Just picked up my car with a full frontal bra done. Hood, fenders, bumper, headlights and mirrors. Xpel was the product. It is spectacular. No seams, clear as a bell, and very undetectable. Although my car was a garage queen when I got it, I drive it like hell. I have so much more comfort knowing the road debris has less of a chance of pi$$ing me off. The price was also reasonable compared to a re spray

 

I'm happy I had it done.
Clear bra will NEVER look as good as freshly polished paint, but it's a good path AFAIK

To demonstrate reflectivity, here is a photo of the hood of my car with clear bra installed.

 

Lookin good Craig!

 

Any rec. for spell in SoCal anyone?

 

Try Glistening Perfection. Search GP Renewal Service: 993S

 

I assume you mean XPEL

Let us know how we can help. We install the material and it works very well.

 

Thinking about having bumper, full hood and fenders wrapped in xpel. Would anyone care to share roughly how much it is? I got a quote from one shop but it sounded high.

 

+-$800

 

Thanks, was quoted $3500k
Ok, I'll just look for another shop! Anyone know a good one in central Florida?

 

"Full frontal" package here is $1700 with XPEL

 

These guys just did a PCA Tech session last night here in SD, which I attended:

They do lots of high end cars and multiple types of graphics/wraps/films/coatings and windshield coating. Two cool things I saw: 1. Window tint product that did UV blocking so you don't have to tint dark (I don't care for tinted windows) to keep the heat down. 2. Paint coating they can apply to wheels that will prevent brake dust from sticking (but something like $400 for a wheel set).

No affiliation, other than the PCA connection (I believe they give a PCA discount).

 

$1200. Wrap from bumper ---> windsheild, fenders, and the mirrors.

 

Thanks for all replies. I just put a new RUF bumper on so it would be nice to protect it! And the hood is in very good condition for a 58k mile car. If I can get it done for $1500 I'll do it. Otherwise drive it and see what happens!

 

Your car looks great! Did you get xpel?

 

I do not know what was used; but, he is THE pro in St. Louis.
Mark's Clear Auto Bra.
He is very good.
