Figured this belonged in the "Keeping your GTI looking good." category.

Some of these pics hardly show the lines. You'll have to look hard to see it. I'm pleased with the work quality.

Watch this video if you dont know anything about it:

Those clear bras are great and will keep your front end looking great for a long time. Highly Recommended. Is that 3M?

Looks good indeed. I also got the A-pillars, inside the door handle area, and the top of the rear bumper by the hatch door. It is certainly worth the money.

 

[plac]

ya its 3M Scotchbrite or something..


i got the inside of the door handles too.

Looks great! Did you do it yourself or get it done at a shop? If at a shop, who does this stuff? A window tint shop? Thanks............

Hmmmmmm.... Very good Idea. Never thought of doing there.

very cool how much?

The cost for a full laser cut application designed for the car (partial hood, fenders, mirrors, and front bumper) will cost on average 550$ installed.

This from another site, and the guy who did my tint charges something comparable, though I can't remember the exact figure.

Hey guys and gals.. I just got a quote for my fast to get the clear bra installed from 3M and it is going to cost me about 460.00. I went directly to a 3M store here in Miami. They told me the best way for their product to be installed and guarrantteed is to get it directly from them. The actually have quite a few stores nation wide. Highly recommended to check them out.

I'm getting my GTI done up in the morning with Clear bra. I'll post some pics once it's finished.

Has anyone done it themselves?

My kit just came in ;D

I've done headlamps/foglamps before, but I'm a lil paranoid about screwing it up...

 

[drkside]

did anyone install this clear bra them self on their car? You can get the 3M kit on eBay for a sweet price.

It's do-able, but it's a bitch and takes two people, and if you screw up your sorta SOL. The biggest challenge are the curves on the hood. If you want it done right there is a place in Walnut Creek that did mine.

Exactly^^^. I've done headlamps/foglamps and mirrors before but the hood is a B*TCH!

Drkside- what side of the bay are you on?

I'd show you pix- but it's clear

The owner at Griffin didn't even notice it on when he (standing next to the car) said I really should get a clear bra ;D

im getting venture shield on my gti tommorrow from a guy that my dad knows, im getting it full body and headlights

and might i ask what might be the point of doing the inside of the door handle?

It's an area that is prone to scratches from fingernails.

 

[UnitedGrayNH]

What are the other front end cover options? $500 might be too much for me, and I'm having trouble finding traditional bras for the MKV on the internet.

 

[mofo529]

I have the 3m clear bra, it cost me $300.00 installed, but I got it done at cost through the dealership I worked for (normally around $400-$500)
