Default Clear bra install?

I did a search on clear bra installs but the most recent post is over a year old. I just got a new ZO6/ZO7 and want to have the clear bra installed but don't know who to use. Can someone point me in the right direction with someone they have used in the Portland/Vancouver area with good results? I do travel up to the Seattle area so I'm not opposed to having it done up there if it's worth the trip.

Thanks,

Bill

If you're up to a drive further north, check with Joe (NW94Z). Plenty of forum member testimonials, a great guy, and a Z owner himself.

I was at Griot's a week ago and their sales rep was looking at my car. He was very impressed with Joe's work.

Joe can also do colors, although you already have a haloed look (black top)

John... just a little info regarding your post. Suntek also has a self healing topcoat which works exceptionaly well. They dont advertise it but it works very well. You might contact them and get a sample.

Also, look into doing coverage to places you might not think about. On mine of course the Nose & Mirrors. But also the Rocker Panels including behind the Brake Scoop, behind each wheel, inside on the Door Sills and in the Door Handle where a Finger Nail could scratch.

Need to have my Nose and Mirrors re-done (from '04), wonder what the cost would be?
