Default Recommendations for a Clear Bra Installer - East Bay

Hi, I think the best is 3M. Anyone recommend a shop near Orinda? Thanks.

You cant go wrong with those two recommendations above. But i got my car done at motoskin, they're really cool dudes and the prices were competitive. They were mobile so it was way more convenient for me, Infact i got some more work for them in a next few weeks..

call up matt from central coast clear bra. he's mobile and will come to you... i think he's even from your area so it will be easier and faster. he recently did my ls460 and i'm happy. talk to him about the difference between 3m and ventureshield.

he has a pic of the SLR and veyron he did on the website.

I apologize if this has been asked before. But incase it hasn't, can people who have gotten clear bra from either Premier or Omega post pics? Can you guys also tell me whether it's worth the extra to get a custom full front bumper? I want to know where the lines end around the bumper with the standard kit.

Thanks.

If you have a stock front bumper just get the pre-cut kit for your car. The custom wrap is really for the people who have aftermarket bumpers.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I had Matt at Central Coast Clear Bra come to the house and install a 3M on Wednesday. It looks great - essentially invisible except for the thin line across the hood. I didn't get the full hood covered, but the 24" coverage. I also got the head lights covered with the 8mm covering. So far it is working fine. Cost was $710 including $10 sales tax and I didn't have the hassle of driving and waiting. BTW, even the line is not visible from most angles - you really have to know where it is to see it. The front bumper is fully covered except the very bottom, where the car can scrape while parking.

I've honestly tried or seen the work of all the companies mentioned on this forum in Cali, and the best IMO is Premier hands down. www.premiermobilegroup.com

That's where I take all of my cars to. Great guys, Sam's been doing it forever, and I love to see the cars that roll into their shop. And their work is 2nd to none that I have ever seen. Be sure to get the whole hood. That line on the hood kills me everytime I washed my old IS. Now, I don't worry bout it anymore
