What kind of coverage did you get with your install?

my buddy got his clear bra and tints done for $750 on his Mercedes recently.
Lifetime warranty for them but talk to them about it.

I got it done from tint king but looking at the job they did you'd think they are amateurs. They cut the clear bra too close to the edges or rolled it over so it doesn't stick and dirt gets underneath the clear bra.

In my case I havent had any such issues. I got it done in July 10. May be they improved since you got it. Even after all storms and rains we had in last 2 seasons its still intact. I dont see any dirt around edges. I was initially thinking it might only last 2 yrs but it seems like its gonna last more than that.

I'm probably going to go with Rick Nelson of Unique Car Care. He seems to be very well regarded in numerous car communities, and he contacted me to offer his services before someone even mentioned him in this thread.

I might do some touch up and get the xpel done. I've got noticeable chips from the winter. I think the previous owner had the film, so hopefully I can hide the one winter damage I did.

Driven Perfection from Weymouth uses both Suntek and Roadblock films available....any good??

Standard Installation would cover the leading edges of the hood and front fenders (25% - 30% Coverage), the side mirrors and the entire front bumper. cost is $595.00 including film and installation.

How did that go?

I am thinking of using UCC to take off my current clear bra, detail the car, and install new clear bra.
