There are several threads in here about clear bras for the 4GS, many of us have had it done.

I've done it, it comes down to the installer, if the installer is great the results will be great, if he/she isn't it will turn out terrible. make sure to get your edges tucked

I had mine done in earlier this year. No regrets.

Agreed ... the key is how good your installer is.

thanks for the input fellas.

any of you guys get it done on a white car? im worried that the material will yellow around the edges.

a friend of mine got it done on his gtr and around the edges you can see for example pollen all over the edges

Mine's silver. You just need to keep it clean.

After having it I will never not have it on a car...

I honestly think it is worth it I got quite alot of rock chips in the front. If I had to do it all over again I would pay more for clear bra and paint protection.

It will yellow. I've had mine for three months now and you can already begin to see some color difference in extreme light.

I know I'm gonna get some rock chips by saying this... But I personally don't like the extra layer whether it's partial or complete. I want to be able to feel and enjoy the smoothness of the paint.

You should file a warranty claim.

its worth it, but the best brand is Xpel ultimate, and it suppose to be one of the best and no yellowing like the 3M brand. and if the car is dark no worries and if its white then for sure u will see the differense, but its worth it if u are thinking abt it.
