I see that you can buy a full 3M clear bra kit on ebay for under $200. Given that I struggle to apply a stick-on screen protector to my Palm Pilot without bubbles I was wondering whether anyone has tried this?

 

i installed it myself two years ago. it wasn't too hard. the bumper pieces were more difficult. the hood and fenders were super easy. i recommend using a diluted baby shampoo solution instead of the alcohol solution that 3m recommends in their instructions. if you can find a professional installer that will do if for $200 or less (not including the clearbra kit), i would go with installer. although i was able to do it myself, it took all day.

 

The DIY kits are comprised of more pieces to make installation easier. More pieces = more seams = not as invisible. Plus, junk can build up on those seams and make it stand out more.

If you go to professional kit websites like www.xpel.com, you will see that the bumper is 1 piece and it is very difficult to install. Since the clearbra will last 3-5 years, I would spend the extra money and get it professionally installed.
