Clear Bra Installed - can you even tell - I didn't think so
 
It was hard but I tried not to drive my new XB much before I could get the Clear Bra put on. I had it done at P&H Protection of Chandler Arizona do the work, I was very pleased with the installation. I also had blue film put one the head lights and the lamps on the side view mirrors.

Binh did such a good job on the clear bra I didn't feel that I got my moneys worth and thats because you can't even tell that its there. But I guess thats the whole point.

And yes the stock wheels have to go.

What'd that set you back, and how much of the front end got covered?

That looks hot! Love the blue lights.

Which company did you get the clear bra from??? How much??

Love the blue tint on the white box. Picked mine up 6/27 but haven't had much time with it, thinking about clear bra before something happens :nails: and now tint for the lights. Do you remember what colors are available, although the blue is probably the best choice. It looks great.

Clear, Smoke, & Blue, The stuff is really thick (30mils)
I think the Smoke would look good also but I thought a little color would be nice.

Thnaks, was hoping there would be a green glass bottle color, thought that would look good also. I'm in Scottsdale, Airpark Tint has done my tint etc. to all my previous rides. They want $240 for hood, mirrors, fenders & $450 for bumper area. Is that in line with your pricing? I've got the white also and saw one at the Pavillions last Sunday. Got mine at Camelback, how about you?

Are the tinted lights sprayed on or is it just an overlay you can take off? I'm looking to get a smoked look for my xB, but I don't want to do the oven method or whatnot. I want something I can revert back to stock anytime...

The hood, mirrors, fenders, and complete front for $550 the Blue on the headlights and lamps on the mirror was an extra $100 but he spent extra time on them, the computer template was not quite right so he modified it to overlay better. The blue is a very thick 30mil 3M overlay that could be removed like the clear bra

how does the clear bra work. wont rocks and debris still hit your bumper and will it not pierce through the film??
