I am new to the MN Subaru community but am an avid enthusiast. I have a 01 2.5 RS and it is my second Subie. I also own a business out of St. Cloud doing invisible bras for many of the dealerships and custom retailers in the area and across the state. If any of you guys/gals are interested put up a post. I recently did an 07 WRX and it is a 23 piece kit that covers the entire bumper, hood, headlights, grille, and mirrors. I will try to get some pics of it A.S.A.P.
How long have these been around, and does it fade different than the paint, mismatch in color, I looked at one at Morries BP, and didnt get because what happens 10 years down the road when the paint underneath doesnt match, or it tears or there a reason to remove it, damage to the front fender but not the bumper, etc.:eek4:
here is the scoop The product is UV transperent, meaning that it will let the paint fade at the same rate as all the rest. But, the paint may still look different due to swirling and other wear and tear, but its nothing a good buffer coulnt fix. It is optically clear and has a lifetime warranty against yellowing, cracking or bubbling. There is no special care, you just need to wash and wax it like your paint but I do include a can of cleaner and protectant to keep it looking its best. I can do pretty much anything custom, I have done a 68' nova a 69' chevelle, the running boards on a truck and many more, but tobviously if it is custom I would need to schedule a time to see the car and give you a quote. It is not the same as rockblocker. This is the industry leading product for paint protection and unless you know it is there you will never see it. It has amazing gloss, incredible resistance to just about everything and has blown away pretty much everyone that has had it. I've been called back a year later by customers and they will tell me how they were following a gravel truck down the highway and they were sure that there paint was gonna be messed up but they would wash it and still no nicks. If you think the 3M stuff is good this is amazing. It was developed in 2002 to correct all of the downfalls of the 3M stuff... It dosent yellow and it doesnt have that oarnge peel look. I am gonna try to be at the BBQ on the 19th and if I go I will be sure to bring some info and I will see if I can arrange to bring the 07 WRX I just did so you all can see it.
Dang it Ray you can pack the day before. YOU ARE COMING!!!! Blake I could use some small custom stuff where my antenna wires pass up from the trunk so the wires stop rubbing the paint of the trunk area. I could just meet you in St. Cloud somewhere after my classes. After I get the car in for the chips and dents I will have you do the front stuff.
Nice. I'd like to see one. Let us know if you're going to be coming down to the cites (IE: firestone) anytime!
Firestone?? When do you guys gather at firestone. Is it on fridays or saturdays. If any of you have any questions gimmie a call 763-742-3657 Blake
Just had him do some areas on my trunk because my antennas and coax rubbed the paint right off to bare metal. Thanks again.
Sounds good if any of you out there who want a bra for the front of your car, I can cut you a deal if i can do two or three at the same place in a day. If you are doing it solo its $410 (hood, bumper, headlights, fender ends, painted mirrors, grille and fog light covers) if you can get 2 cars I will do them for 375 ea. and if you can get three I can do them for 350 ea. They take bettween 2-4 hrs to put on for each car so if you have the a clean garage and a full day available find a few others who want it and you will get it at almost half of retail price ($550-600). Thanks again. any questions call 763-742-3657 Blake.
I am but the wife is the one with the money being I just graduated so Iwill have to check with her. That and I still need to get dents taken care of and a little touch up first.
I would be. Maybe we should just do a group buy or something since it seems like a lot of guys are interested.
Ok. I guess we need one more for the $350 price. Ideal RS, would the price drop if we got more then 3 interested?
3 or more I wont go below 350 per car because that is kind of my limit to how many I can do in a day. They take 2-4 hours a piece so the reason I offer the discount is because I will have all three cars in the same spot at the same time. So sorry I can't go below 350 but remember that this is approxamately half of the retail price, which is about 600. If you get three guys together and have a place to meet let me know but if you only have two give me a call (763-742-3657 Blake) and we can probably work something out. If you have parts for an 01 RS sedan we may be able to work out a swap of sorts.
If you are interested in the group buy thing..... If you are interested in doing a group buy, throw a yay or nay on the board and if there are a few of you I will contact you all and set up the place and date.
Blake installed a clear-bra on my '06 wrx on Wednesday. All I can say is; "wow." The bra is completely clear, the price was awesome, and Blake did a phenomenal job installing it. Pic's attached. Obligatory foot pic! Thanks again Blake!
holy crap...this is pretty awesome! only thing is..is that my hood bra covers my rock chips! lol so a clear one wouldnt help much at this point! but my hood bra is only on until i repaint the hood or get a different one.
I have one from IDEAL RS I have a bra from IDEAL RS. The thing is awsome, I have it across the whole front of my car. Everithing is protected, you cant see a thing. Seriously check him out its a great product, and he does a great job.
If you do decide to get one. Let Blake know It isnt cool to do the job wearing a bikini. Even if its a hot day. Hey blake, leave the bikini car work to the highschool chearleading carwash, okay buddy.
Thanks Appreciate the rave reviews raceface, but its not a bikini its a banana hammock (or at least that is what the salesman told me). On a more serious note I should have some more pics soon of some other cars. I will try to get my foot in one of em'. Any Questions give me a buzz. Ideal Auto Bra Inc. Phone:763-742-3657 Blake
