Hi everyone,

My Q5 is going to arrive on Monday, and with the crazy gravel in the winter it would be in my best interest to get a clear bra for it.

Any recommendations? And how much should I expect to pay for this?

Thanks!

 

As far as my research has taken me it should cost you about 300-500 dollars for the good quality stuff depending on the installer. Less if you do it yourself of course. The brand I have is 3M scotchgard PPF ( paint protecting film) and its been on my car for 5 years. Check my photos and you can barely see it is there, though I can see it starting to yellow a little
(previous owner wasn't a huge fan of car wax)

as for places to get it done..
Davinci's Workbench
Trim-line of calgary
The car salon
Thompson Graphics
Shadow Tinting
Darksidez
Calgary Shield
Refine Automotive salon
TDS enterprises

All sell the 3M stuff, so you can shop around a bit for the best price. As for quality of service, i'm still new to the area myself so I couldn't tell you from personal experience.
Happy hunting

 

I did the clear bra for mine at Icon Graphics and Tinting in NE Calgary. They charged me $ 310 for the hood, fenders, mirrors. They charged me extra $ 40 for the fog lamps. They said I have to polish the clear every three months and the price included a first time polish of the clear bra. For what I know the price varies on the model.



Cheers

 

Quality can vary. I did full hood on mine so had to upgrade to product that came large enough to cover and I had it done at Royal Oak. Seems okay to date, 6 months old.
