Clear Bra! The best thing you can do for your 86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

GhostShield · 03-23-2014, 04:35 PM

What's up guys my names Tyler I install paint protection film for a living. I'm not gunna discuss our company or pricing because I don't wanna piss off the admin again haha.

I just wanna show off the bad ass work I do. And help educate you guys on detailing and clear bra.

First off let's talk film manufactures. XPEL and Suntek are the only way to go, both are awesome films and great companies to work with that really stand by their product. 3m/Venture suck, non topcoated and turn to shit quickly over the years. Also they don't stand behind they're product.

Not gunna discuss the other film manufactures because they all kinda suck to haha. XPEL and Suntek is where it at!

Now I see a lot of you guys asking "is a clear bra worth it" or what ever blah blah blah! Simple answer, DUH it's worth it!!! Do you like rock chips? Cuz I don't. As far as coverage, at the minimal id say a partial hood and fenders, bumper, mirrors and lights. Yes you can cover headlights with PPF and it will stop them from hazing. A lot of you don't like the look of a partial hood so buck up and get the whole front end wrapped! It's worth it no matter What you pay. If your a real baller then wrap the whole car like I have.

Just remember, re paints are never the same. Factory paint is the best paint. I don't give a shit if chip foose painted the car, the paint will never be adhered to the surface as well as factory paint! Sooo protect it with PPF!

Opticoat and all these stupid sealers you guys buy into don't do shit! They are gone off the surface of the paint after a few washes. Your best bet is waxing the paint regularly and often. I usually wax every other wash. It's like lotion for your paint.

Onto me and my car. This is my first brand new car I've purchased 100% on my own. I'm anal as hell with my cars so I wanted to protect the whole car and really save my paint. I've been installing for 6 years and took 2nd place at xpels installation competition, and I don't even install XPEL 95% of the time. Sent the Canadians packin back to canadia ehh along with a Russian, some Japanese dudes and of course multiple USA installers. Some guy from Alaska beat me. This year it's on like donkey kong Alaska!

So here's some pics of my car! Full wrapped!

My iPhones lagging on my photo bucket so pics to come soon.

How much does a clear bra usually cost?

GhostShield · 03-23-2014, 06:11 PM

Like I said, I don't wanna talk pricing and piss off the admin again. But just google search installers in your area. Ask what film they use, ask if they personally warranty Their work against blemishes in their install you might not like

GhostShield · 03-23-2014, 06:13 PM

I see your in canada. Call Thompson Graphics in Calgary. They are one of the best in canada. They will for sure be able to help you find an installer. Or xpels website has a dealer locater feature and you can find installers on there.

GhostShield · 03-23-2014, 10:06 PM

I know guys I'm not crazy about my camo but I just had scrap from a job and was messing around with it. I hate how the 86 badge is molded into that plastic piece. I'm all about badge less. I HATE badges. Hate hate hate them! If you don't know the car just by the looks and lines then you aren't a car guy and don't need to know my car. Probably gunna re wrap the 86 badge plate in carbon fibre film soon.
I'm a redneck at heart tho so I like letting the local liberals and chumps this cars driven by a gun toating bad ass haha
