Clear Bra Installer
I'm looking for a Clear Bra installer in South Florida. Palm Beach or Broward County. Would also appreciate information on the approximate cost and how long it takes to complete.

I don't know the name of the business, but there is a guy that goes by Pepe that does excellent work in SE Florida. Cost should be around $700 and it should take a few hours depending on how much you get done. Most important is to use an experienced installer... which isn't always the one the dealership uses.

Autoshell ... 954-941-8040 - leave a message for Ken, he'll call you back. Full front might run about $500(?). Takes a couple hours. A guy will come over to your place to install. I've used him twice and been happy with the work.
Incidentally, earlier someone said something about yellowing. I've had it done on white cars, one over a year ago, and I think some yellowing is inevitable - especially on white.

Any work done by champion even if outsourced meets the criteria for a warranty by them.after all you pay champion not the installer .I have complained about my stoneguards just in front of my rear tires being yellow and they will replace them on my first oil change due in a couple of months.I have had no negative experiences with them as of yet...i enjoy the service manager and his honesty.He has talked me out of some things and talked me into others.Currently debating tubi exhaust and headers.

Normank: i gave considerable time and thought to a bra on my car which is white like yours and opted against it purely for the waxing and cleaning aspects of it. i bought a small tube of touch up paint i had ordered for my car and have used it twice on small dings on the nose...no big deal.if my car was black or another dark color maybe i would have gone a different direction.if my stone guards installed by porsche are allready yellowing think what the bra would look like.

I watched a guy at a dealership do the front of a new turbo a few years back ... and asked him what it was going to cost ... and as I recall it was something like $850. If you don't mind paying something in that area, why go anywhere else?

Im not a good enough driver to take my car to the track.I was told that the bra would not stop dents only paint chips.Im into keeping a pristine beautiful porsche and the bra would drive me crazy.As it is its a pain in the *** to keep the stone guard edges from collecting grime.

I've seen his work several times and have always been impressed. We may bring him over to do a Bentley Flying Spur, Maserati Quatroport, and redo a CGT that was done at another dealership (bug splat under plastic).
My $.02 on yellowing... the newer plastics are better than the older ones. I saw a job this past weekend done by Auto Supershild on a white GT3 that looked great. However, I think longterm it will still show some yellowing. The good thing is it can always be pulled off and redone, which beats a respray anyday in my book.
