Default 3M installed!



I just got the full bra installed professionally with a custom cut piece for my oem front lip spoiler. They did a fantastic job and I'm glad I did it.

I had just waxed the entire car before I had this done and I know they had to strip the wax from the paint before applying the 3M. Can I reapply the wax to the hood and over the 3M film now?

You should have gotten instructions on care from the installer. My installer's instructions told me to wait a month for the moisture underneath to evaporate and the glue to fully cure prior to waxing. The 3M product is supposed to have built in UV protection anyway.

I got mine installed in July and love it.

What the he!! is that picture of?

I've been thinking about doing this. How much did the 3M bra cost (materials + installation)?

Thank you

well my point with the picture is it is very hard to see the film....judging by your posts I don't think anyone can see the faint line to the right of the reflection of the light bulb.

cost me $550 including the custom cut film to cover the oem lip
I did not get the rocker panel or rear bumper 3M film. If I started doing all that I figure I might as well wrap the entire car in saran wrap and keep it in the garage
