yea i have the ultra, it does have a glossy coat.
but the film is pretty strong. i scratched up the bottom of the vent area on my car when i was pulling out of a gas station ($88.73 FML) but the clearbra took all the punishment. i looked at it later and i could barely notice the scratch.
why do they make entrances to gas stations so steep?

A good installer can fix VS with a heat-gun and some patience to get even more of that out.

Always ALWAYS angle! I have to do this more in my Z06 than other cars I have owned, but have yet to scrape it. Just angle correct and you should have NO trouble with a 370Z. They have pretty good clearance.

O i always angle. But this dip is kinda big that enters/exits from a one-way street. So its kinda hard to angle out cause you have to approach the exit from the right side.

Dont think im ever gonna go there for gas again in my life.
Stupid machine didnt even print my receipt and the attendant was on "be back in 10 minutes" status.

Default Ventureshield clear bra pricing

Well apparently i got hooked up because cause he had some extra pieces from a previous 370z that didnt want the full body kit.
But he typically charges $1150 the full hood, fenders, mirrors, bumper and headlights. The rockers would be an extra 300, a pillars extra 80, black pillars 35 each.
But that seems more about right when compared to all the other clearbra installations.

Sounds good. SO you don't really mean the full car then I guess. A full wrap usually starts at $3-4K and is done in a shop, all at one time, from large rolls of material cut "on" the car. It takes some pro talent to pull it off right and it's overkill, but if you have an Audi R8 or something, why not? It's pennies in the bucket at that level.

Pix of a true full-wrap:
Start:


Done:





Notice the lack of lines? That is some talent and a lot more work than the "kits" you have on your Z and I have on my 'vette.

The downside is that if a rock buggers 1 piece...it's a LOT of work. Also, the $$$ that install cost is substantially more than what we paid.

If I had an R8, you can bet it would get wrapped by Premier though, even if I had to have it trucked to them and back for it.
