New Clear Bra Film

[tim@smartshield]

The Open House at SmartShield on Friday was very interesting. Xpel technologies were there to introduce all the Phoenix area clear bra companies to their new "Premium" Paint Protection Film. The film looks absolutely amazing! It is as smooth and clear as glass. All other clear bra film has a slight "Orange peel" effect to it. This is a result of the backing paper. Paper is not completely smooth and the film takes on the characteristics of whatever you lay it on. So Xpel came up with the great idea of laying the film on a completely smooth plastic instead. The result is stunning. We installed it on a black Infinity G35 and I will have the photos up soon. We also went next door to Inyati Sprayed In Bedliners and one of the bedliner customers was lucky enough to get a free install on the front end of his truck!
Smartshield, as far as I know, will be the first and only company in Arizona to carry the new film, you heard it here first folks;)

Unfortunately the pre-cut kits for Mustangs only start at 1994. It can still be done by free hand, but that tends to get a little pricey as it takes the better part of a day to do the work. My installer did a custom bumper on a 350Z a couple of Fridays ago. It took 6 hours and cost about $900, in the regular film. But the customer was so impressed he's bringing in his Escalade with a custom bumper as well.

This guy's car looked like it was straight out of "The Fast and the Furious". This bumper was about 30 sqaure feet, but there was a huge amount of wasted film as there were huge sections of mesh in the middle.

He must of done more then just the bumper to use 30 square feet.. I bet he ran the material 18-24" up the hood too.

Hi Joe, thanks for the inquiry. The price for the Lightning would be $527...and with the Copperstate discount that would be $447. That would include the bumper, the grille, and 11" up the hood, the fender and mirror.
