Default Clear bra in the Chicago Area

I just had a clear bra installed on my car. The installer, Brian King, cuts everything to fit on the spot. In this way, he gets an EXCELLENT fit and finish.

I had him cover the front bumper, the lights and the mirrors. He was able to apply the material 24" up the hood, and the front fenders to the same point. He also did the rocker panels, and placed some material before and after the wheels to help prevent any chips from rocks thrown off my own wheels.

Brian came out to my house to install the clear bra. He was professional and very highly skilled. It took him just 3 hours to complete all of the above work.

The installation also comes with a 100% lifetime guarantee on the film. So if it ever yellows, or peels he will replace it for free.

I am very happy with the results.

If anyone is interested in the clear bra, call Brian King of "Clear Choice" at 630-615-8732

It is not 3M. Brian does not reccomend (or use) the 3M. He uses the Avery brand film.

I'd prefer not to say in the public forum. I shopped around before I decided to go with "Clear Choice." I found some places that were less expensive, but either they used inferior film, or pre-cut pieces. I also saw where it was offered for MUCH more than I paid, and I am sure there was a LOT of profit in it for the person that was getting the money.

I feel the price was VERY reasonable.

Call Brian for a quote.

I think the price is very reasonable. I didn't say HE didn't want them advertised, I said I didn't want to publicly state what I paid.

Not really no.

You guys are reading WAY too much into this.

I am not, nor do I claim to be an expert on all things clear bra. I had it installed on my car. I was very happy with the service, and the price. So I passed along the contact information for the service I used.

I don't like the pre-cut pieces as I feel as though they make compomises to make the cut out fit the sheet of film, not necessiarly the car. Of the cars I have seen with Clear Bra, I was not happy with the look of the ones that came from a pre-cut kit.

If you would like to talk to an expert about which film is better, or which process is better, perhaps you should call the expert at the number in the first post and ask him. If you are curious about cost for your car, perhaps you should call the person that does the work, and get a quote from him. Again, his number is listed in the first post.
