Default anyone that has had the 3m clear bra installed...

Have you had it for long? Does it eventually start to peel? Overall how does it look and would you do it again?

Default On my B6 & now my B7...

On my B6, I had it on for most of the time I owned it.
Peel? No peeling, whatsoever.
Looks great & Yes.

On my B7...
Same answers as above.
But the install on my B7 is even better.
Custom cutlines were made near the hood/fender to hide lines. This time around, the install is def. primo.

Only suggestion; Don't compromise the installation.

Default Yup, on my B7 S4 MY06

Got it from the dealer on delivery...works great for all the rocks here on the road!
I go to a do-it-urself high pressure wash and it hasn't peeled in the least...i'm very impressed.
Go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Default can you see it on my sig pic?

Enough said. I have had it for plenty long enough to know that your hood will dent before the paint chips. Yes, I have a rather large dent (maybe a quarter of an inch in diameter) from a pebble or stone, and the paint did NOT chip. the 3m has done wonders for my sanity especially with the mountain passes and trips to tahoe......

I had the installer protect the headlights, door handle grooves, sideview mirrors and above the front fenders as well.

Default Bought my '05.5 at the end of Nov 06. Currently pushing 20.5k miles.....

and I'm betting my clear bra was installed when the car was new. There's a few places where you can tell at some of the seams, but you really need to be looking for it.

I had it on my 05.5 Arctic, and it looked like hell after 1 year (turned yellow), and bubbling

I installed mine 2 1/2 yrs ago. No peeling, no 'discoloration', well worth the $$$.

Default installer suggestions

is there a better place to look for a reputable installer? Is the dealer the place to go or not?

Default Mine has been on for approx. 7 months and no problem at all.

I would check and make sure that when they are preparing your bumper that the pre-cut film has the lower tow hitch cutout. Mine wasn't pre-cut with the laser and the installer had to do it free handed. He did pretty good job but it's a little jagged compared to the rest.


Quick Reply: anyone that has had the 3m clear bra installed...
