Looking for clear bra installer
Just moved to the DC area this past week and am waiting on delivery of my 2011 e90 M3. Its on the Sunlight Ace and is set to arrive stateside on 1 October. Not sure how long it will take to arrive at the dealer once it gets to the states, but I'm figuring another couple of weeks. I'd like to get the clear bra on as soon as I get the car so I'm shopping around for installers. Any recommendations?

It depends on how much coverage you want. Some only do the front bumper and part of the hood. Others will wrap the whole hood, fenders, bumpers, mirrors. This obviously gives the most protection, but wrapping the entire hood will remove the line that some people don't like the look of. I just wrapped my front bumper, painted reflectors, and headlights.
You should see prices from $350-1400 or so, depending on how much you get covered.

Remember to have ANY areas that will be covered with clear bra polished to perfection FIRST. Having the paint under the clear bra swirl free is a big deal in the final outcome.

I know you're hyped b/c you just got a stellar review. And I've seen your work and you definitly know what you're doing... unlike a lot of other "detailer" posers around here... but don't get it twisted. Any truly premium clear-bra shop will know how to properly correct paint, but it is some hard ass work no doubt so props to you and have at it. But..... you should edify yourself, swirls in paint will totally disappear under properly installed premium paint-protection-film. The film essentially acts as a layer of clear, i.e. even if a paint repair with color and no clear and then PPF laid over it you can't tell.
