Clear bra

I am sorry if this is an old question but does anyone know what a clear bra from 3m should cost on the bumper and lower hood.
Thanks.

Do you plan on doing this yourself?

No I don't want to put it on myself. Just trying to get an idea of the cost.

I paid $600 for the installer to come to my home and put it on a TT nose. Also included the roof; rockerpanels (including underneath and where it comes into the wheel well); 18" up the hood; mirrors; and strip under gas cap opening. That was 1 1/2 years ago. /watched him do it. Amazing how they work with that stuff.

anyone know how to buff out a superficial scuff on a clear bra? I've got a very unsightly scratch on it (10cm x 0.5cm).

Well then if you plan on having a professional do it (which I highly recommend) just take one word of wisdom......DO NOT skimp. You WILL get what you pay for unless you know the installer and are getting a professional discount. This is one mod where you you can quickly turn a $100K car into a cheap rice rocket that will look like you tried to do this yourself. I had it done and did ALOT of shopping around. My first suggestion to start looking is call the dealer (call you service advisor) and ask him who they sub out the work to. Best place to start. I compared about 1/2 dozen places here in town and couldn[t be happier with the result. Another thing...ask if they are using the newest (3M) film AND solution that prevents yellowing. The older stuff was prone to yellowing after several years.

I am definitely doing 3m

Made the mistake of not doing on my 996. I am so doing it on my 997S. Hell, I would do the whole car if possible.

I paid about $1000. Front fenders, full bumper, headlights, hood & mirrors. My guy actually wrapped the film around the corners of the hood & fenders. It the best investment I've made. Make sure you get a pro, especially if you have a dark color car. They are the most difficult to do. There's a new film out that is so good you can see it on the car from 10 feet away. If done properly of course. Take your time check out other guys cars, see who did their work. They'll tell you who's good and who's not. Post photos if you get it done. Best of luck.
