Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Clear Bra?

Has anyone herd or tried the clear bras for the celica? Was it worth it or not?

I hear they are amazing, but dealers who install the 3M product are few and far between (at least in CT)

My Celi is black, and the pitting from tiny rocks and sand to the front end is simply beyond belief, esp with the bullshit winter we're having. As soon as I hear of a local dealer who installs the clear bra, I'm there!

yeah i hear its worth it. the only downside i've heard so far is taking it off..it'll ruin the paint. but i don't think i'll ever take it off

does it work on aftermarket bumpers?

yeah. the put that on hoods also

theres also custom ones that can be made. check out SunburstCelica's profile. his car is so fucking amazing.

My dad got the 3M put over his entire camry for 500 bucks but we're friends with the manager. Its worked really good so far.

I have the 3M clear bra on my celica, worth every penny & more. My car was absolutely red then I got in a wreck & decided to change color of car to a custom yellow. When car was red I had a lot of chips in paint on both hood & front bumper. Decided if I'm going to get a new paint job I might as well protect it. I'm in the sign business & decided to research & apply to my car. Feel free to ask me any questions or PM me about this amazing product. More than 3 feet away it's invisible, also protects from tree sap, bug splats & bird droppings. Won't yellow, completely removable without damage to paint, 8 year durability & can withstand rocks up to 1/4" @60mph. I've had this product on my car for 2 years & not one chip in paint(only on the clear & prevented damage to paint job). Car is in storage otherwise I would post you a pic showing where rocks hit without damage.

Sorry to correct you but there are no downsides to it. It's completly removeable without damaging paint as long as it's cured properly before applying.

Yes, it works on any aftermarket bumpers. I have a Kaminari front bumper & I completely covered it(see pics). The only down side is that the kit has to be custom made. Pre-made kits are made only for stock bumper.

Thanks for the compliment, glad to see you appreciate all my hard work.

holy macro its invisible!!! lol

Sunburst, how much was your paint job? i plan on going yellow too, viper race yellow.

nice

where can we get one?

Hard to say because I got a great deal because I know the owner of my shop. Put TRD wing on from stock, put on side skirts, hood scoop & both bumpers, fitted & painted w/3 coats of clear $1900.

From me. PM with your details on what you want & I'd be happy to help you

looks good sunburst, i wanna do that for my kami kit as well.

it's not a correction. i just said i HEARD not i know

holy smokes...thats amazing i have a 3m dealer/ shop only 15 mins from my house!!! i have to get a new paint job first...damn road debris...

Can anyone get a 3M part number on this stuff. I gotta do this before the bugs come out of the swamps this spring, which is in about a month!!

do you wax this or no?

You can wax it just like your paint. I wax the clear bra regularly & then the bugs & bird droppings come off very easily.

how much does it usually run for. front bumper, hood+bumper, whole car ??

thansk buddy, may get it done when i get my new trd one in
