I got quoted for Suntek clear bra today ... $700 installed w/ 5 yr warranty. I don't think they make clear bras specific to cars - it's similar to how they apply tint. Most tint shops have this service.

700!!
but thanks. Didn't know where did you get quoted?
Sorry but thats how it runs! Even gets up to around $1200-$1500 for the full hood+front bumper+fenders700!!
A tint shop ... paid $225 for my tint all around so I didn't think their clear bra price was all that off. I know in the San Francisco Bay Area clear bras range from 500-1000+ depending on how much you decide to cover and the brand of product. The $700 covered the bumpers up to 1/3 the way on the hood. It also covered the back of the mirrors.700!!
Waxing your clear bra will help keep it from yellowing. Also they seem to yellow faster on white vehicles (or it's just more apparent, not sure?). Zaino rocks
The dealer did mine, included in the deal. I'm not sure what brand of film it is but they told me it was pre-cut for the Q50S bumper. It's barely noticeable and the bugs just seem to fall right off of it
They backed the cost of it off the price of the car but its listed on the bill of sale at $730 including front fenders and 12" up the hood. This is a must have especially if you own the car.

I have had a clearbra on my car since about a couple of months after I bought it. After about 4-5 years, it started to show its age. It's taken a beating from car washes, tons of interstate driving, tons of 100+ temps, quite a few sub-freezing temps, etc. I also didn't baby it by waxing the vehicle or anything. It looks like crap now. I'm still debating whether or not I'll get another one. I tend to hold onto my cars for 7-10 years, so by the time I'm done with it, the clear bra will probably look like crap.
Also, bug splatter can also dry on the film just like on the car's paint, so you better be cleaning ASAP. About the best thing it's good for is stopping paint chips.

It's all about the kind of film and upkeep. If you spend less and go with lower quality film and not keep it waxed or take care of it you will run into issues.I have had a clearbra on my car since about a couple of months after I bought it.
