Recommendations for Clear bra shop
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:
I called another shop locally (I can't remember name), but they were offering all that for under $800. Keep us posted! |

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 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
