FYI, anyone who is thinking about installing a precut clear-bra ont he bumper themselves, it is alot trickier than it seems in some youtube videos.

i tried to install them myself, but the bumper is really tricky, i got it on there nicely after A WHOLE afternoon of work eventually but there were some bubbles which i was not happy with, so i tore it off and decided to just have a shop to do it for me. and just to clarify that i'm not bad with my hands, i'm usually really good with DIY stuff. as a car-loving teenager I had done pretty much everything with a car from oil change to clutch replacement, and engine rebuilding, and even painting. I like to do everything myself. Not an experience mechanic/detailer by any measure but i was confident i could do the clear-bra myself. but it turned out significantly harder than it looks and it's worth to spend the money to have a experienced detailer to do it.

; )
I would never attempt that! Kudos to you for trying.

As soon as my hood comes in to the shop I'm having it done at the bra is going on. Fantastic work they do, my buddie's 911 Turbo had it done and it's top notch work.

Jacked up Marilyn and finally straightened out the exhaust. The left was higher by 1/8" it bugged me to no end. Took only a few months for me to finally do it. Lol. Now she's all straight and perfect. Also installed my wheel locks finally. Also had that since my car was new...lol. Yay finally.

Hehe I wondered the same thing. Maybe there's just soooo much to do with our cars we need two threads.

I installed my GT500 mudguards. Took a while to do it with the wheels on using a socket and screwdriver bit!

Dude I am really wondering who the hell to use to fix it. The ghost flames are right above it so repainting the fender is out of the question. Gonna have to be a touch up by someone who can really do quality touch ups. Really sick man.

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry to hear this.
I know how I felt when someone hit mine and got a big old scratch on it when I came out of the store. Couldn't imagine a Cobra. I'm sorry Al.
