Covered trunk lid and rear bumper in clear film/bra

Premier Mobile Group did a great job wrapping the trunk lid and bumper. The top shelf of the bumper turned out perfectly with out any noticeable seams in the area where the horizontal shelf part meets the vertical area under the tail light.

I've attached some in-progress photos and I'll be posting some "after" photos soon. As usual, excellent work from these guys!

haha... I'm glad you asked. I had the front done years ago when they didn't even have a shop yet. They came out to my house and did it:

I have some video of the install also, I'm in the process of uploading it.

Your co-worker probably had the first generation clear bra that didn't have a clearcoat; that kind weathered very quickly. I had mine replaced and it's been perfect since then - nice & glossy.

As for removing the clear bra, your co-worker should've let the pros do it. I had mine removed for the warranty work and it was removed without any issues.

I've had my G35 for almost a year now and am planning on getting a clear bra on just my front bumper. My question is after it's installed and when I go to wax/detail my car, will the rest of the car be shinnier/glossier than the front bumper (where the clear bar is installed)?!

If so, wouldn't that look a bit -- off?

Thnx in advance.
