Default New A4 - To Clear Bra or Not

Hi All,

I just picked up my new A$ from the dealer this evening. He mentioned the Autobahnd Clear Bra for $695.

I have a few questions.

1. Is this a worthwhile purchase?

2. Would I be better off using a different type of clear bra (e.g. xpel or ventureshield) and not going through the dealer?

3. For residents of Southeastern MA, who would you recommend for a clear bra installer?

4. What is a fair price for a good clear bra?

Thanks in advance.

Bill

Yes, worth it, but perhaps that price is a bit steep. If they did flawless work, the coverage was comprehensive and willing to redo it if it's not, the I'd pay that.

Agreed. That is a bit steep. This link might help. When I bought my A4 the dealer wanted to sell me the Clear Bra and I declined because of the price. If I found this site when my car was brand new, I probably would of looked into pricing and the DIY difficulty.

I paid that and it was worth it. They covered areas I never would have thought of. Door edges, under door handles, top of rear bumper to protect from luggage, rocker panels to name a few. After 18 months still looks perfect.
