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.

still trying to figure out how to add pics on this forum =/
i have tons of pics i wanna show

=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

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.

your nissan logo is crooked

Yea not full body but it is full body. I mean im paying the price of a standard kit but getting hooked up with left over pieces.
Only things left for me are the roof, doors, rear fenders, trunk (which i wont be doing).
Btw if u have an exotic car clearbra is the best investment you can make on the car.

Wow, having the full protection would be sick and the job above is impressive as when you look at mine, you can see the lines about 1 mm in.... definitely a good idea on a car such as an R8 and anything comparable.

I got my front bumper, half hoof, half fenders and side mirros, makes quite a difference and nice peice of mind

I have the same wrap done (full hood, full fenders, and the kit bumper, rockers, mirrors) Its saved my *** several times. they just needa make a clear bra for windshields haha. I paid $1000 using ventureshield. I would've loved to get everything custom cut but thats too much $$$ for the fenders my installer even took out the Z sidemarkers to tuck the bra underneath it.
