hes trying to get his post count up

 

Hi!

 

Thats a risk you gotta take, but if you just got painted, I would cover the bumper with plastic. So what you look crazy driving down the highway with a covered bumper. I would do it!

To save a couple hundred dollars.... well a bit over a hundred dollars (cus of gas) to drive down there and get llumar over 3M, I would. I like llumars product much more.

specs may have changed though. check the thickness of each film. Lastly, I hope 3M isnt still yellowing over time. They may have fixed that.

 

yes, clear bra looks nasty on white/silver...well at least the clear bra's i have seen do!! on white the car looks almost yellowish, like someone with butter teeth, and on silver, makes my car look like desert platinum!! it doesnt look bad on other colors like red/black/blue etc...just on white/silver i think it looks nasty!!

 

the llumar wont yellow at all.

 

As discussed in previous threads, I spent considerable time "interviewing" and visiting shops in the MD/DC/VA area. I finally settled on PROFORM in Ellicott City. 1-866-PRO-3682. Rob charged us $1095 and it was worth every penny of it! I would be reluctant to shop price as the principle criterion. That said, I don't know these folks nor do I know anything about their experience/track record.

 

For 1095 buck i can get about 3 repaints ,new front bumper,whole new body kit.All you realy need is the front bumper and maybe mirrors. It just seems like a rip to me.

 

1095 is a rip.

 

Thanks for your input, I'll give it the weight it deserves.

I could have got the $400 Clear Bra right here in Rockville. Or I could have skipped the Clear Bra and periodically re-painted. That said, my wife only has 1700 miles on her car and it would either need a re-paint already or we would just have to accept numerous paint dings.

I was not arguing the case for or against a Clear Bra - just suggesting that price is not the entire equation. I made it clear that I knew nothing about the work of your friend.

Our experience was detailed here:

Do you have any knowledge... of the experience level and track record of your friend(s)? Just curious, because you presumably have some basis for comparing the value of a $1095 Install vs an $800 install, without having seen at least one of them.

 

I will delete my original response because you dont even deserve a response. And no one know's who the **** you are anyways.

 

here we go again...

 

Your parents must be proud.

I hate it when children try to fit in with adults.

 

I know of a guy in Maryland who does group discounts. His name is Rob and his website is www.proformauto.com. He specializes in Clear Bra and is a 3M certified teacher for clear bra installation. I can call for you guys or you can tell him i gave you his name. Im pretty sure if you have enough guys, he will beat that price. He also has the best warrantee out there.

i spoke to customclear again and the 800 dollar price is no good... 800 is if you guys can get like 10 G's together and it's normally 850 for a G. sorry for the misunderstanding. i asked mbq to edit his original post a few days ago, but he apparently is too lazy... but it doesn't seem like anyone's interested anyway.

 

Rob is the man! He did my wife's car in June and contact info is found in the link I posted above.
