custom job for now probably, any reputable place should be able to put and stretch the pieces i am not sure if the Xpel website list the custom machined cuts yet or not

I had an XPEL clear bra put on mine last week. I have bubbles on my lower front bumper due to the angles; I have already taken it back once and have to go in again. The pictures below are from two different times.

:iagree:
That's not what I would expect!
Guess I will not be getting a clear bra!

Those bubbles are where the installer did not heat the film down. The C7 is a much easier car to install film on than the C6. Find a good installer and you wont have any issues.

Are you looking to buy one for a self install or are you looking to get one installed? We have had the kits for a while now.

I had one installed last week by speed film Roswell Ga. X-pel David cuts his patterns from roll stock, and does a great job

Has anyone had the Xpel installed while getting museum delivery?

It is an option I am considering, and while more expensive it appears, at least I'll have some protection on the car for the drive home, especially this time of year.

Any recommendations near Greenville SC? Or Greenwood SC?

GM will be releasing a clear bra product for the C7 available as a Genuine Corvette Accessory (GCA) product and it will be available via the dealer network. You will likely be able to find it through the GM Accessory Zone website when available.

I had a 1/4 clear bra installed at my dealership. It covers the nose of the Stingray (up to the hood).

Had a clear bra put on about 2 weeks ago using the Xpel. Did front nose, 24" up on the hood, mirrors, and rocker panels. The installer did an flawless job. :D

I had museum delivery oct 21. At that time they were not able to do a clear bra, because they were too busy with deliveries. That may have now changed.

I used the official XPEL dealer in Houston. If they don't know who will. :D

Is 30 days a reasonable time to wait before installing xpel due to paint curing? Going to do front end wrap on AW.

My dealer uses a local installer who used a 3M product, I am very satisfied with it and these guys know what they are doing. 300 miles on vin #368 and so far no problems with my car that was in Nashville for four weeks. Mike
