Default ClearBra installed on GFM.......finally! (pics)

well, after 8 months of owning my car i finally got around to installing a VentureShield clear bra. Thanks to the advice of many CL members...i went to AeroTect in LaVerne and had them to the job. i cant say enough good things about AeroTect. the installation is flawless and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone here in SoCal. Its nearly impossible to see.....i dont know??? you tell me?
BTW.....i opted for installation on the full bumber, 18" up on the hood, front of fenders, headlights/foglights/driving lights, mirrors, and door handle cups!


This is why so many of us live in Southern California!!!

in that last pic, your car almost looks blue. i kinda like that color!



congrats on the clear bra install, now you've got years of worry free driving ahead of you. wish i had done it to my GS years ago since now my hood looks like it's been a war zone.

and that is a true representation of how it looks too!!

Glacier Frost Mica looks AMAZING in two weathers. When its sunny and not a cloud in the sky....you reeeeally get to see the pearl. and when its muggy and grey in the sky....the car has this awesome blue tone to it. The very first thing people say when they see my car is something about the paint. i love it, and am glad i decided to get it!!

Looks great. But you waited 8 months? Was the front end of your GS still in great condition?

After six months of driving, the front end of my GS already had tons of chips.

i had small chips in the paint, but i baby the hell outta this thing! AeroTect does touch-up before applying the ClearBra too.

Seriously huh? GFM is supposed to be the best color for a ClearBra cuz it changes color depending on the angle your looking at it. that, in turn, hides the line. Im happy!
