Ill check them out, I was quoted $1700 by another local shop here in Edmonton. Which I find crazy, For that price I can get the front repainted every 4-5 years.

Take it apart and put it back together again...just ot keep you sharp hehe

Actually I am running clear bra...friend put it on at his shop after hours so got a good price.

Totally worth it...I have half hood, front bumper, mirrors....barely see the division although now its been almost 2 yrs, bit of curl near one of the edges of the wheel wheel...will just cut that with an exacto

And that is crazy expensive, i imagine it might cost more in deadmonton but still

For that price I will just plan a road trip down south of the boarder to get the front end repainted. Maybe ill just wrap the bumper? Better yet ill get a bug deflector for the car! haha.

I already have to get a new windshield for the car

I love/hate mine... the 3M is garbage and scratches way too easy. The Ventureshield on my Lincoln has held up very well. For car shows the clear bra always looks like crap compared to a well maintained paint job... but I have no rock chips either....

my bra-less G is 9yrs old (im the original owner) and she has very minor chips from regular use, but it's hardely noticable from like a foot away.

my Z is bra-less too on the front. i have 2 chips size of a sesame seed that i touched up. i was like

but then my car is not a show car so oh well. i use a 4" wide clearbra along the bottom of the rockers that i installed myself. helps prevent front tire kickup scratches. you can get the scotch 4" roll at amazon. get the 6mil one.

hope to have both of them out loose by mid-march.
