Clearbra in houston or dallas area?
 
If anyone in the houston or dallas area has done their clearbra, can you please advise on a good shop? If so what brand did you go with as far clear bra (3M, Xpel, Ventureshield, etc.) and a pricing? What areas did you cover (mid hood, full hood, wrap-around, headlights, etc)?

Thanks in advance.

In houston Executive tint, (xmhouston.com) for the CLEARbra 3M brand or Xpel has a locator on their website with either factory trained installers or non factory trained installers. I had already had installed before I saw their website because I went in for tint not for the bra. So I got mine at xm. I got take it back to get it reapplied. I know the bra can go on flawless on a porshe cause Ive seen it. It may take a coulple of times on ours due to the the way its shaped. It was not the product. Xm has lifetime and you can take it back every six months if you want. At least that thats what they told me. Im not sure about what the expel dealer offers. It was 500.

It should go on right the first time. The guys you are dealing with dont know what they are doing... most tint guys are not good clearbra installers. And I promise you they wil not let you ring it back every 6 months. :ugh2:

Tell me about it, HTP. I got the car back they did replace the hood sheet perfectly but they didn't want to redo the mirrors. You really have to look for the imperfections on the mirrors to see them but I know they exist. Im gona go somewhere else and have the mirrors redone. What do you suggest. The hood, bumber and fenders are perfect, though. I wonder if I should use Xpel brand on the mirrors.

Mirrors are much more difficult to do because of the amount of stretching involved. But there is one thing I want to poin out to you without seeing photos of the imperfections you are talking about... this is paint protection film not paint beautification film. It is designed to protect the paint not make it look better. Its also not a science when apllying this stuff and I can promise you there is not a car out there with film on it thats perfect. But even with little claws in it you will still be protecting the paint on your car. I would really need to see some photos fo what you are talking about to know whats going on.

As far as Xpel goes, I wouldnt recommend their film at all. But thats just my opinion.
