If you need any help let us know. Also if you didnt see the sale in the commerce section. Might want to check it out. It ends this weekend.

I have had clear bras on 3 vehicles and I love 'em. So much better than a billion rock chips in the bumper!

I posted this on another thread...FYI

Just a hint...use 2 people when you install it. Many pro installers tag team the process. When you have a large piece that you are installing, like a bumper, a second person makes the alignment much easier and a second person is also great for keeping the unattached film moist while you work on the other side.

I've installed two clear bras on Miatas (which has a difficult bumper like a tC) It is not for the faint of heart. It can be done without professional help BUT you must be prepared to buy replacement pieces for the one's you might screw up. Believe me I know. The second time installing one is SO much easier...

And the sale prices from RockBlocker are great compared to other dealers. Take advantage of it while you can. I am....

The film is called 3M paint protection film. Do a search on google and you can find the film in bulk. OR you can buy from rockblocker (they are having a labor day sale) which is a pre-made kit that you can do yourself....

Location is always nice. People cant help with this question unless you say where you are. The price can vary across the country from $1-1500 based on location and what you are looking to have done
