3M Clear Bra on a 40th
 

How do you guys feel about the clear bra on your 40th? is it noticeable? can it be removed easily? I am worried about color discoloration. any insight is greatly appreciated.

Venture Shield ... looks great. It can be peeled off (even after years) without any damage to the paint. Perfectly clear.

thanks. i was able to look up info on it. it seems like a good solution.

how much does it cost to install on a Z. i am thinking the bumper, mirrors, hood, and half side panels.

I will probably be putting clear bra on my car next weekend after I get her back from the body shop. I'll let you know how I like it.

I have my front bumper, half hood, half fender and mirrors....I usually have to tell people its there...only notice on certain angles...just where it ends....no colour difference.

Don't forget the lights. Main thing is to find a good installer that backs up their work.

i think the kit for the whole front end might be a little pricy but if you check out 3M they will sell it in sections its cheaper an you won't have to buy sections you won't really use

No problem with my clear bra, other than you can't buff out scrape marks...but I'd rather have that and replace the bra than have rock chips.

And, don't bother with the headlights...impact resistant plastic does not require clear bra. Way easier to clean without it.

Really depends on where you drive. I have seen some nasty rocks shatter impact resistant plastic here on I95. Not sure what the cost of replacing our lights is, but the extra layer of protection doesn't hurt.

Thanks everyone for the excellent feedback.

I called around and it seems like installers in the DC/Baltimore area are charging the same for the kit ($695). Covers bumper, half hood and fenders, and mirrors and headlights. 3M's Venture Shield is backed by a lifetime limited warranty.

The price is comparable to what I paid ($600). Let us know how it turns out.

Had my VentureShield installed over the weekend. Paid $650 in St. Louis for bumper, 24" hood w/ wrapped edges, partial fenders, mirrors, headlights and a portion of the rear door sills right behind the doors.

I am happy with the film quality as it almost matches the factory paint orange peel, but was a little disappointed with the coverage in some places like the fang area and mirrors.

All in all, I feel much more comfortable on highways now!
