Any recommendations for a shop in San Jose, CA (95117) and surrounding area within 40 miles for getting a clear bra put on to my front new MTech bumper?

I know there is Mr. Tint but they are quite expensive so wanting to explore my options.

I've been interested in this too. I was going to do it last November when I purchased my e92. However, I realized my aftermarket lip needs to be repainted (or get a CF lip) before I would get the clear bra.

I browsed Yelp and the shop that caught my attention with multiple positive feedback reviews is AutoProFilms Clear Bra in Belmont.

Only thing I can recommend with this shop or any other you look into is an advice I was given a long time ago about getting a car painted.

Before hearing the prices or looking/hearing for reviews, you need to ask if you can see a car they are currently working on. It'll give you a chance to see how their work in progress is over pictures or someone that had a good experience.

Lastly, make sure it includes a lot of protection in the following areas:

• Front bumper
• Headlights
• Fenders
• Partial hood
• Rear view mirrors

I called another shop locally (I can't remember name), but they were offering all that for under $800.

Keep us posted!

Thanks for the info bud! I am just looking to get my front bumper done as that is the one I have got new recently. The hood, etc. already has chips on it lol so won't be doing that now.

checked with Mr. Tint and they are charging $350 for the entire bumper and their work is good from what I have seen. I have tints done from them multiple times.

However, I feel that $350 is a bit steep just for the bumper. I will give autopro a call and see what their prices are.

I'm stuck at work working on formulas

Can you do me a favor and ask how much also for a full clear bra install?

Just use Yelp bro. Call around and read the reviews

I do clear bra in Sonoma county and $350 is what we charge for just a front bumper. If your headlights haven't started to oxidize yet due to weather in the area I would recommend the headlights also. It will save them

There's a place in Sacramento that can do it for $300.

I believe AutoPro is run by Jeremy, who also owns Invisiguard Clear Bra.

I had him do my 335i a couple of years ago and I have no complaints. Everything looks great. He even came to my place to do it.

omega tintwerk might be on the expensive side, but highly recommended. had all my car done by him and hes been around for many years, enjoy what he does and quality work.
