Recommendations For 3M Clear Bra Install MoCo?

40thThree7D · 11-21-2010, 01:28 PM

Just traded the Jeep SRT8 in on a 40th and really want to clear bra before 270 trips

...anyone have any experience with shops in the MoCo area? I used Winners last time and wasn't very impressed with the tintwork. Thanks!!

I got my tint done up in westminster (pretty far drive for you) by: Baltimore Tint LLC Window Tinting Auto, Residential, Commercial Tint in MD, Maryland.
very happy with the work.

My buddy just got his nismo bra put on at D&L tinting in white marsh and was happy with it. Once again, a long drive for you, but thats the best i got!

AAM isn't far from you, but im not sure they do that kinda thing

D&L Professional Window Tinting - Welcome - - is where I had mine done along with window tint. It came out pretty good I'd say.

Thanks for the info guys...I actually found a GREAT place in Columbia called Auto Armour the installer is cliff@parabolica-autosport.com. He's a really good guy and took the time to show me the software and material they use (even did a test sample on the car). I saw examples of his work on some very high end cars!! (iex Porsche gt)

I'll post pictures when its complete tomorrow! Also, I plan on going to the sat am coffee meet...so you can see his work in person

here's a quick link to his work --> http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=324938

Sorry I didn't post up pics after the install, but I did the nose, hood to the top of the headlights, headlights, mirrors and half the side skirts all the way up to it meets the rear 1/4. I paid $650.

I'll try to get pictures up soon.

I don't even have a Nissan but just had to register so I can reply to this post. DO NOT go to Winners in Rockville, MD. They used to do a good job in the past but craftmanship has been going downhill lately. Probably because owner is rarely there and he's got unskilled employees doing the work. Took my brand new benz for clear bra and my paint got nicked. I wanted the area above the rear wheels done so they couldn't use precut film and had to custom cut it (that's where paint got nicked). You can see the crappy jagged cutting done above the wheel and its starting to come undone along the edges with black dirt stuck underneath (my car is white). Also got my front windshield tinted. Cut is all crooked along the top edge.

Just a warning! Go only if you want a shoddy job or want to get it redone again elsewhere.
