Clear bra / ceramic coating installers
It's been awhile but I am contemplating on getting back in a twin, preferably the 2017+.
I want to get the car protected with clear bra and ceramic coated. So I'm looking for suggestions to which shop does an amazing quality. I'm in the Montgomery County area but don't mind to travel. I'm also looking at total cost for full front protection and coating. Thanks! |

Hi,
I had front bumper, full hood, side mirrors, and full front quarter panels done just a few weeks ago at Absolute Perfection in Sykesville. They use the LLumar films. I'm pleased with the installation - no imperfections that I could see and no issues so far. They wrapped the film around the edges of the hood, so you don't see the edges of the film there. I was only disappointed by one thing. They have a machine that cuts a pre-defined pattern from a sheet of film (rather than trimming during the installation, which I think some other shops do but I'm not sure), and the pattern for the bumper of the 2018 BRZ is actually in 3 separate pieces because of the complex shapes involved - so you see some seams between the pieces if you look really close. Also the fitment around the headlights is not as close as I would have liked. I was quite bummed by this when I first picked up the car but to be honest had completely forgotten about it until I read your post - so it is not noticeable at all unless you are looking closely. Paid about $1k. They do ceramic coating and window tinting also but I didn't get quotes. There is a place in Ellicott City that is highly rated that uses the XPEL films, but they were significantly more expensive. |
