Clear Bra through the dealership - price right?

Just picked up my car a few days ago. Passed on the teflon coating nonsense but apparently my dealership ( hoen infiniti) offers a clear bra installation for $595 with lifetime warranty. The lady said that the brand is autobaun ? Anyways just wanted know how much others paid for this. This is the full kit including the headlights and side mirrors. If its anything relatively close then id probably go for it since i can just deal with my dealership thats not going anywhere rather than a small tint shop that could change ownership or outright close down in a few years... what do you guys think?

Confirmed. Good price. Just don't take the car home until you are completely, absofreakinloutely satisfied with the quality of the installation. There are a few people around here who can attest to this

Make sure it's not those pre-cut Clear bra coz those thing will not wrap all the edges.

That's a reasonable price. Make sure to inspect it after they install it and double check it for air bubbles in a week or two.

Good price, but as already mentioned, double check it. My dealer offered the same price, but it stopped 1/4" from all the edges and really looked like $hit so I passed.

Not a bad price. I got the dupont teflon coating for $695 which coats the entire car. Well worth it!

FYI, their cost on that bra is $325, so there is room in their price.
I would reply to them that you might be interested if their price was a little better.
The BEST time to haggle over the bra is when they say "this is our best deal", and you say, throw in a clear bra and I'll take it.
You may not get it free, but giving it to you at cost is worth it to them to get the sale.

Good luck!

I got mine done for $399 at a 3M Certified Clear Bra shop locally on a winter special. It covered the full front bumper, 18" of the hood, fenders and the mirrors! They rolled it under the lip of the hood too!

He uses a unique 3M material that does not change color or fade due to weather changes. It covers the front bumper, headlights, about 20" of the hood, fenders, under the doorhandles, and where the trunk lid meets the rear bumper. Awesome work, and if you see any bubbling he'll take the piece off and redo it free of charge.
