3M Clear Bra

I am looking for a local shop ( as in close to Rhode Island) to purchase or install a 3M clear bra.

At least around boston, the company that the MINI dealerships use is Autobahnd. They will go to any decent garage to do the install. For example Sublime has them there all the time (and may be able to get you a discount). They will also do it at your dealer.

As there are usually a few competing companies in each metro area, the question to ask is which installer, not where to get it. Autobahnd does a stellar job and I know dozens who have their clearbra and are very happy with it.

Diy'd the front bumper. We followed the instruction, kept everything wet, used a hair dryer to keep it pliable and 45 minutes later we were finished-including set up time. Saved $$$ and had fun doing it. Once you get over the intimidation factor , it's easy . IMO

Cool. What vendor / product did you install?

I purchased the 3M Aerogard from invisiblemask.com.

I did mine over the weekend. It was not easy, and I did not have fun. but it's done. (I forgot about the hair dryer).
