Default Clear Bra finally installed!

Finally, after waiting TWO YEARS to get the optional front lip piece to be made by Xpel, I got my clear bra on. Noone seems to have the OEM lip spoiler piece for 00-03's made. Yes, you can have it custom cut at an install shop, but it will never look as good as when the "factory" professionally designs/measures, test fits, etc. and impliments into their system from a template. S2ki user "dly" was kind enough to stop by Xpel so they could make a template off his car in Texas. Within minutes it was available for download by my clear bra guy and he cut it out from his plotter in 30 seconds! Cool!

I decided not to clear bar the HOOD like most.

Why? I didn't want to see that "line". I know it would drive me nuts when waxing, and when dust collects. Plus, my car is a 2002, and no chip really anywhere on the hood - - they all seem happen on the bumper, and lower lip spoiler.

I had the lower lip spoiler done and the full front bumper, and thicker pieces on the headlights. You cannot tell this has the clear bra with this setup unless your eyes are 2 inches from the car, not like others.

All work was performed by:

Negley Enterprises

negleyj@yahoo.com

If you go with him, tell him Jason sent you. He said he will DISCOUNT if I send him more people!
Great guy, as anal as I am, which is anal! His hobby is cars as well, and flawless work.

Now for the pics:

THAT is some damn fine work. I've seen others and decided not to get the bra, but if I could get it done that clean I would do it tomorrow. Compliments to the installer.

I firmly believe in it! Had mine done the second day I had it - in Tacoma. It was a bit more than $200.00

Yes, that's it's main purpose.
