Default Anybody put a clear bra on a Ibis car yet?

Just saw a clear bra on a white IS250 and it looked terrible. Almost bad enough to roll the dice on not getting a clear bra. Was planning on going with venture shield because I heard it was a little more clear. So if you put a clear bra on your Ibis S4 what is your opinion on how it looks. Right now I'm thinking I should have went with the red. Oh well. Maybe next time.

Not quite the same thing but I have Lamin-X on the front of a white Z4 M Coupe. It was installed over 3 years ago. It looks fine.

I haven't put on any bras in my ibis S4, but you could say a few have come off.


HEYYYYYO!

I did full hood fenders, fenders, rockers, etc.a week ago in Ventureshield. Looks great so far. Installer said to try to keep it clean and wax it as you would the rest of the car.

I am sure prices will vary a lot. I paid about $1050 + tax. In addition to what was mentioned above I also got the door handle cups, in front of rear wheels, rear bumper behind rear wheels and trunk lip.

We put a 3M clear bra on my wife's Ibis A4. It has yellowed considerably in only about 6 months--I wouldn't recommend using the 3M material on a white car. Venture Shield (now bought by 3M but still a separate line of products) supposedly resists yellowing better.

Had it on my ibis now for about 3 months did the full front and behind the tires. No yellowing, just dirt build up along the edges that is hard to get rid of
