Clear bra on A-spec front lip?

I have a clear bra on my car and I was wondering if it's possible to put a clear bra on the front lip? If i don't install one then its going to look mismatch in color. Is it worth it?

my dude tailor cut the film for my aspec lip so yes its possible. worth what? $50? sure. 500? no. you have to decide based off how much the aspec lip costs to you and if you care if it gets chipped.

Absolutely. I have a clear bra on my TL-S. No issues at all.

Where did you go to get the clear bra and how much was it for just the front lip?

I know a place in Pleasanton that is highly recommended by many car clubs, Omega Tintwerks.

I got quoted $120 for the lip alone. What a joke. I might do it for $50. Hopefully I can install this weekend.

So was that $1000 worth it in hindsight Lee??

Yup... the installer and custom cut one out, or you can simply do it yourself.

I had my clear bra done by Paint Impact Technologies (PIT) in Santa Rosa. They do fantastic work. I had the entire front protected not just the A-Spec front lip. I paid $600 for everything including protection for the side mirrors and headlights.
