I started on my clear bra but didn't have a heat gun or extension cord for a hairdryer so I'm gonna wait a month or two for warmer weather.

I have the 3M on mine. Best investment to the exterior. My truck had it's one year birthday last week and the front and the bra still look as perfect as the day I bought it.

Holy crap - the film goes half way up the hood! I'll assume that's just the way it comes though.

Did my headlights in about 45 degree weather...big pain in the a$$ to get the stuff to sit down on the edges, but looks good and protects well.

Here is a pic of my pyrite with a clear bra (2/3 way down):

Tundra body armour/invisi-shield?

I watched the guy do it. You better have a lot of patience, time, garage, and oh yea, patience!

Default Re: Who's installed clear bra

I had it installed on mine back in January, was no way I wanted to do it so I just paid a professional installer to do it. Glad I did to as I wouldn't have had the patience if I messed up. Also came with a 5 yr warranty. Had the headlights and foglights done too. Will be well worth it once those lovebugs come into season....

Default Re: Who's installed clear bra

Mine doesnt cover 1/2 the hood, but its a good 1/4. He did the hood, front quarter panels, front bumper (upper and lower), leading edge of the roof, A pillars and since he had some scrap he did inside my door sills. It definitely takes some patience. He's a pro and it took him about 5 hours.

Love bugs didnt stand a chance against the bra last season. They wiped right off even after a sitting a few days.

Default Re: Who's installed clear bra

I did mine a few weeks ago with the 3M from ebay ... its a pain but its doable ... the only pain is on the sides of the hood since there is those big dips ... I used a hair dryer to get it to stretch a little and stick it better, otherwise I dont think i would have ever got it right.

below are some video's to watch if you are going to attept this. hopefully when I paste them they will work, if not pm me and I will give you the links.
