Clear Bra Installer Recommendations in Washington State

Hi Folks. Does anyone have a good reccomendation for a good clear bra installer in Washington? I guess I'm getting tired of fixing paint chips every month from the roads around here...

I do go up to Vancouver quite often, and any reccomendations up there would be good as well.

Thanks!

I had Accutint in Bellevue, WA install the 3M protection 6 months ago on my '05 Corvette. They did a great job and a really nice group of people. They deal mainly in high-end vehicles. I would highly recommend them.

Premier Mobile, they are based in California but travel up and down the west coast to do installs, their information is on the sponsor page as well as they post from time to time in the sponsor forum and zone 8 forum.

I second the recommendation for Accutint. They did a great job on my S2000. If it's good enough for a Carrera GT...

Post Clear bra-installed

Hi guys thanks for all the tips. I called the guys at Accutint and Nathan was extremely nice. In the end, however, I chose a shop that did a full hood wrap. Apparently 3M doesn't make full hood material. I ended up using Venture Shield stuff.

I did a lot of research from about 10 or so clear-bra installers around Seattle, Bellevue, etc. If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me.

Found a good installer in Seattle that did the full-hood wrap + bumper, etc. at a reasonable price. His runs a small shop called NW Autoshield. My only regret was not doing it a year ago


Oh well live and learn.

Thanks for the recommend; Accutint put the clear bra on my Cayman today. I got to see their handy work on the Boxster of one of our local PCA members a couple of weeks ago too. They do quite a complete job. I'm very pleased with the results.
