There is a place out in Pleasanton near Vishnu that did a great job on mine. Its called Omega Tintwerks. Speak to Vincent, he'll hook you up. I will probably get my clear bra done there soon.

Moostafa, if you don't mind revealing... How much did your tint job run?

Best regards.

I can't remember exactly since its been about a year, but I want to say low 200s. For the quality of film, and the quality of the job itself, I don't think you'll find a better deal. It was done pretty quick as well.

Thumbs up

I agree with Moostafa29.
Vince tinted my windows a couple of years ago and did a great job!
He was highly recommended by the Subaru owners.

Agree with Moostafa29 and Renesis Heart. Vincent is a pimp when it comes to tinting and clear bras.

I had him fabricate a clear bra for my lower lip spoiler. Sadly, he did such a good job that it looks much better than the guy that did my car's clear bra and tint. So now, I need to find enough cash for him to redo the mistakes my other installer did.

Vince

I'm going to have to give this guy a call too. He hooked Blue_Chameleon up with some fab work, but does anyone know if he deals the precut clear bras also?

This is all about protecting the paint and interiors, so let me ask, what do you guys use to wax your rides? Bought mine used, and the old couple who had it didn't know how to wax it properly, so there are a few tiny scratches that just are visible in the clearcoat. I want to either do it myself, or find a detail spot that can wax it and buff them out.
