370z Clear Bra?

mr_sk · 10-19-2011, 08:21 PM

I dont think it's worth it - I say that because I got one installed on my front bumper (entire thing) and it ran over $500 for the bra + installation.

At that rate, you could just get the bumper re-sprayed. I'd say it's not worth it.

To do the entire front (bumper, fenders, lights, 1/2 hood), you're looking at probably 1.5K - seems silly to me, but that's just my opinion.

For what you say costs $1,500, I got for $500.

OP - best investment you can make.

That's amazing - I don't know where you went in Houston, or what prices are compared to NY, but I couldn't find anyone that did it any cheaper.

If you can get this done for $500 it's a no brainer (the entire front).

I have a black Z '11 and I did this at like ~500 miles. I'm glad I did it. If I had PW or Silver I wouldn't do it. We'll see how it fairs in 2 years.

I had the whole car minus doors, rear bumper, and hatch done in ventureshield ultra. $1700. Well worth it. Noone has ever spotted it unless I showed them, and our paint is as soft as it is pretty. It's also very thin. No touch up will ever truly look oem, and I don't want to buy a sports car with a repainted front end "because of gravel..." Riiight. You might balk, too, so why deal with it when for the same price it can be avoided, plus value added?
