Let me go how this goes as I want to fix the few rock chips I have on my hood before I get a clear bra.

I would be very interested in this. As the author of this thread, do I get the first repair?

That's a possibility and you could also ask all the others to "chip" in for the cost of your repair!!!

Hi Gcalo,

Unfortunately, I haven't heard from Luis. I'm excited to have him do the work, but I can wait (a month or so) if he needs some time to coordinate everything.

Did you call or e-mail him?

I'll give him a call today but need to know what the form of contact was.

Premier did my clear bra install. I have a black car. I challenge you to find any lines. All the edges are wrapped out of view.

I spoke with Luis this morning.

It's tough for him to get to LA.

However I think if you made a list with at least 10 folks, Luis could be coaxed down there.

I also spoke with JMLA, and relayed the same although Luis had called him earlier.

Make a firm list with JMLA and I'll see if I can get Luis down there.

If a single designate darea could be achieved so Luis does not have to travel within LA you'd have a stronger chance of him getting down there.

For facilities, Luis needs 115V power and water preferably by hose.b Should be a low traffic area as well if possible.

So you should find a mutual area where he can work for 3-5 days or for whatever time he would need to do all the cars on the list. He is meticulous and will spend considerble time to make the car perfect!

He spent a whole day on my car! So bear that in mind.

I agree- bought mine with a "clear bra"- getting it removed next week- it obvioulsy is not tight enough with the real paint- does not shine/detail as well as the paint and shows every swirl- GONE!
