Did a search, no definitive answer.... Does anybody know of a pre-cut ClearBra kit for a 308? I posted a local thread for Texas asking for a good local shop, but if I can't find one, I'd do it myself, if I had the pre-cut patterns... Anybody? Greg
no kit for a 308. I did have one custom cut for mine. If you find a shop that'll do a kit they should be able to do a custom job as well. Definitely worth it!
Why do people make such absolute discouraging statements? Yes, of course there are pre-cut kits for the Ferrari 308. Here is one of them: https://secure.stongard.com/shop.aspx?kid=k273
Mike, I agree... Absolute negative statements need to be absolutely researched before issued..... Thanks so much for the great link. I REALLY appreciate it...! Are there others you know of? Greg
Hey Mike it wasn't designed to be discouraging! In fact just the opposite. Besides he asked for Clear Bra not stonegard... When I had mine done last year that's exactly what I was told. Why do some people discourage others from wanting to participate with comments like the one above?
My bad for specifying "ClearBra". I really don't have a brand preference; I'm just looking for a clear film treatment for my 308 front end..... Sorry... Greg
"clear bra" is more commonly used as a generic term for 3M or other clear film protectant. In fact, you'll see the term in the StonGard link above. No problem!
I'm going through XPEL for my 308. It'll be a custom job. There are just too many rocks and such in Idaho to freckle my baby's paint. $575. Dane
I bought the raw sheet from XPEL and made my own pieces, since all I wanted to cover was the front long euro spoiler, and the lower fenders behind each wheel.
Might be more economical to do this, rather than spend $450 for the pre-cut kit. Mike, what did the raw sheet cost you? What size did you get? Greg
Updated question: I'm looking at the Stongard kit for my 1977 308 GTB-USA (small spoiler) and the kit does NOT include a film piece for the lower lip/spoiler. This area is most exposed to road debris. Is anybody aware of a source for this missing piece? Thanks, Greg
The "Partial" kit does not. The "full" kit does. See diagram below from http://www.autocater.com/sell/catalog.asp?st=AMk71nPabZfNFNxDCVZdTwF6nRUsRWm0OeP9f65c&item=273&branch=894 Image Unavailable, Please Login
http://www.invinca-shield.com/n_genkit.asp?kit=1317 Invinca-Shield has one as well. They use 3M 8mil film with the top coat. They will also sell you by the foot if you need. Christopher Pristine Autowerks
I am philisophically against car covers, bras and clear treatments, thinking they look funky and cause more trouble than they prevent. However I am positive that my response belongs in the Politics and Religion section though. Rob "ducking"
What's nice about Invinca is that they offer individual pieces from the kit if you don't want the entire kit.
I have a hard time clearly understanding the 308 Invica diagram. Looks pretty unprofessional. Anybody had a positive experience w/ them? Greg
Anybody had a positive experience w/ them? I have used their kits before. Their installers will give you help over the phone if your thinking of trying it yourself. Their kits are designed to make it a little easier for the first timers. Their kits are cut into more pieces, and have relief cuts. Most kits out there have less cuts and pieces and are designed with professional installers in mind. Christopher Pristine Autowerks
3M Scotchgard film will not harm factory paint. As far as repaints are concerned they recommend waiting at least a month for the paint to cure. Christopher Pristine Autowerks
