I got mine done at East Bay Auto Spa in Walnut Creek. Used XPEL film and it is first-rate. I did the full front including hood, mirrors, headlights, rocker panels, rear quarter panels (halfway up) and they threw in the trunk sill. The stuff is great, I think it adds to the finish. You can't even see it unless you know what you are looking for. The hood is perfect which I love. People have done a double take when I tell them I have a clear bra. A guy in a tricked-out M3 with a clear bra parked next to me once and he couldn't believe how much better mine was. He had only done the front of the hood which looked terrible, don't do that! Very happy with it. They have good Yelp reviews too.

Two recommendations... first is the Orinda Auto Detail guys. They do XPEL film and showed me some of their work in progress on Tesla's in their shop. I didn't have the film put on but had them detail and put Opti Coat Pro on my M5. It looks amazing! Based on how great their work was on the detail and attention to detail on my car, I would trust them to install XPEL film.
2nd recommendation is Juan at http://www.transparentbra.com/. He installed my window tint... did an amazing job, so I would also trust his work for clear bra install (also got this recommendation from a fellow board member who recommended his tint + clear bar installs). |

Getting mines installed this week at autoprofilms in Belmont. Will let you know how it goes, but reviews have been great. Premiere protective films in Fremont is supposed to be the best shop in NorCal and only use their own film (prestige). The cars that go there are really high end and they charge double of what other shops charge.

pm me. I have been using the same guy for the past 10 years. He recently traveled to Socal to do my clear bra at my home.
