I've had mine put on twice now. The first time they did it the cuts were uneven and the clear bra was marred with dirt underneath it so I had them take it off and re-do the whole thing. The second time they did it it was much cleaner. Both times the only part of the clear bra that was "rolled" was the hood. Everywhere else there is a gap before the edges.

Beware though. When they removed the clear bra the first time it pulled the paint off my bumper. They had to repaint the whole front bumper and wait about a week for the paint to cure before putting on the clear bra. Soft paint FTMFL!! Even though the clear bra has a lifetime warranty, do you think I'd ever want them to remove the clear bra and re-apply it? It would probably pull the paint again.

 

Wow, never heard that before. I also had my installer redo my clearbra for some parts as they didnt line up well but it sure didnt pull any paint off thank god..

 

how much would it be just for a front bumper? or lip? even both? just a simple estimate is wha im looking for.. thanks.

 

I can only tell you what I charge which is $450 for the front bumper. I use a pretty high grade film that costs more than some other films. But installers will charge what they want for this. 450 would be a good ballpark figure for you to start with.

for the G37? My local installer must be too cheap to spring for that cutting fee you mentioned - trying to pawn off some old G35 piece that doesn't offer anything like the coverage achieved by the proper piece.

 

It happens all to often. Find another installer or let me know and I wil get you a kit.

 

...as I'm owed some work and she does have good technique.If you're willing to sell me the rear bumper deck kit, why don't you PM me with your price. Thanks much.

 

Does the clear bra for the hood cover the whole hood or just the front portion? If it covers the front portion only, how noticeable is the edge of the tape?

Thanks in advance!

 

from entire hood (more costly) to 12-18 inches from tip of hood. Usually from a few feet away, you don't see it at all - closer you're going to see it - better to see it than chipped up paint on hood. Not at all offensive, IMO - but full coverage would solve your concerns (at least for the hood ).
