Clear Bra - Whole Hood?
Hussain was it your white tt withthe Techart kit + the Kinesis wheels on it? I was there several weeks ago and that one was getting everything done. Brought my wife's mini cooper s and saw it there. Very nice indeed!

Hahaha... Sorry, but I can actually picture people wrapping their entire car with a clear bra... Keeps making me laugh... I think a decent size front clear bra & the 1/4 panel ones are enough... The entire front is a little overboard...
BTW, Anyone know of someone in Hawaii that can do a Ventureshield front clear bra install that is top notch... Probably not eh?

Jim,
No, that wasn't my car. My wheels haven't yet arrived.
Lil Raja,
What do you mean WE started carrying? Are you in the protective film biz?
Hdsr09,
You would be very surprised to see the entire car wrapped and the difference it makes. When I went to Premier, I had only planned on doing the front hood and bumper, however, there was a GT3RS getting the full treatment and I couldn't tell where the car was clear bra'd and where not! It was unreal. I also also shown an M5 there which had a bare front pass. door but a wrapped rear pass. door which was interesting because the owner of that car had some debris fly up and hit his car at speed putting a nice sized dent in his pass. door. When they peeled the clear bra away there was no paint damage, a simple Paintless Dent Repair fixed the job without having to paint the car, blend the paint with the fender, etc. Which saved the M5 owner the expense of getting his car repaired, not having his far for at least 2 weeks, and the diminished value of the car after a paint job. Sounds worth it to me, especially on the types of cars we drive.

True, I think it would be a VERY good thing to do on the mainland. When I lived in Vegas, there was all kinds of crap flying around on the freeway from semi's and cars speeding.
Here in Hawaii, the speed limit is 55 on the FREEWAY, and there are hardly any semi's on the road. If anything, people drive SLOWER than the speed limit on highways and the freeways...
Not to say it wouldn't happen here, but Hawaii is ALOT safer for cars than the mainland. By alot...

I had my whole hood done with the partial fenders at Sticker City in Van Nuys (L.A.).
On the edge the film didn't cover on the hood, I had them round it (not a straight line) and IMHO it looks good.
If I had it to do over again, I would have done the fenders all the way to the doors.
I also had them replace the yellowed factory rear plastic and again, I think it looks much better than stock.
That said, they did an OK job, BUT I hear nothing but great things about Premier, and I understand they do a road trip to So. Cal every 6 weeks or so.

The Premier guys travel all over the place to do custom jobs. They have pictures of custom wrapped Enzo's, Murci's, Carrera GT's, etc. As a car nut, I'm pretty weird about who works on the cars, but I can honestly say I was as comfortable as possible after seeing the M5 demo and the GT3RS.
I saw some of Premier's exotic full wraps at their grand opening – three Carrera GTs, some Ferraris, Lambos, etc. If you get a custom job, whether it's a partial wrap or full, you won't be able to see any lines.
lardog, my colleague had his Lambo Murc done by Sticker City and he found razor cuts on his car where there were the bra material. Not too sure why or how it happened, but I brought him over to Premeir becuase there were areas there were some bubbling and strange stuff going on there. Premier took it off and found some deep deep exacto cuts. Hussain, what wheels did you get? Getting any work done by Sharky?
