I booked an appointment to install the clear bra on the front bumper and hood.
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.

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.

Calgon Take Me Away!
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.
