Clearshield Bra

I saw this today on a white Subaru SUV and it looked quite nice. I was wondering if anybody had put this on their RDX and could offer any comments. I am wondering where I can get this done professionally and if the edge lines will show on a blue backdrop....

Any opinions or experiences???

I have the XPEL cut pattern. No complaints. It uses the 3M material.

Clearshield uses the Bekaert film from Europe. Probably no different.

What you should look for is the pattern, how many pieces there are, and how "deep" it goes. I selected the Xpel pattern because it had a much deeper cut, more protection against stone chips. Mine is on black. If you look closely, you can see it. In certain light you can see the line, but you need to be within 3 feet to see it clearly, otherwise, unless the light is coming from a certain angle, catching the edge, you cannot really see it.

Full disclosure: Mine is on an RL, and Xpel had more protection. Your best bet is to check the patterns out on line.

If you want a good deal in DC Metro, I have Clearshield contact I learned about in my searches.

By the way, Clearshield tends to be about half the price of Xpel, installed, in this area.

You have to find out if a company has a laser cut pattern for the rear. Search the web.

If not, you have to get an installer that can hand cut the pattern. Depends on how much coverage you want.

Or you can go a totally different route like the bumper bib
