Thumbs up Premier Mobile Group - Clear Protective Film Review/Feedback

I have recently installed clear protective film (clear bra) on the entire front-end of my car as well as the trunk and rear bumper through Premier Mobile Group, and wanted to share my experience with you in case any of you is considering this option. First, I would like to thank Sam and Kris at Premier for the outstanding work performed on my car, and for their hospitality and excellent service throughout my multiple visits . They have answered every question and have addressed every concern I had before, during, and after my installation. I will definitely use Premier again for all my future vehicles.

Before deciding to install the clear film and before choosing Premier specifically, I’ve actually researched the different films available on the market as well as some of the local installers (here in California) extensively. I’ve read all the positives and negatives I could find about the topic, talked to many people who were both for and against these clear films, and even personally examined cars with films installed by six different installers, one of which was Premier (thanks to members who let me see their cars and shared their experiences with me). I’ve learned that most of the downsides actually resulted from a bad install rather than a bad film (although sometimes it can be due to using really cheap film). As I examined these cars more closely, I noticed many nightmares where the film wrinkled, bubbled, scratched, became un-even, changed colors, started to peel off, and much more. Out of the six vehicles I looked at, only Premier’s install job stood out exceptionally well, as I was truthfully shocked that I could not see or detect the film on the car. The install was near perfect! Afterwards, I examined three additional Premier-covered cars and found all three to be flawless. Then I began searching the forums and could not find a single person across multiple forums (Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Ferrari, Porsche, and Lamborghini) with any negative feedback towards Premier. And before you ask, yes every single person I e-mailed was completely happy with Premier’s products and service performance, which at that point, helped finalize my decision to go with Premier.

Aside from being the best installers out there, Premier’s personnel were very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. After I dropped off my car at Premier, they kindly offered my friend and I a ride to the movie theater and picked us up when the car was done. Before the installation, they went over the whole installation procedure with me and answered all my questions thoroughly. Then after installation, they reviewed and examined every detail of the covered part of my car and also answered all my questions and concerns. Needless to say I was very happy with the level of service I received and therefore went back three additional times for more clear film coverage on my car. Please note that going to Premier is a 4.5 hours (one way) drive for me, but they were definitely worth the drive, and I will go there again for all my future vehicles. Sam, Kris and everybody at Premier, thank you very much for taking good care of my car and providing an incredible product and for your excellent service.

If you truly want the best protective film on the market, and more importantly the best installation possible, I highly recommend Premier Mobile Group. They are by far the best installers of clear protective film (at least here in California), and they do warranty their work for life. Please take the time to look at their install job versus others and I am confident you will reach the same conclusion. Also, if anybody would like to personally look at my car, they are more than welcomed to do so (please e-mail me).

Here are some pictures of the film-covered parts of my car:










































And a few pictures with my friend's car......

Do you know what kind of film they use? I can't get to Cali to get this done but would like to know what products they use. It looks great! I can't even see any lines where it stops.

Looks great A clear bra on a black car is a must! I assume you with with the VentureShield film?

When you say "entire front", do you mean you had the entire hood custom wrapped?

And yes, Premier is a well respected company. In the end I chose to go with Aerotect since they are a great company as well, and local to me in So. Cal., just in case any issues arise.

Oh, one more thing. Your E63 looks awesome.

You can't see the lines because I had them cover the whole hood

They use venture film (very awsome product). They do a lot of research and select their products carefully. Sometimes they fly to the east-coast and do installations there. They've done petty much all exotic and super cars including Bugatti, SLR, MC-12, Enzo, Carrera GT, CLK Black Series, etc....

I'm getting mine done tomorrow at Premier. I don't know if I can afford the entire hood being covered...but we'll see.

Looks awesome and I'm so glad to hear your review...one day before my appointment... how funny.

I could vouch on their work also.... I sent all of my cars to them. They also do a very good job installing tints. Lifetime warranty against bubbling, fading, peeling, etc. Plus, like mb_forever said, they took some time explaining every single questions you have.... you never feel rushed.

they did my car as well, and it was excellent. Although, I've gotten some dirt and discoloring on the edges, but I sort of expected it.

Thanks......

The whole front-end is covered including front bumper, headlights, fog lights, hood, and fenders. Also the trunk, spoiler and rear bumper.

I realized later that fenders was an over-kill since they're not exposed to much danger from the road being on the side of the car, but the front bumper and hood is a MUST.....

+1 on Premier. They did mine when I got the car back in August. It was a must have especially considering how easy the paint chips and how many trucks there are on Bay Area highways and roads.

I love the fully covered look, but I got my hood covered up to the vents on the hood, and it is still pretty difficult to see. The front bumper, all lights, and side mirrors are completly invisible and one can only tell it is there is you run your finger along the edge.
