Clear bra on a lip?

How hard is it to clear bra a lip yourself? And where do I buy the material?

It is not hard to apply a clear bra. Check out my DIY over at the 1addicts page...

I bought my kit thru my local bmw dealer. I suppose anyone who sells 3M products could get the film for you.

I have to imagine it only running about 100-150 for the bottom lip at most! Might save yourself the trouble...unless youre a hands on type of guy! But going with a lip protection is a very smart idea!

I got my aero lip clear bra'd. It is a pretty easy job for them to do, especially when it is off the car. I would not attempt it myself though.

also, you should look at venturesheild film. the regular 3m film has an orange peel effect to it.
