i know someone here who does it. i don't think it's cheap tho (well for what it is I'd assume it would be really cheap but it's not that cheap, heh). i'll ask him tomorrow.

I know someone in Southern California who says he can do it for around 400 (the full kit apparently). It's negotiatable but he says normally it's around 500? Let me know if you need more information.

email vince@tng-autoware.com. the person i know is named emil so i guess say emil gave an estimate of $400? i'm not sure about how good they are but emil has an STi with the clear bra (installed by them) and it looks good. i haven't gotten it myself cuz i'm leasing though i'm very tempted to get one too.

their website is http://www.tng-autoware.com but it really isn't up yet. hope that helps!

I have been researching the same thing the last couple days. This is what I found. There are primarily 3 different brands of clear bras: Venture, 3M, XPEL.
The individual who I talked to said that the only real difference between any of the is that the Venture is the best looking but is harder to maintain. The 3M is the least amount of maintanance but has an almost orange peel texture. The price is the same for all 3

The breakdown is as follows: (prices include installation)
~400 hood, fenders, mirrors and bumper
~250 hood, fenders, mirrors
~60 headlights, can be clear or aqua blue (HID look) both are street legal.

Their website is www.aeroshield.com. They are located in El Monte (just north of the I-10 off the 605 fwy.) They specialize in aircraft but have started doing cars as well.
I am guessing that you should find similar pricing anywhere you go but this will at least give you something to start with.

There is also a company called ClearBra which uses 12 mils thickness instead of the usual 8 mil that the other 3 uses. I haven't heard back from the company so pricing is unknown.

Thanks a lot to both of you guys. I talked to a lot of peple and I am going with aero shield. I have an appointment this Saturday to get it done. I will let you guys know how it goes. They have a great price, great warranty, etc. $395 installed for everything ( hood, bumper, fenders, and mirrors). That is a great deal. Nice website too!!!!!! I am going to call them in the morning to clarify that I have the appearance package....some places charge more and some don't . I doubt they will since they use rolls as opposed to kits and it is all computerized.

Wow....I had my clear bra installed through the guys at http://www.aeroshield.com. The owner is a great guy. He actually let my wife and I use his van to go eat and shop while they completed installation. $395 for the hood, bumper( with appearance package ), fenders, and side mirrors. He will do the headlights for $45 dollars with a film that is 3 times as thick as the stuff that goes on the hood etc. They are in El Monte which is about 70 miles from me...but it was worth the drive. He uses the latest Venture film. He switched from the 3M because of the orange peel. It looks great....I will post come pics in a bit. On his van he took the edge of the key and was banging it against the hood....no marks...this is a great invention.....kind of like the baked cheetos I discovered at the grocery store last week :-)
