#128 of 132 just had 3M by highender
Apr 03, 2006 (7:29 pm)
Invisiguard installed on my Odyssey....The installer was very nice...he said regular price was supposed to be $770...because the Odyssey has a lot of surface area to cover.
HE coverd all the front areas..grill, half of hood, both front end of front quarter panels...both headlights ( double layer) , both rear view mirrors, and both front door sides .... he came over from over 40 miles away...We gave him a gift for his kids..since he was so nice. The job was impeccable.
and final price out the door was $495.
#129 of 132 Which way to go? by ryancp76
Oct 13, 2006 (1:38 pm)
I am considering a bra of some sort for my brand new car. I found my first nick in it, so it has sparked my interest. I am very much on a budget so I am torn which way to go.Vinyl Bra - looks like it might have problems and might not. Plus requires maintanence to keep in good shape.
Clear Bra - Will work great, but cost almost cost $500 to install.
I am all about protecting the car, but if it is going to cost as much as it costs to paint the entire vehicle, is it really worth it?
Suggestions?

I had a smoke colored bug deflector (Ford OEM) on my '01 Escape and it looked good until it started to cloud (common effect on the smoke deflectors). Well I just got my new Bugflector II by AVS for my '06 Pilot and boy howdy does it look good. The clear makes it very low profile and after about 5-10 ft away from car you can barely tell it's there.Her are some pics;

you can see more pictures I took of 'The Beast' (yes it has a name, don't all cars?) on My Carspace.

(What I was really intrigued about was perhaps putting a 4" wide strip down the side of the car to protect against other goofballs opening THEIR doors. He didnt think it would cost that much (no real fancy trimming required). Any thoughts?) You may want to check this out. Put them on my black Santa Fe, blended right in,didn't stand out like an after thought. Keep checking the site, I got mine for $99.

#132 of 132 3M Clear Bra in Atlanta by zune
Dec 28, 2007 (11:46 am)
Recently bought an 07 Odyssey and wanted clear bra applied. Numerous quotes in the Atlanta area from $650-900 for bumper/grille/hood/fender/mirrors (no headlights). Called Mike from Stone-X (www.stone-x.com) 678-367-1350. The address and phone on their website is outdated. They recently moved to Alpharetta. He quoted me $525+ tax. He was on vacation but had his installer Nate work on my car the next day. Application is excellent, with small gaps under the headlamps, but with edge coverage on the hood and fenders.I am totally satisfied, hence, I thought I would share the info here for others.
