yeah, I know a whale isn't a fish, but flounder didn't work for me.)

Does anyone know a clear bra installer around the Whitby/ Pickering area?

More importantly, maybe Ian can chim in on this one =), I understand that many 3M clear bra installer uses computer pre-cutted clear bra template. My question is: what about for the NISMO 03-04 bumper? since it has different contour and dimension than the stock bumper

Ian will chime in on this, but I know he did have the clear-bra on his 04 Nismo bumper

BTW Kevin, the door looks level. It's the ramp that's lopsided. So sorry your locked in. Will the ins. pay for lost wages on the two jobs you had scheduled today?
i can't see anything from the pics, so the bra must be working good! :P

how long did you wait after the paint job before you installed the clear bra?

I waited 64 days, and yes I counted em. The body shop said the paint mgf. suggests 30 days. Marco said he likes to wait about 90 days. I already had a few chips so 64 seemed good to me. Having said that, the body shop put the rear protectors on one day after they painted. Said they didn't want the chips on the rear quaters. Go figure.

FWIW, Trova Fortuna aka Marco has film and will travel. You may want to shoot him a pm and see what he can do for you. I find it's always good to know what a job will cost so I can compare. He's a good guy and does work in the GTA.

When I looked at Sam's paint right after the re-spray there was almost no solvent popping, so odds are 60 days was more than enough.

Thanks alot guys, I am just afraid that for mobile installation, it will be hard for custom bumpers since they no longer can use the computer pre-cut schematics

Anyhow, I used Mark @ Barrie last time... but just that now I took my old bumper off and need new clear bra for my NISMO bumper =)

Thanks again everyone

I just uploaded my pics from Sam's install...so here's a couple more.

I think it's time to upgrade my digital camera again, as this one is a few years old now, and out of 8 pics, I have only 2 that aren't blurry! So, anyone who has indepth knowledge of cameras, let me know what I should be looking for.

TIA

Marco
