Yikes! For $1350, I wonder how many times you could have taken those two vehicles to body shops for touch-up...

Price that one out and you will see that it wouldn't be that many times and they will continue to be protected for many years to come. It also make a good resale option. My Camaro will look perfect on day 1 and day 1000.

This is the 2010 Camaro for pete's sake. No one at a shop will have ever seen one. They should just be honored to be the first to work on one and give it to us for FREE!

I wonder if i just did the front bumper, if it will be noticble at all, since there would be no edge at all.
Can rock still get through it?

Called the company that did my other cars and estimated around $750 for a Camaro because of the multiple angles and cuts.

I don't want any lines to show if I put a clear bra on. I'm thinking about putting it only on the fascia and stop on the lines where it meets the hood and the fenders. That way there won't be any lines showing as it stops at those edges. I know that won't protect the top front of the hood but it will protect that front edge that the mail slot is in. Just thinking outloud.

Front up close, yea u see a little but its flawless


like others have said u just gotta watch when u wax. and remember u get what u pay for. some clear bras leave u with a bad orange peel reflection while others leave u with a almost perfect reflection(pic i posted)
Can you or did you wax the car before putting on the Clear Bra ? I got the Zaino package and wanna make sure I don't have 2 different finishes. Thanks !

I asked myself the same question and concluded that there is no reason not to clean/clay and Zaino before installing the clear-bra. The finish will look better and more consistent and will have a layer of protection under the film if you ever want to remove it. I will have my stripes painted, clay/Zaino and clear-bra after the finish of the entire car is where it should be. I will also Zaino the interior right out of the gate to get the UV protection on all of the interior surfaces. Then is should just be normal maintenance from that point forward.

i can see the line easy on that beamer, from a decent distance too. u think being 2009, clear coating could protect better and be a little stronger to reduce chips.

You would think. But there is the group. Called the Environmental Protection Agency that has prevented the use of hardeners and chemicals used in the painting process. They are alsopushing water based paints now. So it's only going to get worse.
