Default Where to buy a pre cut 3M clear bra?

I'm looking for a reputable place to add protection film on the Maserati.

Try nochip.ca they are in Kitchener.

I got a kit for my 996. I would recommend not getting precut. Not as easy to install as the video demonstrates and will not fit perfectly like a one piece.

May I suggest you contact Patrick Cassavan at theclearchoiceppf@gmail.com or 416-985-5987 for the clear bra question you asked.

Patrick did my car early 2012 after I had front end of my 996 repainted, full custom job, wrapped the edges under sheet metal panel edges so there is no edge or seam for people to see. I was very suitably impressed.

Patrick has been doing this for over 10 years now, he used to work for a shop who does work for Downtown Porsche for almost 10 years, he then branched out a couple of years ago on his own, and has since entered in an exclusive arrangement directly with Downtown Porsche, ie. he will only do Porsche covering through Downtown Porsche, and Downtown Porsche will only promote Patrick's film covering service.

However, Patrick will do other marque of cars through his own company without restriction, in fact he just did my sister's 2014 Lexus 2 weeks ago, full front end custom coverage too, she was in awe when I point out how invisible the work was, and how almost impossible to tell where the car is and is not covered.

I found Patrick also has incredibly high personal integrity, he made it very clear that he will not "cheat" on Downtown Porsche by sneaking a Porsche covering job on the side behind Downtown Porsche's back, even though he could have made more money if he did. Note that he did my car before entering into the agreement with Downtown Porsche.

Give him a call, tell him Ken with the violet Porsche 996 sent you, and ask for the Xpel Ultimate film if you decide to go with him, he is a certified 3M installer so he can't really promote Xpel film which is more expensive too, but he will use Xpel film if customer demands it, it is a better film from my research so I insisted to him to use Xpel.

Marco at GTA in Detail did none. The front of a 997RS is quite complex and he did an amazing job for me.

+1 for Patrick. He did a great job on my 911. Super nice guy and the consummate professional.

Having seen both, I would still prefer Patrick's work over Marco, also there were some issues I encountered when I was looking around for a shop to do this work for me, such that on principles I will no longer deal with Marco, and was very glad the paint shop I used referred Patrick to me at that time.

As moad pointed out above, Patrick is a consummate professional! There are probably only a handful of shops/individuals I have dealt with whom I would not hesitate to recommend and without any reservation, Patrick is definitely one of them.

Does Patrick also do detailing, paint correction and sealants such as opticoat? It would be nice to find a competent one stop shop.

nope, but if you are looking for that one stop shop, then your best bet is Marco + Kevin at GTA In Detail. I believe they still work out of the same garage (Mississauga). Kevin is a pretty good detailer and he does opticoat.

My daughter works in a lingerie store and sells bras, don't know if they have clear ones or if they are 3M's. I know they have C's and DD's though.

Marco has done the clear bra on my last three cars. There is no one else i'd rather have do the work on my car, and he stands behind his work. Can't recommend him enough!

He did my car in my garage, but did my sister's car inside an industrial unit in Vaughn, Dufferin and south of Langstaff area because my sister's garage is just too tight to work.

Frank Duart at autobahn auto salon does a great job of detailing and clear bra install. I can't recommend Kevin for detailing though Marco did a nice job on Ronan's green car. Frank does a lot of high end cars and he gave me a better deal than Marco. I haven't seen a better instal than Frank did on my 993. You can come and check it out if you want.
