Has anyone used 3M clear shield or VentureShield on their car? Can anyone recommend an installer in Denton, DFW Tx area.
Thanks

Got one on our Saturn Sky Redline.... ABSOLUTELY recommend it! As a matter of fact, any nice car I buy in the future this will be a no brainer to have it put on...

There's a guy that works out of that Regency Conversion Shop near Keller, south off you on the west side of 35. Go to 3M's site and search for a local installer and he should come up. He did my car 3 years ago and it's been great.

Will the clear bra compromise any decals that are presently on the front bumper,should you have to remove it at a later date?

Decals on the front bumper? Looks like you drive a Indy pace car....they have decals on the front facia?

And I'm not sure why you would want to take off a clear bra once its on. Depending on how much you get covered its not cheap. I think to cover the front facia, some of the hood, and maybe the mirrors would cost between $500-$700. Just taking a guess of course cause every installer is different.

I will say that if you do get it done to be sure and clean it often. I used to detail cars and you would be amazed at the stuff that doesn't come off the clear bras (bugs mainly).

I am curious to what you mean by compromise. I have a clear bra and vinyl graphics business. I have on numerous occasions applied clear bra over the decal/vinyl and never had any issues. But without going any further I need to know some details about your situation.

I love my clear bra! I have one installed on my Jeep and it's great.

I do agree with the staining though. I haven't had too many problems with bugs but I did get some mud on there that left some spots, but they are only barely visible at certain angles. Keeping it waxed with the rest of the vehicle seems to help some as well.
