Bra/nose cover for NISMO model?

I was figuring a black leather nose mask wouldn't look bad on the magnetic black paint. Last I looked into clearbra coating it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $3k

Last I looked into clearbra coating it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $3k for front spoiler/front fenders if I remember right. That seems a bit excessive.

That's way too steep imo....My friend just had his E90 M3 wrapped full frontal...not the factory precut pieces either, full custom wrap that goes around the edges. That was $1500

Whole front bumper, headlight, full hood, front fenders, side mirrors...but material wasn't 3M, it was something else that's actually better (new material that wouldn't turn yellowish over time)

Oh that's not so bad then. Definitely worth looking into before beach trips this summer.

Any chance you could find out what he used instead of 3M? Super-interested in something that will last 5-6 years without yellowing.

3k!?!? Ummm I was quoted $700 for the entire front bumper, part of the fenders, front part of the hood and the side mirrors.

I paid 2k for the front back, sides, mirrors but if you were to do just the front it would be around $600.
