full body clear bra =D

sheeps

So i got my car covered in clear bra. i can't even tell it's on the car until i get up close. the stuff is pretty durable. I think it's a good investment.
i did the full hood, front fenders, rocker panels, mirrors, pillars, splash guards, little area around the grill, he even did the the space inside the nissan symbol.
took a combined total of 9 hours done in 2 days. He messed up on the hood, so he redid it for free XD.
the cool thing is he came to my house and did it.
takes about 1-2 days to dry.
It's a lot cheaper than i expected. I was getting my windows tinted with ceramic tint, and they offered a quarter hood only for $300.
He charged me $1100 for everything.

I think you guys should get it. and if you're in California i'm sure he'd give you a deal. if you want his info, pm me.

So...full car, or not? From what you are saying, no. Did I miss something?

What film did you go with? I love my Ventureshield Ultra. You're right, you can barely see it.

It's a nice way to keep your blood-pressure down when a truck gets in front of you. Love it. It has already saved my paint several nicks.

For tint, I went with Pinnacle F1 Ceramic. It is also full of win.

Like your mods, same as mine!

Also, I would do the headlights, too. DO NOT! let them use alcohol-based prep for them, though. It will craze them. Soap/water prep ONLY on headlights made of polycarbonate. I have my headlights done and you cannot tell.

=D
i was messing around with photobucket and i read the tutorial lol.
yea i used ventureshield. i guess it's ultra cause a when he was tucking the film under the hood, his razor blade was having trouble cutting it.
i'm not sure what kind of ceramic tint i got, but it's 9-layered 30% all around and 60% windshield.
i'm gonna get my lights smoked and possibly landing strip LEDs =DDDD

sheeps

i'm getting the rear fenders, door, and roof done later.
he's doing it in pieces for me cause i have classes at night and i gots to drive to school

Looks like he is doing a good job!

Unless you are going to do a full custom wrap, I would just stick with what you have. What you got is a kit, but a well-done one. If you have him do the whole car piece-meal it just defeats the purpose imo.



I went with a kit on my car, too, and a good installer, and am very happy with the results. I did:

Rocker panels
Rear Brake ducts
Front brake vents
1/3 hood
1/3 roof
1/3 fenders
full front fascia
headlights
fog-lights

Total cost was $1150

I have yet to get hit in an area that is not filmed *knock on wood*. Save the $$ and just stick with the "trouble areas" since you aren't doing a custom wrap.

"Ultra" has nothing to do with how tough it is. Ultra has a gloss coat on it to eliminate orange-peel. Here is what Ultra looks like on my car. (in this picture, the parts done are the headlight, first 1/3 of the hood, and entire front-clip)

sheeps

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.

fuzzywuzzy

your nissan logo is crooked

Shadow.

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.

sheeps

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.

Could you hear banjos in the nearby distance?
