Clear Bra

Hey everyone, I've got a car due into PDX in 3-4 weeks and am curious if anyone has experience with any of the installers in either PDX or SEA?

Thanks,
Mark

I had mine done at [SIZE=-1]www.clearbraoregon.com and have had no problems at all. They were reasonable and timely on the install.

We had ours done before we took if from the dealer. Were in a area with lots of trucks and rocks. Its a must for us. Not sure if we would do it if we lived in the city. It really makes cleaning and waxing harder.

Not a bad idea. Rasmussen farms it out to contractors and ends up costing about double....but if it fits into your payment then its a choice to make.

Thanks. Def don't like the idea of the dealer markup. I'll give clearbraoregona a call. Anyone in Seattle?

Has anyone clear bra'd their door panels and, if so, does it protect against door dings?

Nothing is going to protect from "dings". Even though you might pay more from the dealer....it helps when three years down the road if you have an issue with the mask peeling or yellowing the dealership will still be there..If the bra company you used is out of business your stuck.

We had the material put on my wifes 05 MCSa. It does help quite a bit, she parks it in a big parking lot all day long and I'm sure it has saved a lot of scratches.

When my 07 comes arrives in August I'm having it put on mine as well, including the doors.

My dad recently got a clear bra put on his 2006 GTO by Ultimate Auto Skin. If anyone here in the northwest goes to Pacific Raceways frequently, then the name should sound familiar. The guy will come out to your house and put it on, and if any blemishes do appear after the bra has settled in, he'll fix them for free on the track days he's out there on. Most people who go to the track a lot have his clear bra put on.

His name is Matt Rutherford and his number is 425-328-6846.
