Yes, and yes.

my question is, if you put a clear bra on bumper, hood, mirrors and front quarter panels like Im going to do , would the rest of the car not be as shiny so it would look weird or would it not be noticeable ?

we have a clear bra on our SI. Its a daily driver on the highway with trucks and such. hazing and markings will vary upon where you drive and how much. The clear bra was recently replaced when we had a paint recall performed on the hood only. You can definantley see a difference in the bumper vs the hood. Regardless, when the bra was peeled, the paint looked brand new. If you plan to keep the car a long time, I would go for the clear bra if you can afford it. I have not put any on my vette as its typically not driven very far or on the highway.

so does the area with clear bra shinier than the areas of car without bra? Is it noticeable to the human eye or do you have to stare are different areas of car to notice change in the shine?

as long as it is kept clean you really cant see it if everything is clean. The second you get some wax on the edge of it you will see it. I think the color of the paint makes a big difference too. Our SI is black. I have some picture from when i polished the whole car. You can see the line on the hood barely. But even through the bra on ours, the shine was still apparent.

I tend to agree, but............ The vehicle I am interested in is an exterior/interior combination that does not come onto the 'market' much. There is nothing close to me that comes close to what I am desiring. I have received some endorsements from a member or two who have said the 'dealer' is a good one. The vehicle is about 12 'driving' hours away. But as you say one is/could be a 'chancy' situation. Sooooooooooo, I may not commit in pursing it. But it is a really nice looking vehicle?????

I guess I do not understand your response?(But it's a 1LT, nonGS)

Not that I mentioned it but it is a 3LT Crystal Red/Kalahari.

I have my entire car covered in Sun-Tek PPF and swear by it. The car looks better than it did when I picked it up at the Dealership.

The clear wrap will show if not done on the entire hood or other part. You can see the edge, and eventually, that sticky edge collects dirt and is difficult to clean.
The previous owner of mine had it covered 100% bumper to bumper, and it wraps around the edges so it's hard to tell it's on there.
He then had a ceramic coating installed on top of the wrap. Looks good to me. Total cost approx. $7k.
Mine is also Suntek PPF.
