Still strugling with Clear Bra!

I was in the same situation as you....wanted a clear bra but didn't want to pay upwards of $1000 to buy and install.

So.....I bought a pre-cut clear bra kit for $3xx and installed it myself. Turned out to be really nice fit and finish. I have no experience with clear bras or window tint installation and mine turned out great. I did have a buddy with me to help as two people make it easier, but we were both inexperienced. I did have to buy a squeegee, baby shampoo, and rubbing alcohol. <$10

9,000 miles later and no chips anywhere. (knock on wood)

I paid to have mine done. I would not go to someone's home to do it. A professional shop can measure and laser cut the bra by machines. If you go to someone's home, he would put the bra on your car first then use a razor to cut it. Chances are he will leave a cut mark on your paint too and the bra edges are not straight.

Also if you do it at the guy's home, there is no warranty with the bra. if something is wrong with the bra, you come back and look for him, how do you know he still lives there two months from now?

Dont bother to do it yourself. you will see bubbles sooner or later. and bubbles will work like magnifying glass under the hot sun. It will smoke your paint to charcoals.
