Clear Bra and Tint!

Tint looks great with the red. What tint did you go with?

How much was your clear bra, and do they last awhile? Been considering one.

Did they remove the third brake light when doing the rear windshield? Looking at the shape of their tint I assume they did, was it a painless process? I'm afraid of a tint shop breaking the clips on mine, but at the same time I want to make sure that area gets tinted.

the Nano stuff is very expensive. i have a friend that owns a shop so they did it for 650. but that was hood fenders front clip. fogs and inner black out. plus door cuffs and mirrors. headlight was included but my friend said don't do it. they do have the SS in the system as a pre-cut

Looks great. We have been checking into film and tint. What state are you in? Had the 3m product on another car and it saved the front end from lost of wear.... Nano sounds better

i am on the other side of the country.... west coast.

i have heard form installers for 3m a hit and miss on long term. but i have not heard anyone say anything bad about the Nano yet. either way the stuff does totally help on saving the front from small chips for sure!

How does it hold up? I have seen a lot that end up looking really bad after 1-3 years due to wax etc. I have door edge guards installed and was thinking of putting the handle protection on too.

well nano is still rarely new so hard to know long term. on this one they asked if i wanted door edge guards i told them no. but it does have door cuffs and mirror done on it.

too bad about your location we are definitely going to do it...
the 3m lasted 6 years, and then it was in such a yellow state that we peeled it off....(no damage)

what made you choose the nano

i have a friend that does installing for a living so he recommended it. he didn't install it himself but his employee did.

Would you ever consider having the whole vehicle wrapped in 3M clear?
