Default New paint, clear bra, rear end collision fixed.

Got the Clear Bra installed today after the paint cured from a rear end collision repair and got them to fix some bad spots and chips. I got the entire front end, 24 inches up the hood, the mirrors, and the wheel wells behind the tires. It looks great now and they say after 3 days of curing in the Sun it will be even more invisible; and it's a lot cheaper than paint repair. Which I just had done due to a rear end hit.

The did a great job, for a very reasonable price and I shopped around, they use different types of film for different areas and explain it all to you. The owner is a car guy and understands our type. I highly recommend them.




Honestly the C6 is one of the best looking modern sports car designs out there. I truly love it and I'm great full to be an American and be materially sound. Life is short, live it.

I got the same coverage on mine. What film did they use? Did he custom cut pieces on the car?

You may want to get the wheel well infront of the rear tire done too. I had that done b/c the rocks definitely hit there.

They did custom pull and stretch then heat, then cut. They used a tougher film from some German company on the nose, mirrors and wheel wells, and a perfectly clear piece on the hood and lights. They don't use 3M anymore.

That's what mine did too. I was nervous as hell when he pulled out the exacto knife.

Was the clear bra called Haartz? They are a german company, their line is called Defendzall or something like that. That's what I got on mine too. Installer said it lasted longer than 3m.
