Anyone interested in CLEAR BRA?

Swoop · 11-09-2007, 02:11 PM

I can get us a deal on a clear bra installation for $875 for the 1st 7 or so people that want to get it done. The guy who does it has done over 50 cars for us in the past 6 months and every time it has been perfect.

Not sure what the average price for clear bra installation is...but 875 seems a little steep swoop?

Swoop · 11-09-2007, 02:57 PM

I think we charge $1300 plus for it.....still steep for my blood tho

Spool · 11-09-2007, 03:07 PM

Shit, I always thought this was like 400 bucks or so to get these done...

If you are paying more then $700, you are getting ripped off! I use to own a UltraShield dealership, and we would do the 335i for less then $600. Film and cut charges run you about $150 to $175. Look at the type of profit people are making for a couple hours of work.

I agree that price is too high. I paid $600 for mine and $500 or my X5. For that price I assume it covers the 1/3 of the hood, entire front bumper, both side mirrors, and headlights (I would only cover paint).
If they are wrapping the edges for a more 'seamless' look then it does cost more b/c they won't use the pre-cut kit, but I don't think its worth it IMO.

I agree, I'm not one who needs it nor do I really want the stuff. I always thought it was little too expensive, plus I don't commute a whole lot. Regardless, he doesn't use pre-cut stuff and does it all by hand. Lotta work, but you're right, the per hour profit is ridiculous.

Depends on who will wear it.

LEDZEP · 11-09-2007, 07:21 PM

Yeah, that is still pretty pricey. Mine was around $500 installed - 3M film, extended coverage, even headlights and fog lights.

Talk to Raja. He does very nice work at a fair price.
