Find the LLUMAR clear bra contest!

Had my new G35 Coupe 6MT diamond graphite done with the LLUMAR clear bra. Try and find it. Yes there is a line if you are looking at it in a certain direction. Cost $500 for the entire front end - including grill! Pieces cut at LLUMAR factory specifically for G35 Coupe. I am impressed! Will it hold up? Only the Shadow knows! There is a LIFTIME guarantee against yellowing, cracking, peeling, etc. Can be removed. LLUMAR is from CPFilms which is a subsidiary of Solutia (which was Monsanto Chemical - name changed in 1997 - not exactly a fly-by-night company). CPFilms is the world's largest manufacturer of applied films - that's all they do. Most people go with 3M which obviously is a company everyone has heard of (has only 5 year guarantee - I wonder why?). Just because 3M makes Scotch tape does not necessarily imply that they make the best film. My installer previously used 3M and switched to LLUMAR. He said "3M had an orange peel feel" and was much more difficult to work with than LLUMAR. He also said that the LLUMAR is clearer than the 3M which makes a big difference on white cars. The hood is covered to about where the headlights stop. By the way, my G35 came from the factory with film just before the rear wheels at the end of the rocker panels - much more noticeable than the LLUMAR. I am not a risk taker - I do not feel that this will prove to be a mistake.
These picture were takes AFTER the clear bra was installed.

Well, the clearbra owners can pretty easily pick up the lines.

I'm not a clear bra owner, but I picked it out right away. I heard on black its pretty bad too, that's the reason I don't have one installed yet.

LLUMAR makes great products. You should not have a any problems with discoloration. I have seen some 3m bras and they do yellow over time. My friend had a 3m bra on his silver M3 and it looked really bad after a year. His vehicle did sit outside every day... in the florida sun which may have been the reason it did not last long.
