3M Clear Bra Disaster (PICS)

hey guys,

Well I had a pretty unsuccessful thread last time when I asked about it. I finally got around to taking pictures of it. There are so many flaws on this. The guy better re-do it free. Here are just some of the flaws I found:
1. Piece of hair
2. 3 Air Bubbles that won't push out
4. Not cut properly in 3 spots
5. Edge has peeled

I didn't take pictures of it all. It's a crappy point and shoot but it shows something...

I don't think you can see it, it's just a blur but I circled it. It's about maybe 1.5cm long. Sorry for the crappy pics:


Air bubble1:


Airbubble2:


I didn't feel like getting the last one, it's a little smaller but you get the point.
The guy said he got it cut by a computer... don't know if he was lying or the computer made a mistake. But this sucks!

With a title like that I was expecting some horrific clearbra fail like bubbles all over.. stuff not sticking etc..

Those are minor flaws. Get em fixed, yes, but disaster? nah! :P

those are just some of the flaws. I may have emphasized just a teency little bit . But it does look worse in person even though theres no picture of the whole car...

I did the clear bra myself, cost me $100 for the computer cut material.
When I was done there was 1 hair like you have, and several small bubbles. I punctured the bubbles with a safety pin, a hair dryer to make them stick, and will live with the hair. There is also a few edges I needed to trim with an exacto knife, they which kind of look like what you have there.
All in all my clear bra isn't perfect, but it's 95%, and it protects the front of the car so, and I can always take it off. So I'm happy with it.
Maybe take the car back to the guy who did the job, and ask for a partial refund.
