3M clear bra dealer on ebay

becker800 · 08-14-2008, 08:31 AM

Has anyone bought from this dealer on ebay for a 335i coupe clear bra?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...id=p2759.l1259

Prices seem pretty reasonable and good feedback, was just wondering if someone else has gotten from there.

Thanks

I wouldn't by this off Ebay, nor would I attempt to install it myself. I'm a fan of the clear bra, but I think it's important to use a professional installer.

Just my 2 cents...

+1. I don't know how many people have come to me after trying to install it them selves.

hmm, I wonder if it could be bought on ebay and taken to an installer.

And I know this is a shot in the dark, but does anyone know of a good installer in the Central or South Florida area.

IMO Just pay a professional to do it with the materials that they are familiar with. Most of the cost of a clear bra is the installation. Clear bra installers gotta eat too!

Installation of a clear bra is tough. My dad has owned a sign shop for 30 years. He is very experienced with large decals. I added a front aero lip on my car and got the correct pieces from ventureshield. I couldn't use the original installer because he was 300 mi away. We had a tough time with just doing the aero lip. It is a very unforgiving material. we eventually got it but it is not perfect. It didn't really matter to me because it is down so low.

I have learned to respect people at their job and pay them accordingly. Good people make certain jobs look easy until you try them yourself.

Just get it done - I have tried it myself with good results, but it was stressfull and took forever and if you even screw it up a little, then it would be cheaper to have just had it done to begin with. The materials usually are about $300 (bavauto gets that much) and you can usually get it installed for another 150 and it will be perfect!
