Default Recommended Clear Bra Installer

I'm looking for a recommended clear bra installer for my GT3.
I'm located 2.5 hours west of Chicago in Moline, IL / Davenport, IA.
I'm not sure how far a clear bra installer is willing to travel, I'd prefer not to drive to Chicago to get it done, but I don't have any faith in the local installers as i don't think they are familiar with this type of installation.

Rennlister's what do I do?!

Give the guys at xpel a call (site sponsors). I'm sure they will know some good quality guys in the area.

I've used their film on several cars and have been very happy.

I'd google it and then read through the various forum posts.

Thx. I was hoping to find someone who recommended a place on here with some personal experience. Also the dealer doesn't have to be from Chicago, just that is the closest large city.

Also, I wasn't sure if an Installer would be willing to travel that far.

Dent Eliminators in Des Moines does a good job. He does the local Porsches, BMWs, and Ferraris.

Yes i know its very low...when i see some ppl saying they paid 3200$ for clear bra , it makes me wonder!. He has done all my cars and my friends F430, Gallardo and many others in the area. he uses venture shield . If you want some other film he will use that as well.

Fully Custom, he works in your garage and takes about 6 hrs or so.. I don't think he has a website or anything like a big company, He does a lot of local Porsche , Merc dealers work.

Does a great job. Op , i will send you a PM with his ph #.

V, when you say full car, do you mean full wrap as in every single inch of every single body panel and door of the car? For only $1k? Damn, if that's the case please PM me his contact info also and I will have my current dealer-contracted partial coverage clear bra (front end only) stripped off and redone with a full wrap!

Not a 100% wrap. Sorry i need to clarify the details. Full Front end behind the wind shield (bumper, headlights , Full front hood edges rolled), All fenders , areas below doors , rear bumper, mirrors , side portions of the wing, Pillars , Door edges. I am sure he will do full car every inch...if that's what you want. I know the price he charges for every single inch is still a lot lower than every other place i called. But i will let him set his price.

I will send you a pm.

I have a guy, who has been recommended to me as THE BEST in Chicago area, coming to my house to do my 11 3RS tomorrow, using the brand NEW X-Pel Ultimate. I will ask him how far he travels, and give you a full thread report on both he and the film tomorrow night or sometime this weekend!
