Help with Hood & Fender dimensions for CLEAR BRA

kenchan · 10-06-2009, 02:47 PM

that was one on a silver car and one on a dark blue. i did the install and was very careful about maximizing the adhesive strength so no, i did not have build up on the seams.

after waxing i took my soft MF towel (and with some QD) gently
ran it across the seam and remove the wax/polish. it was very
clean when i sold the cars.

Did you use a heat gun or blow dryer with your install? Was it pretty easy to install? I have seen videos and it looks pretty simple. I think the hardest part would be keeping trash out from underneath the film. Any tips for me?

no heat gun for me, but when i did the headlamp clearbra i used
a heat lamp to make the material very soft.

after install i let it bake under the heatlamp for a good 4-5hrs
since it was cold/wet outside.

install is cake, you need to be very patient. also there is some
pulling involved (stretching over bumpers) so that's where things
might feel kinda foreign to you if you've never done one before.

otherwise my tip of the day is to keep your fingers wet while
handling the adhesive side.

otherwise you will end up with
finger prints.

Does anybody else have some measurements to compare?
