A good price is around $400 for each tinting and clear bra...depending how much you get done.

 

Hey Rachael,

I see that you are in OC. I am in LA, I use a tint place called A Pro tint on SM blvd at bundy. They do excellent work. As for clear bra, I used sticker city in Van Nuys. Eric also did an excellent job. The cost for tint is 229 and I paid 600 for clear bra that covers above the scoop on my car, all of my lights and my mirrors. I have seen clear bra for as low as 450-500. I used the invishield one.

 

i know my co-worker went to star shield armour for his clearbra. It's a high quality clear bra but i don't know how much he paid tho... they're located inland i believe

 

Made in the Shade in Cypress is very good for tinting. They did the tint on my civic 8 years ago and it has yet to peel, crack, or bubble! They use only the best tint! it got me 350 to black out my hatch and rear side windows and for a 30% tint on my front side windows.

 

I was very happy with Songs Tint Master 323.732-9100
2464 W. Washington Blvd - Los Angeles, CA 90018

They are one only a couple Huper Optic dealers. I love the heat rejection of the huper, and it's light enough to looks factory. all 6 windows was about $700+.

Good luck.

 

I'm getting my MINI within the week...
I would like to know if anyone knows of any great tint shops in the Pasadena area???

thanks,
Allen

 

There's a good place here in Monterey Park on Valley.

 

I used SoCal Pro Tint in cerritos. I got 35% charcoal grey.

If you go there, look for a PW/B parked nearby, thats mine.

check my gallery to see the tint.

 

I just had a clear bra installed on my car yesterday. When I looked at it today, I noticed a couple of spots where it looked like there were little air bubbles. It also looks like a cople of places are slightly creased. Is that normal? Is that something that will go away after it is on for a few days?

 

once the sun hits it for awhile it should go away.

 

I just had a Clear Bra put on my Porsche and I used Elite Clear Bra in Huntington Beach. They gave me a really price and do really good work. I've actually taken all my cars to them for the past 6 or 7 years and they have given me great service and have always stood behind there work. On my last car I had them put the new Venturetape film and it's the clearest film out as of now. They also offer a full wraped front end with little to no seams and the other package is the pre-designed patterns which are the best pattern design out (Xpel Design and Proform Design). I had the full wrap done to my front end and it looks amazing people don't even know I have anything on my car. I'm sure you can find all there info on their website and you'll want to work with Craig he's the Owner and is very helpful. Check them out www.eliteclearbra.com Or 714-580-2576. I know that they do all the work for the Newport Beach Auto Center which is the Audi, Bentley, And Porsche Dealerships.

Their the best and that's a FACT

I'll post some pics of my car soon..

 

im live 5 minits from sticker city i think they are too over priced they wanted 30-400 just to install viper strips
