Clear Bra Review:

I arrived at Savage Auto Sports (savageautosports.com) at 9:10AM for a 9:00AM appt. It was about an hour drive from Brooklyn. Upon arriving I was greeted and my car was taken immediately to begin work...off to a great start.

Savage has a nice waiting room stocked with tons of car magazines, a TV (though you can't hear it over whatever local radio station is playing) along with free instant coffee (awesome).

I had been told to allow a few hours for the install so I was mentally prepared for 2 to 3 hours at most to wait. The unfortunate part of the experience was I ended up waiting till nearly 2:00PM, which is closer to 5 hours. Not a big deal, but you know how it was when you're mentally prepared for one thing and receive another.

Savage did a great job w/the install, despite a few minor scratches and imperfections in the application of the clear bra. I took pictures after driving home, I just haven't transfered them from my phone yet.

Overall I rate the experience a 8 of 10 (would have been 10 of 10 if done in 2 hours) and the application a 7 of 10 (I know it's very difficult to apply the clear bra). I would goto Savage again in the future for tinting or additional clear. Also, would like to shout-out Andrew, a knowledge G owner that was a pleasure to chat with. I also bought some LED's while I was in the store.

Things I feel could have been done better:
1) Let the client know clearly how long the operation will take. That can help aid people being restless. If it's going to take 5 hours, let the client know up front 5-6 hours.
2) Offer lunch - While I was waiting (no car, would have to walk), they did a McD's run, but didn't ask me if I wanted anything. I didn't even notice until them came back w/food. Would have
been great to ask, I as was running on two cups of coffee all day ....
3) Lower the in-store radio, heh.

Minor scratch where the hood/bumper meet there is a little recess:

A perfect section:
