I have the lens covers on both cars....never had a problem. I got them from Performance products as well! As to the clear bra call Rich at body skins 847.530.8443. He wiil come to your house or office to do the job. He also installed the lens covers for like $20, b/c I didnt wat to be bothered! His web is www.body-skins.com He's GOOD! Tell him Dave with the E55's and SC430 referred you!

Perfect I will pick up a set....thanks. I'm really on the fence with the clear bra....I need to see a car with a quality install before I take the plunge...Do the clear bras use any type of adhesive or is it strictly a static fit ???

SL 65 AMG and E63s AMG
I've used Xpel light protection (not bra) on my last 3 M3s and both W211s I've had and have never had a complaint.

I applied them myself without a problem. Spray on a alcohol water solution, float them on, squeegie the bubbles and your done. They'll easily come off but I've never had one come off inadvertantly. I havent noticed any yellowing either.

One lens cover (driving light assembly) on the M3 will pay for the kit.

Vader,
I have the clear bra with the lens protectors and pillar/roof area protection. I am impressed with it's low profile and the intense protection it has given me. If you want to see it maybe we can hook up sometime. I'm in the northwest suburbs.

I also have the bra, it does have a adhesive back. In order to see the bra line, you have to be within two feet of the car. My car is the same color as yours...let me know if you want a show!

I'm in South Holland, but have a cutie I see in Highland Park from time to time. Will probably be your way next week!
