Saved by Clear Bra!

ccarbajal08 · 02-11-2008, 01:34 AM

Saturday night, I was traveling south on 5, about 70 mph. All of a sudden, I see a tire in front of me and I hit it full speed! I pulled over to inspect the damage and my entire front lip was tore up! I took it to the shop the next morning and they had good news for me: the VentureShield took the impact. So, they removed it, reapplied a new one, and I was out in 45 mins! I'm happy! That's all.

PhoR11 · 02-11-2008, 02:55 PM

Do you think she would take it the wrong way if I bought my friend one of these for her birthday?

(juvenile jokes are my specialty)

You got lucky, but you know what they say, it's not "IF" it's "WHEN"

What did you see that was tore up if it wasnt your front lip? How did you not see that it was not damaged in the morning?

I would get a clear bra but 350 is too much money for me lol

Well there's a reason they call it "clear". =)

Usually all you can see is the line from where it stops. If it bugs you that much, get the whole hood done. Either way, a line looks a lot better than rock chips, bug damage, and sand blasting. Obviously it looks much better than metal ladders and tires too!

This is exactly why my rep always tells me to be sure to call it "Paint Protection Film", because he said it hasn't happened yet but one day someone is going to sue someone because they were offended by "clear bra".

Prices are very regional and are also based on the skill of the installer.

Find a Professional Installer

VentureShield.com Dealer Locator

XPEL Technologies Corp.: United States and Canada Dealer Locator

This is not a product/service that you want to find the cheapest guy in the yellow pages. You want to know that provide quality service and install.

Lastly, stick with a good brand. If you've never heard of it before, chances are you don't want it. Here's a pic of XPEL's new film, 3M, and a generic brand. If you look at the reflection of the light you can see the orange peel difference.
