Anyone get clear bra installed?

[Bradrulz]

Was wondering what the approximate ballpark cost is for something like Xpel or 3M clear bra? Haven't ever checked into it for a car before, but am starting to think about it.

I paid $680 for a SunTek wrap. They wrapped the whole front bumper, all lights, 18" of the hood, 18" of fenders, sideview mirrors, inside of door handles and bottom 2 inches of trunk door. The installer had Xpel, 3M and Suntek. He showed me that the Suntek material was clearer than the 3M and Xpel. There were visible imperfections with the Xpel. 3M makes great tint but they're still far behind compared to Xpel and SunTek. Hope this info helps.

680 installed? Thats probably the best price ive ever read. Hmm

Question do bugs easily clean off the clear bra?

Mine was $750 installed. I have Xpel on the whole front end and the side view mirrors. I didn't do the hood. Bugs and other dirt wash off very easily.

I paid USD$280 for the film and installed myself. It takes Zen-like patience but it can be done. The bugs wash off really easily. I just wax the film when I was the car and that seems to make it even easier to remove the bugs.

I have the Xpel installed on the front end, including 30" back on the hood and fenders, the mirrors and headlights. If I remember right, it was $1,800.

My question...Is it really worth it when it's all said and done?

Seems like a lot to me but hey what do I know?

Bugs come off no problem. You can apply a sealant and wax to the wrap. The installer scratched it on purpose with a brush and it looked new after he applied water.

A hub cap (wire side of it) recently hit my car on the freeway and punctured a hole in the wrap. The damage would have been really really bad if it wasn't for the SunTek wrap. The hub cap actually hit hard enough to damage the plastic piece below the bumper. It scratched it pretty bad. The installer charged me $50 to replace the portion of the wrap that was punctured.

Under $1,000 probably a reasonable price for the protection. Over $1,000 (and especially over $1,500 approaching $2,000), you get into territory where fixing the chip (yourself or professionally even) may be cheaper in the long run after day 5 years (the normal life of a clear bra)

I installed Suntek myself also. I've done a few, as said above, takes time and patience for the front bumper. $200 was my cost.
So far as worth it. $200, well worth it! Nothing sticks to it, don't have to worry about rocks, bugs etc... If I had to pay $1000-1500...I don't know. It does keep the covered areas 100%.

I had a 3M wrap put on my front end and mirrors for around $700

Suntek $550 installed front bumper, front of hood, mirrors, door cups, lights.
