Clear Bra Installed *Pics*
I know there have been a lot of complaints about the chipping on our Camaro's so I figured I would post of some pictures of my solution. I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago but forgot about them.
I put a lot of miles on my vehicle so having the protection of a clear bra is a life saver. Its not for everyone "garage queens" but for those of us that put the miles on or just want to protect from chips when you do drive it then this is the way to go. After alot of research I was up in the air on VentureShield and Nano-Fusion. I decided to go with the Nano-Fusion because of all of the incredible reviews I read on the professional clear bra installer forums. It is a newer film and the stuff is amazing. The Nano-Fusion is a bit more than the VentureShield but not enough to really make a difference. I put the clear bra on the following Front Bumper Mirrors Gills Behind Rear Wheels A-Pillars, 12" of the roof line. My biggest recommendation is to get it done ASAP. Little to no prior chips will give the best results. Here are the pictures so that you can all get an idea of what it will look like. I couldn't be happier and the piece of mind when I am driving is worth every penny

Personal opinion.... I've seen them a few years after installation and I can see the line where it ends and starts. But, maybe it was not applied by a "good" shop. I'm still on the fence whether to deal with the chips or see the "line".

I got it installed at Redlands Clear Auto Bra
Quote:
The brand of the clear bra is called Nano-Fusion http://www.nano-fusion.net/ Quote:
I totally understand where you are coming from. Some of that is due to a bad install. They did not heat the ends properly to seal them. Sometimes its just normal wear and tear. The way I see it is if I have to replace the bra in 3 to 4 years is was still worth the money I saved on repainting my bumper and protecting my factory paint job. Plus I will have driven for 3 to 4 years and can remove the bra and have a perfectly spotless bumper

A-Pillars + 8" of Roof - $150
Front Portion of Hood, Fender, Mirror, Lower Bumper kit - $525 Behind Rear Wheels & Gills: $100 So in total it $775. You can choose not to do the pillars and roof to save some money but I know in past cars I have had rock chips there so I figured I would protect them now and not wish I did it after a huge rock takes a chump out of my roof This might help you picture what is covered in the "Kit"

Looks good! So, now how are you going to go about detailing it, etc. I just recently had the 3M put on mine and the first time I used Adams detail spray on it, it looked all smeary until I used a light coat of carnubua. I am thinking of getting some Adams Clear Polish. Did your installer have any recommendations?
