Ok what are people paying for their clear bra's? I went to this guy today on LI who claims to be the only one on long island that does it and he quoted me 700 for the full kit!!! Also wanted 250 for tint!! All sounds a little high and he just smiled and said im the only one that can do it. Well I'll be damed if Im gonna pay 200 more than everyone else and 100 more for tint so what are people paying? I've heard around 500 for a full kit.
Re: Clear Bra Price?
Paid $490(installed) for the deluxe kit from www.invinca-shield.com. They currently have a 20% discount on the product which normally sells for $405 for the deluxe kit + whatever the installer charges unless you do it yourself. Well worth it. My installer also threw in the mirror kit for free.

I paid $850 for my clear bra (!). But before you laugh, here's what I got:
1) ENTIRE hood done (all the way up!)
2) Front end including lights and front half of fenders.
3) Backs of mirrors
4) edges of doors
5) front portion of rear wheel wells.
Material is 12 mills instead of 8 mills. Except on the lights - where it's 20 mills (!). Complete custom install. All edges are wrapped - (as opposed to just ending at the edge - like the pre-fab kits).
Was it worth it? To me, yes. =)

Damn see that I might pay but this guy wants 150 less for a common kit. What company did you get the cut of hte film from?
Registered User
www.clearbra.net - and that price includes installation which is NOT trivial (took them about 8 hours of work).

Chaster, do you know what kind of film they use? That is, what it is made out of? This was brought up in FreshAlloy, and another poster claimed that they used vinyl rather than a urethane based film.

Here's what I got quoted, straight from the installer's e-mail:
The installation charge for all of the kits is $86.60 including tax. The installation for one kit is $70.36 including tax. There are 3 kits for your vehicle. (1 kit) Hood, Fender, Mirror $281.39 including tax. (2 Kit) Bumper Kit $346.34 including tax (3 Kit) Headlight Kit $75.72 including tax.
Anyone know if these are reasonable prices?

Take a look at their web site and like was said earlier, there is a 20% discount now.

Re: Clear Bra Price?
Yeah, all my surfaces are 8 mils thick, but the headlights are 40 mils. A bit of irony with all the clear bra talk lately....Got home this afternoon and noticed a small spot on my hood. Seems something hit it without me knowing and it actually tore the material. I can't tell if it made it through to the paint, but it's now a noticeable spot on the bra, albeit better than a spot in the paint. I'm just surprised it happened so easy and I never knew anything hit it. I've had it less than a month and now am wondering really how susceptible the product is to tearing. Surely their warranty will cover this.

40 mils ?? That sounds awful thick. I thought the headlight material was 20. ...dean

I paid $780. This is what I had done:
Custom install with wrapped edges, not a kit. There are virtually no edges with the package I got done.
Complete front bumper
Complete Hood
Complete rear bumper
Front fender wings
Mirrors

Mcleo19, it's 3M brand - but a thicker grade than the pre-cut kits. It's definitely not vinyl. One note though - they don't do the grill (at least, the installer here in Oregon didn't). I get the impression that it's too much of a pain in the butt.

this may not be that big a problem for lighter color cars, but for darker, have you seen that where the film is attached to the car, there's a weird glare that you get when a plastic or clear covering sticks to some other surface? i saw an FX45 with the clear bra and around the areas with the bra, there's this weird distortion and glare...
