991S Cup Kit


I had my total front end done and the lights covered by clear bra. Came out good but it did cost.

If you have clear bra on your whole hood does anyone know if you can do a wrap over it? I was thinking about having my hood wrapped in black?

This would be highly dependent on the installer. It does take more skill and experience to wrap edges as it typically requires custom application. There are certain precut kits that would provide wrapped edges on hood as well, so check with your local installer to see if it is an option they provide.

Here is an example of what we do:

Clear bra is a must if you plan on keeping the car for a while.

I had my car almost completely wrapped by the guys at Premier.

I say $3-4k for a plastic wrap is lunacy. However I know many p car owners are very ****. I'm pretty **** as well, but I've found a good mask job perfectly adequate. I've had them done twice for about $600. You can see some of the edges, but can't tell it's there on the major surfaces. Got it done on my m3 and hit a tire tread with the front bumper the following week! A little heat and some polish and the guy took the mark right off the bra. I suspect the car would still have a mark if it was directly on the bumper. I just had Venture Shields done. With the extra money I can get another set of tires and other mods!

I just had the front of mine done and it was a little over 800. I didn't do the whole hood just about half, the bumper, front of the fenders and the mirrors. No brainer for the price.

I was just at the dealer for my $99.95 Black Friday oil change and they had a new 911 on the lot that was completely wrapped in front, hood, and fendors. Definitely a quality job; I would have never noticed it except for the dealer add-on sticker...$2K.

Not sure who did mine or when, but not nearly as nice...however, does help reduce paint chips. And of course there's a small chip an inch past where the clear bra stops on my fender...
