Lookng for clear bra installer in Chicago area

tt2017 · 11-11-2008, 07:39 PM

I am looking for a clear bra installer in the Chicago area, preferably in the west suburbs if possible. I am from the Quad Cities area (IA-IL border) off of I-88. We only have one installer locally and he only does a couple cars a year. Hoping to get some quotes from a good installers. Can anyone from the area make a recommendation? Thanks!

He did a fine job on my 335: bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, and lights. He does quality work and uses good stuff!

Tim, the "plastic surgeon"...uses the best clearbra, Venture Sheild, and is located in Burr Ridge. PM me for his number if you're interested.

I've got an appointment with him for this Saturday. He quoted me $500 for bumper, fenders, 18" hood covering and side mirrors. He's also doing the headlights for a few extra bucks.

I'll try to post pics this weekend.

Just a quick update - Adam installed the clear bra this weekend and I have to commend him on doing a fantastic job. Everything came out flawlessly and I can now drive more confidently on the highway, no longer weary of road debris.

I highly recommend Adam for anyone in the Chicago area considering getting a clear bra put on. He did all of the work himself (none of the old bait-and-switch tactics I've seen at other places), he was finished exactly when he said he would be, and he refused to accept a tip that I offered him

pinchycm · 10-07-2009, 10:52 AM

Anyone know if Adam is still there?

How much did this stuff cost for you guys? I do so much highway driving, and I'm pretty sure the pretty montego blue paint won't last the winter with all that salt and road debris.

noolag · 10-07-2009, 01:50 PM

i do not recall how much it was for my install, give him a buzz, he will take care of you

guy in schuamburg who works with nino (tinting guy) said he does it for 200 bucks.
if your interested just google umbra tinting and hes at the schuamburg location. he moved from the arlington heights one

noolag · 10-07-2009, 06:56 PM

Good materials alone are more money than that!

So it turns out my coworker used Umbra and he was very pleased as well. Looks like I'm going to use Brian. Will report back with results.
