W212 & W210
Clear Bras are good.
Would recomend that you use a professional installer cause its a PIA to DIY.

clear bra

i had XPEL put on my wifes Beetle, and it saved her headlights from rock dings several times. Dealership put it on. I'd like to find xpel film again for the new w210 (autodynamic) lights that I will be putting on this winter, in hopes to preserve the clear plastic as long as possible.

I have Xpel for my headlight (lot of investment in it, don't want to ruin it). So far so good.

anybody put these on themselves? is it easy to apply and does it conform perfectly to the shape of the lens without bubbling?

opinions: 3M or Xpel and where to order these? (i know Classic Motoring sells the 3M ones http://store.yahoo.com/classic-motoring/headsaffil.html)

I had mine installed (from xpel.com), couldn't really tell the difference (really clear), hopefully it'll be able to protect my headlight as guaranteed

I paid $30 for installation, not a simple job as the website show (shop spent more than an hour, they probably underestimate the task), since the headlight is concave.

Anyone know of a place in California that can put on a custom clear bra to fit my new bodykit? I'm sure that they make clear bras that can fit regular bumpers and such, but I'd need someting custom, and as always, I dont want to break the bank

Yeah, eventually, I will get mines installed. Kind fo bussy this week at work, but maybe bext week.

I don't need to inquite about the clear bra, it is going to be around the prices I told you before when I inquired for my car. You looking at more then what you are accustomed to spending. Holla at me on chat tomorrow!
