Clear Bra Installer Recommendation?

Need recommendation for a Clear Bra installer in the Dallas, TX area. Please also suggest the X5 areas, which should be covered with the clear film and things to lookout for. Thanks in advance.

Good luck finding an installer. I have an appt for tomorrow to have my clear bra installed. I'll be covering the entire hood, bumper, full fenders, mirrors and inside of the door handles. I'll report back with things to look for/insight.

Have you seen how the product looks after a year or so installed??

My dealer stopped the spray on version because it looked bad if it was chipped and needed to be removed and re-applied.

3M and very happy with it. Just dont get polish near the edges of it, kind of difficult to dig it out afterwards.

Cheers,

Use the dried-on wax remover on the edges.

Got the clearbra installed at Intrigue Detail in Lakewood. "So perfect, it's intriguing....."
It looks great, they the owner, Justin, is a super nice guy who is all about customer satisfaction and approval. He really knows how to secure and keep a customer. He was all about making me and my wife happy with the job they did. If there was something we didn't like, he would change it. He stands behind the work of him & his team. I would highly recommend them.
I had the entire front bumper, both front fenders, and full hood covered. Basically the entire front 1/3 of the car is protected. I also had the clearbra installed on the mirrors, door edges, and inside of the door handles. It's been raining & snowing since install late last week, but I'll get pics up soon.

While we were there, we also had the 2 front windows tinted to match the rear windows. The first application was too dark (20%) so they gladly replaced it with a lighter tint (27%) and it matches the rear windows much better.

Let me look at my paperwork tomorrow for an installer here in Dallas that I used about 3 years ago. He did it mobile and did a custom kit from scratch. This is the 2nd go round on my '01 e53 (had it on for 5 years but a lady hit me in '06). Both times I did the bumper, quarter panel, hood and mirrors---not the whole pieces like on the bumper it's the section along the fogs all the way around--hood and quarter panel go about 1 foot deep.
