looking for shop to do clearbra in bay area

Postby Projex0 » Tue Sep 04, 2007 9:08 pm

like the title says im looking for a shop in the bay area to clear bra my car's front end. there are some nics and scraches from road crap on the freeway so im assuming the workers would touch up the areas that need it before putting on 3m film?

anywhere decent price range not too expensive, but not crappy work

if it helps im in san jose near 280 and san jose city college.

I had mine done by a friend who owns a shop in Fremont... they are actually contracted to do cars directly from the Infiniti dealership.

They only do the clear bra/tint though, and do not do any touchup, so you'd be responsible for that.

If you're interested, I'll ask for a quote.

If you look very carefully, you can see the seam of the clear bra (tip of headlight to wheel well, and across the hood)

are you willing to change the clear bra every three years? Because thats when they start yellowing, pitting, or fading. Or earlier.

Hey, just a heads up, I'm still waiting for a response... I don't know if I'm at liberty to say how much I had it done for, since it was pretty much at cost (+ the cost of dinner).

If you're looking for the absolute cheapest solution, this is not it... he used 3M film, which I've heard is top quality stuff (none of that "lasting only three years"... I've read at least 7 years.)

It covered the front portion of the car (bumper hood, pretty much where the line is) and the sideview mirrors. Nothing on the pillar.
