370Z Clear Bra
 

does anyone have this on their car? If so, would you suggest it and what is the cost?

Read my sig it is all over my G. I love it and when installed right it it very hard to tell it is there. It is a must have if you live in Alberta.


Edid: cost: My tint and clear plex included the total cost was 1500 CAD

Didn't you know? The 370Z paint can self heal. Its amazing. Just ask Shumby about it. He knows. lol

it self heals but rock chips don't heal lol

I definitely think investing in a clear bra is a worthwhile expense. I know I will be having it done.

Me too... We have moron truck operators out here that move rocks and dirt from construction sites without covering their trailers. Rocks and dirt smack my hood, bumper, and glass pretty much every day.

does anyone know a place where they can install clear bra in texas???

Does anyone have a contact for a supplier for the clear bra material. I've got a body guy that now does vinyl signs, etc so I'm sure he'd be a shoe in for applying it :)

Guys,

Paint Protection Film - XPEL Technologies Corp.

Oh btw, I had this done to my car. I've got pics in this thread if you want to have a look:

Has anyone had this on a black car? Does it do Ok on black? I love the idea but am a little worried about getting it on a black car. Seems like it would be a no-brainer on a lighter colored car.

Here's a link to the photo gallery belonging to the guy who did this on my Z. He takes pics of all the cars he considers hot and puts them in his gallery. It should give you an idea. He's done a lot of black cars.

My questions:
~Washing a car, same?
~Edges, does it collect dust, dirt, etc.?
~Besides protecting from flying rocks, etc., does it help repel general dirt at all or collect it more?

In order:
Yes
No
Collects dirt the same as normal paint does. No more, no less.

Well that is good to know, guess I can add that to the list of things I will get done right away. I was just worried about it collecting dust at the edges and making it worse, thanks for clarifying.

On light colored vehicles you an see dirt over time along the edge lines.

I use Plexus as a finishing polish and cleaner on the bra surfaces.

Good thing I am debating Black or Platinum Graphite. :D

Educ8r -- I'm feeling a little confused as to why you posted this thread. There's an earlier thread on this, and you asked these same questions already in that thread. Moreover, on 1/19 in post #14 of this other thread, you stated that you already got it installed! Yet here you are, asking what it costs? You even posted pics of your car after getting it installed, along with the remark "Pretty good job, $470 with lifetime warranty." What gives? Am I misunderstanding what you're asking in this new thread? Because it kinda seems like you're asking questions you already know the answers to.

He posted this on 1/2/09, before he had it installed.

Ahhhh!!! Now it makes sense! Thanks for catching that! :bowrofl:
And here I was scratching my head wondering what on earth the guy was smoking because I thought it was a brand new thread. My bad!

:owned:

I just got back from Aero Tect WOW Jason,Adriana and Jeanne THANK YOU. GREAT JOB on my BLK 370Z. If you want paint protection GO to Aero Tect.

Any pics?

Pic well come soon. Look at My Picture Album before.

Well not on my 370Z but on my other Z. Better think of this. as good as it is. you can't touch up if something really hits it hard ..it will go through....and to take it off.
Is NOT CHEAP. what happened to the cool 80's bra's of leather.... lol

I like it but every once in awhile i get that comment..".there a line across your hood.". as in
(scratch) i repy "its the invisibe bra." yes it works wonders....but ony if you really need it. It does slightly detract from clean lines..maybe not new...but give it time.

I figured at some high speed driving, it was worth to have. i was correct. A few track days passing , drafting.... alot of crap can get spit up into the air on the back stretch

I had it on my 02 350Z and it was well worth the investment. Just keep in mind that it only lasts about 5 years before it starts to show it's age and starts peeling and that's always being parked in a garage.
