My front is getting beat to hell and I'd like to get it painted and then have a clear bra added. Any recommendations of where to go or not to go? Any pros or cons I need to know about?

I'm in the Portland area and need to keep it local so anything from Aloha to Portland would work.

 

I know when I had my front repainted they told me to wait at least 90 days before I clear bra. I looked into at AutoTrim here in Tukwila, WA and they were quoting me around $500 for just doing the front bumper. I decided not to clear bra since it was so damn much.

 

Go to Apex Restoration. It's right behind Damerow Ford on Canyon. Ask for either John (the owner ) or Mike . They do a grat job and John is a huge Mazda freak

 

Apex and 503 Motoring do clear bra although it's very pricey. 503 Motoring is a little cheaper but overall the prices range from $750 to over $1000.

 

I will check them out. Thanks.

 

If you're a DIY'er, you can do it yourself for much less than that. Many places online will sell you pre-cut kits. It's a bit tricky to put on though.

 

HM Motorsports will do a stage 1 clear install for $395. It include the hood, front bumper and I think something else but can't remember. Is this a good price?

 

that's a good price. make sure the job is done right.

 

I haven't used HM Motorsports but I haven't heard the greatest about them either.

 

For something like $750 503Motoring will do front bumper, grill, first 6(?) inches of the hood, both side mirrors, and door edges.
