Default Anyone using the clear bra?

I cant remember the manufacturers name but I know that there are a few of them. The film that is applied is a 3M film. I'm thinking of getting it for my car. Any input on performance / looks is appreciated.

Have it on all my cars. I can't imagine not having it. In the 3 wks it took my installer to get the pattern for the 04, the front end sustained some serious paint damage. Since I have had the film (6 months) I have had no damage.

Performance= how it performs.. does it really last 3+ years? Is it easy to remove? Wasable to the point it doesn't get damaged/scratched etc..
Thanks for the input so far!

I have it on my car. I will never buy another car *without* it again. It's the best money I've spent to protect the car. I've had the car 2 years, and the front end still looks brand new. I have the 3M Scotchcal on mine.

Nice pic. Cant even tell that it is on there. How much did you pay for your installed?
I've had my car two weeks and already have at least 5 paint chips!! California freeways stink!

I've got Invinci-shield (actually 3M Scotchcal) from www.speedfilm.net. The Llumar stuff is supposed to be good also. The main differences between resellers is how the kit is die cut (fewer seam lines are better) and how well it is installed. You must be very patient to install it without wrinkles or bubbles.

autobahnd (sp) $400 installed for the nose and mirrors - IMO a few too many seam cuts but it does protect the frt end
