GS350 Clear Bra! Check It Out..
Hey guys,
I just recently got my GS350 and my other RX has been banged up by rocks and chips galore so I decided to get this clear armor on my car. I've been soo paranoid since my car is white and I don't want any chips on it. Basically, I got all the areas prone to chips covered on my car. Anyways, here are some pictures I wanted to share..kinda hard to see, but it's worth a try...
First picture is of the front...parts covered my clear bra: 24 inches of the hood, front part of fender, all lights (head, fog, brights)

looks good, word of advice, if you go on long trips and know ur gonna hit bugs, wipe them off as soon as possible. the bug's blood tends to soak into the clearbra and leave a mark you can't get out. this has happened on all 3 times i've had the clearbra put on.... i guess i never learn

Looks like a super job.... I hope I can find someone in my area who can apply the film this good. You've given me some good ideas... I didn't think about the trunk lid until you showed your's being done... thanks.

Silversport:
The car looks awsome!! It's nice that you put some on top of rear bumper and on the door handle (cup) area. I usually just use zaino to remove those scratches. I also found that bugs come off easily during wash. You can apply wax directly on top of it.
Lexant:
Yes, if you don't get the bug off soon, it tends to leave a mark. But I'd rather have the mark on the film, then on the car itself. A little trick I used: take some 70% alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and lightly clean the film. It takes marks/scratches....off. Works well!!

Thanks for the advice everyone! I will be sure to clean off the bug stains. I didn't know the clear bra could potentially be stained!

Yeah, you can definitely see it and of course feel it if you're standing right next to the car. In pictures it's a bit harder to see unless you take the picture at the right angle with the right lighting.

I've seen other clearbra work done from other sources in the Bay Area. Don't be fooled by exotic cars on a website. I've seen the quality of work done on those cars including some of our own members...it's not that great for what you pay for.
