A good friend of mine’s family member got a clear bra installed on his F430 at either Depaula or Denooyer. Not really sure on pricing though :(. Assuming they do a nice job though to take a car like that there. ---

Nick, I don’t know of anyone in the area who does them well honestly. I’ve seen some horrible jobs on local cars. There is a place I think in CT or downstate that does them. I can try to see if i can dig them up. ---

the only place to get it done is by a CERTIFIED 3M dealer. the closest place that is near us is in mass. they did a handful of our P-cars and everyone of them came out fantastic, and warrantied for years aginst fading,cracking, peeling. plus these are all machine cut so the fit is 100% spot on. it’s not cheap but it’s worth it. ---

i have done this. its plastidip that most use. they make it in a clear gloss or a matte. once i have my garage up and running i will be offering this. but thats months ahead. people pay big bucks to get there car plastidipped. but not as bad as the vinyl guys who pay $3k to get there bmw wraped ---
