Question To Clear Bra or not to Clear Bra my 2011 Camaro SS

I am taking my Baby in for a Clear Bra and Window Tinting Friday as long as weather permits..

Do these cars look good with the bra?? what about waxing??

Just some concerns with the bra I just want it to look really good!!

Thanks as always,
Larry.

On my 11 i just had behind the front and rear wheels done this weekend. Looks pretty good. Still debating about the front bumper. I dont tailgate and keep my distance, seems to be working at this point in time. If you want have them do the wheels and judge from there. It is alot better than putting mudflaps on.

IMO it's a worthwhile investment. I did full bumper, 1/4 frt fenders, 1/4 hood, rockers, gills, and mirrors. I also put on 1/4 flares (mud guards).

I've got $750 worth of Clear Bra on my Camaro- the front bumper, on a quarter of the way up the hood, on the mirrors, the rocker pannels, the gills, about 2 inches behind the windshield, and on the A-Pillars. 5,000 miles and not one rock chip. Best money I've spent on the car, period!

Larry,
I see that you're in Colorado, like me. I would do it since the gravel is so bad here.

We just had ours done with VentureShield and it's surprisingly invisible. We had the front bumper, fender tips, mirrors, door handle areas, forward rear quarter panels, rear quarter panels and headlamps done. Everything is 8mil thick, except the headlamps which are 30mil.

According to the instructions, you wax it like the rest of the car.

We also had the windows tinted and that turned out very nice too.

Good luck

I wish I had. I was going to but didn't get around to it. Now many chips later I regret my decision.
