Clear Bra install NJ/PA
 
Hello all my new 50th Camaro SS is to be delivered end of next week.

Can anyone refer me to a qualified reputable clear film installer in the NJ PA area.

I've never had one before but this time I figured I'm going to keep this one longer than the last few vehicles.

Thanks in advance.

Leeberbs did a good job on my Hellcat.

what is the typical cost on one of these?

2nd Leeberbs. Top notch work.

Depends on the product, difficulty and what you want protected. Front bumper, mirrors and headlights with Xpel ultimate on the Hellcat was ~$850.

10 year warranty from yellowing and other issues if installed by a certified professional. My G8s front bumper paint was trashed after 8 years of mostly highway travel. A respray may be cheaper but rather my front end stays nice.

totally worth 10 years. If I get a new car I am going to definitely look into it. What about cleaning the car with the stuff on it?

You wash it just like paint. Just don't hit it with a buffer. The Xpel Ultimate is self healing so any minor scratches (not gouges) will fade away in the sun. I didn't believe it until I saw it in person at SEMA.

i bought my old vette and it had this installed for an unknown amount of time and it needed to be replaced, so i removed it and the paint was perfect underneath (car was 10 years old and had 70k miles). i installed a new one myself which was simple on a c5 with no angles. my car was hit and there was no damage to the film or the car.

I got a quote for almost 3 times the Hellcat cost from the suggested place due to the shape and angles involved. So I decided my loans deductible reimbursement and being in the insurance business I could get a respray if needed down the line and pocket the savings in the meantime as curious as I was about the product.

Very happy with the car

Granted, $2000+ is really expensive.

But just curious... what color is it? Metallic?

ws6 jim 03-10-2017 09:48 AM

It's the Nightfall Gray Metallic with the orange accents.
