Bra

Anyone else purchase a Bra for their Leaf? It is a must where I live.

Is that your car? If so how do you like the Bra?
I am planning on getting my windows tinted this weekend and was going to inquire about about a clear bra.

I asked about a clear bra when I got my windows tinted and the guy wants $500 for it. The thing is while it's guaranteed not to turn yellow for 5 years, it's not a lifetime warranty like the window tint. So I'm not prepared to pay $500 every 5 years to put a new one on. I don't even know how much it costs to take the old one off.

Glad you got the protection from the bra, but I personally am not a fan of that style. Despite the protection, IMO it's a dated look (reminds me of an 80's muscle car) and a lot of debris can get caught along the borders. I actually had that style bra on my 2003 Acura RSX, but after a while I decided it just wasn't for me.

I put a clear bra on my 2007 Honda S2000 and absolutely loved it. Great protection and kept the look of the car.

I even put a 3M clear bra on my Leaf. It's awesome, but also cost me $600. I've been meaning to post a pic, but you really can't see it, especially on my white car. It covers quite a bit, too - the whole front bumper, part of the side panels, charging door, rear view mirrors, and I'd estimate about 70% of the hood.

$600 sounds pretty good. The guy who tinted my windows said that he would do it for about $800, and that dealers charged people $1500 for him to put the 3M clear stuff on their BMWs.

Has anyone in the Bay Area had the 3M clear bra installed?

Curious where you ordered the bra and for how much? Thanks!
