Know any good clear bra installer in nyc ?

I got a quote for the RDX hood + fender + 2 mirrors @ 330, which includes a 15% discount. This is my usual guy that I go to.. I remember my last car was only like 225 total at the same place so price went up a lot.

The quote you're getting is much lower than a typical high-quality installation, which seems to run closer to $800 (and sometimes significantly more) according to my research. I'd be wary about putting something so cheap on so nice a car. It's worth doing a lot of Internet research before committing.

A good installation takes many hours, and the a high quality clear bra can cost several hundred dollars just for materials. Hence a project can hit $800 very quickly.

For someone to do it for $200 or $300 it would have to be a very cheap-quality bra and a half-a**ed installation. Just my two cents!

Actually this place has been around for over 12 years, my first car there was a 2002 vw golf, 2nd was a 2005 tsx. So my cars have been fine for over 10yr (vw) and 7yr (tsx). This isn't a full bumper install, its just the hood area and the fender which are 2 little pieces with mirror. I just thought things would get cheaper with time.. if that price seems cheap Ill just swing on back there again

Don't forget to clear bra the headlights for UV protection and prevent hazing. I used 3M clear bra on both my 06 TSX and 08 RDX and both headlights are still clear compared to a lot cars around the same age I see in the parking lot at work.
