DOes anyone have a 3M clear bra on their car? I want to get one on my hood/front bumper when i repaint the front end for stone chips. If you do, roughly how much did it run you?

 

i can't imagine how horrible that looks

 

its virtually invisible and I bet its quite expensive.

 

gues you dont know what it is.. you cant see it...at all. its soo thing

 

It's nearly invisible, and it looks a lot less horrible than the white speckled from end of my car from my 70 miles per day of expressway commute.

 

QFT!

Couple of my coworkers have it on their suv's, no idea on cost but you can't tell it is on there from 5 feet away. Got to be cheaper than respraying the front every other year

 

I just found out I'm looking at around 500+ dollars...blah.

 

I have it on my car.



See it? That's what I thought.

 

i saw it on a corvette once you have to be like 6 inches away to really see it

 

how much did you pay for it?

 

Sorry forgot to mention that. I'm the second owner, and I think the guy had the dealer put it on when he bought it so I'm not sure... but I think it was $400ish.

 

ok, about what I'm figuring...too much right now, once the repaint is figured in. I have a poll up for what I'm going to do if you guys care to contribute...

I have it on my car as well. I have the nose (front fascia, front of hood, front of fenders) the fronts of all four fenders, the rocker panels, the A-pillers, the mirrors, behind the rear wheels, and on the trunk (where i grab to open and close). Oh yea, also in between the spokes on my stock rims where i painted as well.
All in all, i believe it cost $800. And the best part is, you can't even tell its there!

 

^^^^ You have the same taillights as me!!!!!!!!!!! damn, where can I get this done in Hawaii?

 

i have it on my black ss/sc as well. you cant tell its there. i have it on the hood, front bumper and front fenders. its looks awesome bc i dont have a single rock chip!

 

how long till it fades. 800...are you serious? what a waste

 

I don't think it fades at all we have it on my wifes Trailblazer SS for 2 years now and it looks like the day it was put on.

 

i dont see how thats a waste of money its gonna cost me that much to get my hood and fenders resprayed and he has every part of his car done that could get hit w/ rocks well worth it IMO

 

LOL this is the most hilarious post i've seen in a long time!!

Ok, you get the front bumper/fascia, rockers, mirrors, A-pillers repainted and tell me how much it costs you!! Then we'll see who's laughing!!

Btw, life span is apx 8-15 years.

 

We had it on our Impala for over 70,000 miles and 5 years. I wish I had it put on my G5 when it was new.

Fading? How would you quantify fading on something that is entirely transparent and colorless?

The only thing you have to remember is to keep your clay bar and other polishes/rubbing compounds off of it. Otherwise you'll get swirl marks in it.

 

Im making dam sure i get this put on on my next new car. I hate having scratches all over from highway driving.

 

Fading probably wasn't the right word... I believe he was going more for discoloration such as yellowing.

 

That makes sense.

I never noticed any yellowing or any other sort of discoloration. When I crashed the car, the clear bra still looked as good as it did when I bought it!

 

how does it clean up?

 

you just wash it like anything else. if you get swirls just wax it. I got mine for 230 including install
