What do you guys think?
Found it on eBay: "MERCEDES-BENZ E-Class & E55 AMG 3M CLEAR BRA" Price (Buy it now) $100. Already pre-cut for the beast. Seems like a good price, considering one of my friends just got his A3 done somewhere in Orange county, CA for like $500. Think it is a good deal? or should I just shell out the extra cash and get it done right the first time?

Are you saying you would do it yourself? If so you are about to flush away $100. Let a proffessional do the Clear Bra.

Installing yourself is not that easy.... IMO, it requires an experienced artist to do it 
I tried and couldn't do a good job.... it's very tough to align, especially the bumper.
I bought a kit for my other car, and felt I wasted the money.
So yes, you spent a lot of money on the E, better spend extra cash to get a quality job. I'm gonna have mine done at Premier.... They're a bit pricey... but a lot of members said their work is top notch.

if no one bids on it and you get it for 9.99 then that is not a big waste of money. otherwise let the pros do it.

Thanks for the input guys. Based on your comments, I think i'm better off getting it done professionally. Unless, I get it for 10 duckets haha. Hey PGF, I am located near LA, where is your spot located?

This place sounds good. http://www.clearbra.net/ I found it on Google. They use a non-prefab process so you don't see the edges. I'm going to look into it further.

even for pro's, sometimes they have to rip it off and re-do in order to achive perfection, its a hard task.
