Want to know if anybody here has used the 3M clear front end bras on their cobalts (SS Trim) and if you have, where did you purchase them, how much did it cost, what would be the right price to pay for such a thing? I am thinking about getting something this this for winter around where I live to help protect the paint, but I want something that is clear or nearly invisible.

 

I've had it on my car for 3 years now, and it is the best thing since sliced bread. Bugs wash off easy, no rock chips (unless its a bigass rock), and no repainting!
I have it on the nose, front of the hood, fronts of all the fenders, rockers, A pillars, behind the rear tires, and on the trunk where you load stuff in, and where you pull down on the lid.
It cost somewhere around $400 for the front end (installed myself), and near $400 for the rest (installed by a shop). I bought it from a shop in the city close to me, but that isn't going to help you much.

Usually tint/vinyl shops are the ones getting into 3Ming cars, so keep your eyes peeled.

If you look close, you can just see some around the foglights that overlapped.

 

^^Thats wicked, you can barely see it...

 

Its very durable I have it on my trailblazer too!

 

Damn I wish the previous owner would of put that on when he first bought the car.

I deff plan on getting this when I re-paint the car to fix all the rock chips and scratches.

 

I have it on the front of mine too and it looks like Captain's; works really well. The previous owner put it on so I'm not sure of the cost it was for this vehicle but a shop in town will do it for $400ish.

 

What is made of and how does it install??? This is the first time I have heard of this.

Should make it for the whole car. I would buy if they had for the whole car. But that's amazing.

 

It's made of a heavy vinyl, approximately 5-8 mm thick (maybe more, depending on where you get it from) And it installs by water application; wet the car, stick the sticker on the car, slide it to where it needs to go, squeegee the water out. Let dry for 24 hours.
Usually has a life span of 5-8 years.

If you take it to a shop, they should be able to do the whole car. I was looking at getting it done, at a pretty penny though. Close to $3500 CDN for the whole Cobalt.
I'll be getting my CTS well covered as well once i get it too!
