clearbra removed... lookin' sexy

[jbaker1121]

hey everyone,

the clearbra was installed on the fx when it was purchased back in 05, and the past 4 years have turned it into a faded, scratchy, yellow-tinted mess. therefore, I went to a great detailer in queens. (big "A" detailing)
the bra came off easily, but it was the GLUE that took 3 hours to remove...

and the end result is a much sexier looking hood.....seems like the FX shaved or something hahah. here is some pics:
also, my fx always looks BS instead of DG when it's cloudy out....wierd effect







however, while getting detailed we discovered this....


wtf? paint cracking.....








contact for the detailer.....he does awesome work and is an awesome guy

Something hit the bumper and bent it, causing the paint to crack.

Only if your bumper was a vacuum on the inside, then maaaaybe.

lol sorry..
those pics looks really sweet.. well... except for that last one, which is a bummer..

Did you notice whether or not the paint under the clear bra faded any slower since it was protected?

or somebody sat, stepped, or karate chopped it.

ummm then scratch that one off the list of suspects haha

center caps do not match very well, and hve matte black emblems instead of chrome. i may throw them on this week and force myself to get used to how the ylook..but I am very picky nd the runny paint on them would bother the hell at me. I would rather look at the bare center....

yeah thanks,

the color seems to match perfectly, even under flourescent lioghting, sunlight, cloudy and sunny, it seems to be the same color throughout...

I removed and reinstalled my clear bra. I do remember it being yellow also. I didnt have that much of a hard time removing the left over adhesive.

are you planning on re-applying the clear bra? might be a good idea to keep it from chipping.

*nice wheels

what brand of clear bra was that?
I want to install on my new ride to be and would avoid that. I hear many are 3m brand rebadged.
Also; someone told me that WD 40 is good to remove glue/bumper stickers.

I actually have no idea what brand it was lol but it sucked.
and be careful when removing because sometimes things drip, like on the chrome grille, and screw stuff up
