atrocious workmanship to say the least. Ive seen many cars locally with the clear bra, and am not impressed at the workmanship ive seen and the reason ive not done it to my car. Maybe there is a gap in the market here to consider looking into .... mmm ....

Although the industry is 15+ yrs old, it does have a relatively high turnover rate. Those who last in any industry the longest with a healthy reputation are the ones that are providing quality installations. There are quality installers on the market, you just have to search and search extensively in some parts of the U.S.

Just wanted to share some more photos of another car that just came in this morning. The previous owner actually thought it was a pretty good clear bra installation. This all comes down to what each individual's willing to accept. Some have higher tolerance than others.

WOW, maybe they only pay $300 or something to have it installed? haha My theory is you always get what you pay for.

Here's another example of a bad installation. Was installed by the local Ferrari dealer's vendor:

And Yes, there were razor cuts on the paint, but we were able to polish out most of it.

Here's another one - Tesla Model S done by someone "close to you guys" in the words of the owner of this new car. There are deep razor cuts into the paint and the job was redone 3 times by the same company before the owner gave up and brought it to us.
