Default Update on clear bra

Thank you for the many posts this week. I dropped off the C5 to get the XPEL clear bra installed. I am doing the complete hood , front fender's, rockers and 1/2 panels of rear quarter .

It has been a long time since I had a clear bra installed . Is it common to have slight gaps on the seem edges because of the material??

Let me know Thanks

Look to make sure they got the curved places done correctly, especially on the front nose openings. If not done right, dirt will get under the curved places. Kind of hard to explain, but if they don't do it right you'll see it after driving for awhile. They seem to have a hard time getting the product to adhere to a sharp curve. It took them a few tries to get mine done to my satisfaction. But once done right, no-one will even be able to know you have it on.
