No, my wife don't wear one. I'm talking about the 3M Clear Bra. The dealer is giving me a what they say is a good price, about $2,500. I seem to remember that they go for a whole lot less.

I'm not sure I even want it. However the first road pebble chip will make me sorry if I have no protection. (there I go again)

Anyone choose to go this route?

since my car are only mostly driven for morning cruise and gathering with my club.
i chose this path, had 3M Venture shield, and since labor are very cheap back here, i had them printed out in SLS shapes already so just stick without cutting.
cost me $400 :p (no joke)

I googled clear bras and found the price range to be between $800-$!200. I called my salesman and said I'd only pay $1,200 not $2250. After fifteen minutes he called me back and agreed to do it for my offer of $1,200. Cool!

They are going to do the whole hood at my request so as not to have a line across the hood where the bra ends. They're doing the fenders and mirrors too.

I'm just conflicted as to whether or not I really want it. It seems to take something away from the car. However, chips on the nose and hood are certainly unwanted.

Well I made the deal so I should do it. Of course I'll post photos of how it looks when it's done.

In my honest opinion i would not go for 3M. Especially on the SLS. They tend to yellow after a while and they don't have self healing that Xpel Ultimate has. I got a full package on my SLS and i could not be any happier. It is definitely better to pay extra for that premium film.

Expel is a great product. I didn't choose a brand but I did asked if it was 3M. The Mercedes guy says "yep" but I doubt that he knew.

I've been told that there have been improvements in the clear material over the years but I can't confirm that.

I would not pay a penny over $1000, in fact you should be able to find it for $600-$900 depending on how much coverage you actually want. I had my wifes GL done, entire hood, bumper cover and front fenders for $900

What can I do? I already made the deal. But I'm ok with it. If I shopped around for a lower price, I'd be working with an unknown person. The guy coming to the dealer is like their regular guy.

The installer used LLumar material. It comes with a five year warrantee. It's 8 mils thick. Most others are 6 mils.
i can't see it!
