DIY: Southern California Clear Bra Installer
Preface: I have no affiliation with Aero Tect and this is the first time I have contracted their services. I explained to them that I would be photographing the process, and there are more photographs, but for the sake of brevity I chose ones that convey the results.
Our 370Z just completed its clear bra installation through Aero Tect. Areas covered include:
I was searching for an installer who had a shop as I prefer that versus doing in my garage or theirs—Aero Tect fit my criterion well with a dedicated bay, and the added bonus of all the equipment to cut needed the patterns in-house, plus design, and cut if necessary. Since I wanted a bit more protection and in reviewing the car with Francisco Castillo (the shop owner), along with Jason, and Adi, they derived, designed, and made the first available (that I know of) Rear Wheel Impact Area kit for the large flanks on the wheel wheels opening just behind the doors! They are also designing a kit for the Nissan factory splashguards, both front and rear to help prevent the areas of impact from getting damaged from flying tire debris. Custom! My wife and and I could not be more satisfied with the results. In fact I was so pleased (I was there during the installation that I asked them to custom cut one of their logos that we placed on the rear windshield. It is always great when matters go well as I always hesitate (read worry) when having to have work done to any of our vehicles. I will be adding more photograph(s) shading the exact ares where the clear bra was applied (as I have in the rear impact area). I recommend Aero Tect with no reservations as they are enthiuasts like us! Aero Tect 1935 Mckinley Ave Ste F La Verne CA 91750-5840 Toll Free: (866) 388-2376 P.S. Watermarking the photographs with the Aero Tect logo was my idea (as I like to give credit to people for their work) and permission was granted for use on said photographs from Aero Tect. |

We use Venture Ultra 7510CC Clear Coated 8.5 mil film. We do carry the 7514CC as well, but use that mostly for other applications. Most abuse a car can suffer can be handled by the 7510. I have taken my truck off roading several times, and still have a perfect front buper using the 7510. |

I see that the 370z is on a ramp when the front is install.
Did the installer use the Rhino Ramp? Canadian Tire Did they use 2 x 4 to clear the front? Thanks |

We actualy use Race Ramps. Not sure the website, but a quick google search should find them easy enough. We did not need to use any sort of extension to get the Z up on the ramps...
I guess Jim found it for me, lol. |
