Default clear bra pics?

Anyone have any pics of their car with a clear bra (3M, Xpel, Rockblocker etc) on? Preferably a dark color like FM or BSP. It seems most of these products use the same 3m film, so they should all look similar if installed properly.

Thanks

I have RockBlocker on my FM tC and you can't see it unless you look closely. Even if I took a picture you wouldn't be able to see it unless I got right up on it with the sun against it, then you'd only be able to see the edge of it, nothing more.

I have 3M on my car - I've posted the pictures on other threads before. Here are two of them - you should bear in mind that you can't see it in general. These pictures are specially set up so that you CAN see it, so you can see what it looks like when you're looking for it.

Look at the first put..you can see the line on the hood and going down the bumper..that's where the bra starts.

I personally dont like how you can see the line that would bug me. But then again so would rock chips! thank god i dont drive much

Thanks iowagary, that's exactly what I was looking for. Doesn't look bad at all, even when you can see it. Just out of interest how much was your install?

Thanks 2Wright... I love it. Every scratch on my car bugs the crap out of me, so having a front fascia and hood without them is great. The install itself was like $250 or so, but I took it to an expensive place - I just wanted to get it done right.

As for Scooby, if you approach the car from the front, you can't see any lines until you're about 2 feet away and looking for them. People who drive with me every day still don't notice - one found it a few months after we started carpooling and thought it was plastic from the factory. You don't know unless you already know. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I am driving up to Phoenix this Saturday to have mine done up with the Rockblocker kit. It is so worth it in my opinion, unless of course you WANT to repaint.

If you had someone lined up who has done tCs before it would probably be more like 3 hours, assuming your car is really clean (like clay bar clean) when you drop it off. Like all things, it will probably end up being a full day.

It took RockBlocker a couple hours to do my kit and it is well worth it. I would definitely do it again.

Default clear bra

I don't mind if women wear clear bras.
