S. Kwok Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Has anyone have a clearbra installed in the Boston Area or know of a good installer?

I'm also in MA and had some trouble finding a reputable place in my area. I went through 3M's website and found that they had a certified installer at my dealer... unfortunately, in Warwick, RI. I had them do the job for me, $100- less than I could find anywhere around town. The job is 100% perfect and they only needed the car for half a day. Inskip also sells Lexus, so I'm sure the guy is very experienced in the IS as well. Inskip Reconditioning in Warwick, RI 401-821-1510 Installers name is Alejandro Creamer Sales Manager's name is Manny Taveres He's the guy who tweaked the price for me. It's not in Boston, but it's worth the ride to get it done right the first time. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Kwok Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 I just got it done after some research. First, i would suggest calling the nice car dealers around you, like lexus, bmw, porsche, ferrari, lambo, etc and see who/which company they use. You can do the same if your interested in tints. I would go for their service dept since they would know. Sometimes the person on the phone dont know, but they usually ask one of their service people and i always got a nice reply on who they use. Anyway, in boston proper, i got it done by Dave from Protective Solutions. His phone number is 781-248-9424 and he uses Ventureshield. I read on another forum who had a lambo that also had him do it too. It came out pretty good so far. He only deals in cash, but theres a written warranty and receipt so it seems pretty legit. He seems to be freelance, but can work in different dealer garages. mines was done at the BMW dealership on Comm. Ave right in Boston. I called the BMW dealership (where i got it done) and also the mercedes dealership in somerville and both referred me to the same name and phone number. It was done in about an hour, which is pretty quick. It was 500 for the front bumper (doesnt cover the side edges of the bumper), the front few inches of the fender, and about 18" of the hood. it was 35 extra for the headlights, and they cant do the fog lights since they say it gets too hot. It seemed to be computer cut and not cut on the car since there are many round curves on the plastic so that it can conform to the surface of the bumper. It should be just precut stickers and stuck onto the car. If your slightly north of boston, theres one other place in Danvers that was recommended by the infiniti, lexus and the lambo dealer in the area (lambo dealer was located in Peabody, while the rest are in danvers). All these dealers are located in Route 114 within a few miles of each other. Its called Autobahnd (http://www.autobahndnorth.com/) but they only seem to take orders from dealers (by leaving them a voice message) so it should be a bit more expensive. I heard they use 3M. It is located behind the infiniti dealership from what i have heard. I believe the Autobahnd people go to different dealers to do the car bra so it wont be driven offsite to be done. I believe they said it only takes about 2 hours or so, so it should be pretty quick. I also called Wheel Dynamix and they quoted me for 600 for bumper, fender and hood, while the headlights are 100 extra. They also said it takes about 4-5 hours and it would be a pain for me to commute there to and fro twice. Hope this helps everyone else who was considering it. As everyone else said, its really only noticeable at certain angles, primarily behind the bra line and near the car. If you're in front of the car its almost impossible to see the line. It doesnt even affect the reflection off the hood, if its properly detailed before the installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just bought a 2008 RX350 ( Desert Sage) and had the 3M protection installed here in California and I love it. Very invisable and already has paid for itself.

S. Kwok Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 One more piece of information for boston: The ferrari dealership near boston called me back since i left them a message, and they said it was done in house also by that company Autobahnd. Autobahnd only does cars through other dealerships. After i got that call (a few days after i got done by dave), im thinking it might've been better to get it done by Autobahnd since even lambo and ferrari dealerships get it done by them. Ferrari's service manager also said they have dealt with them for a few years with great results. Hope this helps anyone else considering it.
