Clear Bra in NJ!!

dwall · 02-04-2012, 03:24 PM

I found a guy in Saddle Brook, NJ. Does an amazing job. Is kind of pricy but absolutely worth it.

I got my complete hood, fenders, bumper, front lip and headlights done!

How much? Last time I asked a big name guy how much for JUST the bumper- $650. G..T..F..O. For that price I can get it repainted TWICE.

ClearBraNJ in long branch was around $800, for entire front end, full hood, mirrors, front fenders, lights and the rocker panels. Todd did a great job. i'll take the clear bra over someone repainting any part of my car...

ugh... I always hate clear bras... I don't know why people get them, especially on nice cars... They just discolor and if they don't, they don't let the paint underneath them fade at the same rate as the rest of the car so the paint still doesn't match... And then when you try to get it off, the paint underneath is damaged anyways so you'll have to get it repainted regardless... I'd rather just repaint the front bumper once every 5 years, save some money, and have it match the rest of the car...

id say much higher a chance of the respray not matching and way more invasive, than removing the Clear Bra which does not have any UV inhibitors in it. Besides if the car is garage kept the point it moot anyways.

all the leading edge surfaces of my car are perfect. i like the fact i can ride the turnpike and not sweat it. peace of mind. When i compare my E92 to my truck and my VW its night and day.

in VT they dont really put down just salt... they put down ROCKS, esp on dirt roads. between that, the GSP and Turnpike, i think the clearbra is a great choice.

I have my clearbra on my whole front end everything and its the best investment/mod i have ever done and it was worth every penny

$1400 for full hood, fenders, bumpers, lip, headlights, fog lights, side mirrors.
I saw the dings and scratches on the bumper and hood before it was there. I had to get my complete hood and bumper replaced due to some other reason. So decided to get the clear bra.

You can't even tell its there. He used Avery nanosecond.

I had a clear bra before this for 4 years. Never saw any discolor or any other problem.

During the bumper and hood replacement I had to get it removed. So that is why the new install.

You wore a bra for 4 years!?!?!?!?

hehehehe just joking!

I recently purchased and installed the clear bra on my car, it cost me a total of $270 (installed).

I purchased the clear bra kit from ebay - http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...ction+Film+Kit

Found a tint shop and paid to get it installed, looks great!

When did you have this done? I reached out to them and their pricing is almost 2x of what you quoted.
