Default Clear Bra Price

Because I do alot of open road travel, I am looking into have a clear bra put on my car. Of course I have a few questions regarding price and known issues or "gotchas." What price should I expect to pay for a 3M front bra? And what issues come along with putting a clear bra on the car? Thanks for the help.

Have you tried the spray on clear coat? I've heard great things about it.

3M clear bra runs anywhere between $400 to $600 for partial hood and fender, bumper, and side mirror coverage.

Issues? Only thing I can think of are detailing issues, which can be found in out Automotive Care and Detailing Forum. They should answer more of your questions.

Good luck. GET THAT CLEAR BRA!!!

Default Clear Bra

I just had the bumper, hood, front of fenders (done in 18"), headlights, fog lights, mirrors, inside door handles in 3m clear. It cost me $638. The dealer wanted $695 just for the front of the fenders and hood (in 12"). Well worth the investment!!

If you are near Cincy, do a search of other posts on the subject as it's discussed in detail.

Full Coverage 3m (24") custom install, not a kit was $600.
