Default Clear Bra Installer

Looking for a recommendation on a qualified EXCELLENT installer for a 3M clear bra installation in the Rochester, NY area if necessary willing to travel 75 miles or so. If anyone has experience with the Tint Shop in Rochester I would also appreciate some feedback on their work.
Thank you.

I am also thinking of this- did you get one?

Most of the guys in the NE section are bra REMOVERS. If it's clear, they might let it stay.

For what it's worth, the Xpel kit comes with a great DIY video. My C5 kit worked out great. I don't know anything about the quality of the work at the tint shop, but I left there in '04 when they wouldn't give me a firm quote. When I went there it seemed like it was full of tuner guys who didn't like seeing an American car pull up. Hopefully that's changed for the better.

I do not recommend doing the install yourself. It is much more difficult than it looks and you will end up wasting a few hundred dollars by messing up your kit. I have been installing for 4 years and it takes a long time to get good at it... unless you really do not care about the final outcome.
