Default I need a BRA on this!

Getting car painted and new goodies and need to get a clear bra installed on the car. I'm hearing the only place is Charlotte and its "expensive." I need some input on where to get it done and about how much it's going to cost me, so I don't have salt and pepper anymore! Thanks in advance!!!

My dealer has a guy that comes and installs on our cars. Most dealers can outsource someone to do it. I cannot get you a discount, but call around to dealers in Greenville and see who can get you the best deal. Our outsource guy uses the 3M clear bra, excellent stuff, and great turnaround time.

Charlotte, Steve Treece, Auto Shield Carolinas. My S was $675. Also got him to do my Fit, and it is 270 miles round-trip for me to Charlotte.

Your $$ will very depending on the pattern and amount of coverage you desire. Worth every cent. Patterns are computer generated and cut. He can do custom work as well if you want more areas done - mine included the front and the outside mirrors, as well as the door edges.

You definitely want 3M - it is the optically most clear film out there - 99,5%, and Honda even OEMs it now as their clear Door Edge Guards. It's top layer is clear coat, just like our cars.

Bra. The rear diffuser can wait, and it will look better if it is the same color as the rest of the car.

Of course you could always sandblast it before installing it.
