Should I clear bra my brand new E350?

[Dr_jitsu]

On my GT2 and M3 the decision is a no brainer, but the E350 has a lot of grill and not as much paint area. I am leaning towards the bra even though. Opinions from veterans? This car will be my daily and will do a good amount of highway miles.

Did you lease it or buy it? Lease no buy yes.

Buy....how much should I expect to pay? Less coverage, but more complex job.

I paid a grand for my entire front including my hood. Some guys will do a partial front but I opted for the whole hood which has proved worth it.
I even did my windshield for my track cars with Madico. Venture film seems to be the best, as it was just bought out by 3M. As with any of these installs, it's the installer not the product.

Fortunately, I have a good guy (he did my M3 and another car...unfortunately I had a not so good guy install on my GT2).

let me know how much you end up paying for it. i'm thinking the same thing b/c my car is white, but i don't want to spend too much b/c the car wasn't that expensive.

[Dr_jitsu]

I spent 1K for everything (ceramic tint and bra) but I have done a lot of bus. w/ the installer.

Who did you end up using?

[PAULIEWALNUTS]

Drivers source charges 495.00 for clear bra,they are use to working on high end vehicles (they do some for the Lamborghini dealer)

Ceramic tinting should be about 350 -400 tops.

So for about 850-900max you can get everything.

Sean payed to much.

what color car? Film starts to yellow over time on white cars. Dark cars show more stone chips. I'm thinking of NOT clear bra-ing my new white RR Sport...just thinking...

[Dr_jitsu]

Paid 350 for Pinnacle F1 ceramic tint....D source only has 3M and they do not make a good ceramic, dear Walnut. Bra was $500 and $80 for headlights plus tax.

Job was excellent and price was fair.

[PAULIEWALNUTS]

Very well,I thought you said you paid 1K.

[Dr_jitsu]

Yes, 1K for everything out the door, you Elementary Penguin.

[PAULIEWALNUTS]

Well it looks like you payed 150 -200 too much Elementary Walrus.I will give you some negotiating skills one day.

[Dr_jitsu]

500 for bra, 350 for tint, 80 for headlights....all those were the best prices around, w/ tax total is a bit over 1K. Sunny is as good as Steve Perez in terms of work.

Where did you learn math? Did the doc drop you on your head, or were you born already retarded?

BTW, I will give you a chance to run me on low boost tonight, so you will only lose by 3 lengths this time.
