Does the adhesive have any adverse effect on your paint/clear coat in extreme temperatures? Also, if you already have some rock chips when you apply the clear bra, when you take it off, does it peel paint off too?

 

I would like to know as well, I just bought my TL and I will be installing the clear bra at the end of the month.

 

no it does not, I have had it installed for 6 months now and nothing, its great. I just got my oil changed and when I took it to the dealer they were surprised of how good it looks.

I don't know about the paint peeling since I just got my car recently.

Make sure you do not buy these kits on eBay. Make sure to go to a place that professionally installs them!!!!!!

 

i doubt it would peal the paint ... they would probably heat it up a lot so it would be very ez to remove before pulling it off ...

 

A couple months ago I removed the self installed clear bra on my 7 year old Passat prior to selling it - was tough to pull off but no damage to the underlying paint. Amazing how many marks and gouges were on the bra, but the paint was pristine. I installed the bra a couple days after buying the Passat. Hope the bra on the TL works as well. Recommend the guy on eBay - chipman or something like that.

 

Sounds good. Thanks for the info. Just curious, what are you guys paying for the complete clear bra (front fascia, partial hood, mirrors? etc)?

 

$500 for me.

 

probably will cost you around 600ish dollars

 

If you install it yourself around $80 without the bumper, maybe $175 if you include the bumper. The TL hood is pretty tough, but I was pleased with the results. The bumper looks really hard to do. The lighter colors, like silver or white, are more forgiving if you make small mistakes.

 

$600 installed, for full front bumper, headlights, fog lights, hood, fenders, and side mirrors. Make sure it is 3m take also! Thats the best!

 

Chipgardman sold me a great product on ebay. I installed it myself and it came out really good IMO, I made a thread on here but no one seemed too interested

 

What's thelink toyour thread?

 

I have the chip guard (clear bra) installed. I have WDP, Turned a yellowish color, wish I didn't have it installed.

 

What brand was your film? Or is "chip guard" a brand? I haven't heard any negative feedback regarding the 3M film.

 

Yellow? I hope not, chipqardman is 3M film

Oh here is the link. I have since trimmed the film that overlapped the acura lettering and stuff

 

When I peeled the 3M film off my 7 year old Passat it was still clear. Chipgardman does use 3M.

 

it is 3M posted pics here.

clearbra is great..i had it on my TSX and now on my TL-S(both white)
it's a bit pricey but worth it...mine comes with a lifetime warranty..the only thing it doesn't cover is if you get into an accident...
clay bar & wax it like you would the rest of the car...

 

$600 professionally installed. Worth every penny. On a DMM from most distances and angles you can't even see it.
