Re: SoCal tint and clear bra installers recommenda

For my clear bra install, I had Daniel Cook from Transparent Bra.com do it. He did a great job, so I would recommend him to you. You can try calling him at: 310.613.4671. He came by my house to do my install [I'm located in Torrance, so Long Beach is probably doable for him too]. You can use my name as a reference - Jonathan.

For my Huper Optik tinting, I used Song's Tintmasters who did a great install. They are located up in Los Angeles though, so not sure if you want to travel to them. You can contact them at 323.732.9100, and ask for Hann or Jay.

Ditto on the clear bra. Daniel did a great job on my car.

For tint I went to Pro Window Tinting
3928 E. Anaheim Street
Long Beach 90804
562-597-2401

I am very happy with their work.

The Tint Factory in Carson will do your tint at my cost. Call 310.516.TINT (8468) and tell George, the owner, that you are Randy's Friend and he'll hook you up.

Re: SoCal tint and clear bra installers recommendation

Just curious what this guy charged you all for the clear bra install? I was quoted today $375 (materials + install) for the bumper, hood and mirrors. Is that a good deal?

I am going to Auto Recon in Lake Forrest - i've heard a lot of good things about this shop.

I forgot the price but TransparentBra.com/Daniel Cook will come to you and install it. He lives in HB, good guy.

Re: SoCal tint and clear bra installers recommendation

Your right 375 is for one kit, either the bumper or hood but not both as your post suggested.

Re: SoCal tint and clear bra installers recommendation

$700 to protect the front is a little pricey, I can get my bumper painted 5 times for that price.

That is what I am thinking as well. Problem is rock chips will not only affect the bumper but also the hood so I dont think I could the front of the car painted that many times. Atleast not a quality paint job. Also you will have to live with looking at the rock chips until you get it painted.
