Clear Bra Recommendation?

[skl007]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to do a full wrap with something like suntek or xpel. Has anyone here done something similar? If so, where did you go and was it worth the cost? Only quote I've gotten so far is 6k.

Clearguard Nano. I've had it for over a year and it still looks as good as new. It's the most optically clear film in the market, almost zero texturing, just lots and lots of gloss. Self healing too, I've seen bird poo etching dissappear after a 24 hours.

But at those prices, you really need to take care of your paint protection film. If you're not one to worry about the cleanliness of your car I wouldn't do it.

Highline customs will do it for less (4k), but the job wont be as immaculate as 503 (where I'm guessing you got the 6k from).

I had a 911 done at Highline, and no regrets, but when 503 redid the front bumper after a scratch, there was a difference in install quality.

For my E90, I'd use Highline. It's white and the difference wouldn't be worth 2k$ to me.

The fabric they use is pretty much all "par" whether its Suntek or Expel Ultimate or whatever.

Not Immaculate Essence, but same tier of shop. Won't actually be doing it on the M3, but the GT-R community is small enough where it's not a great place to look for general car info .

I'd vote xpel after seeing it on friend's cars.

Roadrunner Film and Graphics (Dave Ball is the owner), 503 Motoring, TCT Wraps, or PDX Wraps have all done good work that I've seen, and I'd trust any of them.

Of those, 503 and Roadrunner tend to get the higher end stuff, Dave @ Roadrunner is constantly putting xpel on new Ferraris, Lambos, etc. TCT or PDX Wraps will be cheaper but nearly as good.

Thanks for the info guys! I think I'm going to go the Suntek route because the consensus is that it looks better on black cars and is slightly harder. The hydrophobic quality of Suntek will be nice as well. Since I don't track I don't mind giving up a little bit of protection advantage that you get from Xpel.

Clear bra vs paint thinner. Who wins?

You're on the right path wanting to protect your ///M. A typical range for a full M3 wrap is around the $5,500 - $8,500 mark so your quote for $6k is in the ballpark.

If you haven't seen it already, check out our new video we launched last week with the launch of our new Paint Protection Film, ULTIMATE PLUS. We put the film through some pretty rigorous tests.

XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS

XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is the industries clearest, most durable, most stain resistant, and easiest to maintain paint protection film.

If you need recommendations on finding an installer just let us know. We're happy to answer any questions.
