Yeah Let Me Know How The Clear Bra Turns Out, I Was Looking Into It

I had mine done through these guys:
www.aeroshield.com
They are in El Monte and do great work. I was the first RX8 they did and he said he got a lot if inquiries afterwards from this site. You may want to mention that Chris from RX8 club told you about it...may get you a better deal.,

about how much did it cost?

Go the XPEL web site. You can do a dealer locator by ZIP

How Does It Look? And How Much Was It

I got it done in Feb Aeroshield. aeroshield.com. They are located in El Monte airport. They started out doing aircrafts only then started doing cars a few years ago.

Francisco is the name of the owner. Mine was the 2nd or 3rd Rx8 he had done then. He said RX8's are the most difficult cars he had worked on. There are too many curves in the bumper. We weren't happy about the first film he put on my bumper. So he redid my entire bumper right away with no problem. He spent more than 5 hours on my car and even bought me lunch. Very nice guy, I couldn't have asked more from him.

I got the entire kit: Front bumper, hood (1/3), fender, head lights, fog lights, and mirros. All for around $560 including tax.

It's hardly noticable unless you look at it closely. If you have a lighter color on your car, it's even less noticable.

I am so glad that I have it on. Haven't got a single rock chip since then except a couple of them in the areas not covered by the film :(........but then I can't cover up the whole car.

Bottom line, it's worth it. Piece of advice though, if you do go there, make sure it's a sunny day with no wind. Any wind could below sands/dirt onto your car while the film is put on.

I got mine done at the dealer, Oak Creek Mazda. They gave me the full treatment; clear film protection on the front, rear, sides, wheel wells, mirrors etc. It was part of my deal with them though, so I'm not sure how much they charge for it, but I do have to say they did a good job.
