Default I did the painted lowers just below the door sill as well as behind the wheels and door jambs.

Looks fine except for a few places on the door jambs which have 1 or 2 small pockets where the clearbra has peeled a bit from wind drag. Unfortunately, these collect dirt b/c of the adhesive, but the product had to be installed with the seam facing forward for obvious reasons. Other than that, they look fine and work well.

Default I have the clearbra on my entire front end and all 4 splash areas.

The clearbra hasn't gotten so beaten up that it looks bad at all. It is actually really tough material. In the pic the clearbra is on my rear splash area and wraps around the lower
valence(?)under the bumper. It's also right behind the front wheel but you really can't see it.

Just as a note this is the ClearBra material and not the xpel/stongard stuff. I don't know how well they hold up since they are a 3M scotchcal material.

And here's one of my front end just for fun. My entire front end is wrapped including mirrors, headlights, fogs, and fenders.

Default I was there to watch them install my clearBra and..

as anyone here that has seen an install it's not an easy job, with a lot of room for error if you don't know what you are doing.

It easily takes at least 2 well trained people to put it on right.
