opinions on 3m crystalline film?

[nogm4me]

Does anyone have an opinion on this film? I know it is expensive, but I put 3m in my office and it works well. A black interior in Fl is something I've never had or wanted. It's gonna be hotttt in there! Thanks

If it is 3m it should be good.

I went with Ventureshield Clear Bra. I believe this is also a 3M product

Reptar, How much is the 3M bra?

 

[Reptar]

about $400 but all depends it can vary on region, installer, etc.

worth every penny!

What did you get covered? Do you think widow people do that too?

click the link I put up. It has all the details.

Hood, fenders, headlights, upper bumper, and mirrors.

You want to find a dedicated installer. A place that does tint may also install it, but you want to find somebody who's done it before. It takes a lot of skill, it's not just applying the clear bra, it's also a lot of stretching and forming the materials to the compound curves of the fenders and everything else.

I got the 3M bra as well. My ford guy knew the guy and got it for me at cost. Did the front nose, alil bit of the fenders and the mirrors. And I gotta be honest I smacked a tree branch with my mirror that was hanging out when I was driving. And instead of scratching up the mirror it just put alil crease in the 3M

I also have Ventureshield on my 2010 and have had it on other cars. It is clear. No orange peel. In the past the 3M film had the orange peel look. 3M has now purchased Ventureshield and would not be surprised to see the other stuff go away. As others have said find a good installer. The prep work is KEY for any clear bra. If it is not done right if it ever has to be removed it can take paint with it.

After re-reading your post I realized it is clear window film not PPF that you were asking about. I only use Global window films for any glass work. I have a friend that tints my stuff and that is all he uses.
