front bumper dilemma

Volk Z

As for your clear bra go with Ventureshield. I had it on my 350z for 4 years and it looked brand new up until the day i sold it! It is the most clear and strong stuff out there. I actually just had my wifes 2012 Sonata in black done and had the whole front end done with Ventureshield and you can not tell it is on there...

As for the care of clear bra you can wash, clay bar and wax (non abrasive wax) just like your paint. The only thing you CAN NOT do is buff it. You may use Plexus to "polish" it if necessary.

If you get it re-painted you should technically wait 30 days at least for the paint to cure and then have the clear bra installed. Personally if its not your daily driver i would let the car sit and not drive it or put blue painters tape on for the 30 day period so no rock chips occur.

Good luck! let us know how it goes

Yeah tell me about it. Having to catch rides from people sucks. Especially when you making payments on the car. I think if i have another problem with the bumper I'll just take it to Nissan see what the recommend. So far car is sitting prety in my garage while it drys.

Clear bra will come next if paint properly cures

If the shop is decent you should have no paint problems. And it should effectively "cure" after 30 days.. its good to wait so if you need the clear bra to come off you can do it without taking the paint with it. You could always just take the bumper off and rock no front!! HAHA

make sure to go with ventureshield clear bra and make sure the installer is good.

Good luck,
