Web9 04-08-2008, 06:30 AM I had a clear bra installed when I bought the X, but they didn't do the bumper (specifically the painted parts around the foglights,etc.). I was looking at Lamin-X. Does anyone have any experience with their products. Is 3M better? Should I do the install myself or no? Cheers. Web9 04-08-2008, 02:39 PM :bump: Anyone? No opinion/experience? PDXEvo 04-08-2008, 05:29 PM I have 3M clear bra installed on the entire front end of the car, including the bumper. I have been really happy with it on a white car. The lines are hard to see, and the material takes to polish and wax very nicely. I wouldnt think there is much difference between the two materials. I would even bet they operate pretty much identically. I know I wouldnt try to install this stuff on my own. Its pretty tough, and you need to work in a place with as little air born dust and debris as possible. Web9 04-09-2008, 01:59 AM Thanks. Maybe I won't attempt myself then. PDXEvo 04-09-2008, 02:25 AM I definitely would let a pro do the install. Then you can take it back and complain if you are unhappy. ;) CTF10 04-10-2008, 04:43 AM Heres a list of National Certified 3m Clear Bra Installers. http://forums.jdmcentral.net/showthread.php?t=795 PDXEvo 04-10-2008, 06:02 AM Useful info, thanks for sharing CTF! Kooldino 04-10-2008, 12:58 PM Only thing that sucks about the clear bra is the price. DREX 04-11-2008, 12:03 PM I reccommend 3M to everyone i know who buys a new car _Chris_ 04-11-2008, 12:08 PM Ive never used clear bra. Is it a permanent application? DREX 04-11-2008, 12:31 PM Permanent yes if you get it sprayed on Web9 04-11-2008, 02:38 PM The 3M is not permanent. It's a film that can be removed at any time. EVOXCO 04-11-2008, 02:48 PM I have a good shop that I got mine done at. PM me if you want the info. sexktten 04-11-2008, 05:48 PM Vs ;) Yahman 04-22-2008, 10:04 PM What's a rough estimate on how much for 3m install? Web9 04-23-2008, 06:13 PM What's a rough estimate on how much for 3m install? For the hood, nose, mirrors, side fenders and rear rockers cost me $350 installed. I'm about to do headlights, foglights and front bumper. Materials there cost $220 and I'm guessing another $100 for install.

Materials there cost $220 and I'm guessing another $100 for install. Not bad. Wish I had done that on my '00 prelude. It looks as though someone has sandblasted the front of my car & the side mirrors after 150k miles. :mad: | |
