Shopping for a new clear bra
 
Does anyone have a recommendation on a clear bra installer in the Northern VA area?
My front bumper side on my 987.1 S was hit last year by one of the roving gang members in the DC ATV gang and my local shop hasn't been able to get their guy to commit (no idea why).

So, I am looking for someone to remove the current bra and install a new one.

Thank you!

Ok, I stopped in the Tyson's Porsche dealer and they have a guy. I am getting a quote from them but am assuming sticker shock...

You could give a call to Darryl Nichols at Odds and Ends Detailing and see if he knows anyone doing clear bra. Actually his business card says he does this himself. 703-675-8819

+1 on Darryl, he redid several pieces of clear bra covering on my 997 after an off track adventure a few years back and did a great job.

Looking like $500 just for the bumper which seems pricey but I have nothing to compare to.

You also have to remove the old PPF as well? That could add quite a bit.

Goto Xpel.com and look at what the DIY kit costs for the front bumper ($459.95), that will give you the ball park for the materials. What brand film its being quoted?

Please stop posting to this thread - it just keeps raising my hopes and crushing them.
