Clear Bra Pics with defects

Ok, got the clear bra installed. Most of it looks really good, however the nose has some defects. I'll be calling the installer tomorrow to arrange for him to come and replace the front clear bra.

The hood also has a small piece of lint underneith the cover, and a good size hair, I'm willing to overlook those, however, the nose is unacceptable to me.

clear bra sucks, looking at these pics reminds me that I should go peel it off the 335ic. Having the front bumper/mirrors/hood repainted when needed seems like a better idea after having clear bra installed.

I cleared bra my S2000 and my S2000 is white so like all the clear bra blemishes show. I'm glad I got ventura though cause its lifetime warranty and once my bra turns yellow i'm taking it in asap for a new one. My clear bra after only 9 months look like crap.

I'd rather have the clearbra dinged up than the paint anyday. The CB is easily replacable if it started to look ugly. Repainting parts requires a good bit more work/hassle/cost.

No, never got a chance to have the front replaced... not really a big deal.

Depending on how many clear bra installers you have in your area, it can cost anywhere from 400-700. I paid 600, but the guy drove out to my house from over 120 miles away.

I'm on the fence wheather I'm going to remove the clear bra on my hood and fender area. My hood clear bra covers the front portion of the hood and I don't have any visible nicks on the film. However, the front film has taken a few hits, but this is expected.
