Canada 3M Bra

anybody do the 3M bra to their new rolla yet? I am going to get it done today, but still thinking whether I should go for the whole frontend or just the mirrors and hood and fog?

Might as well do the whole front. The bumper front will get the most hits. They also do front lights too.

That's a great price.
Now you can follow the sand/salt trucks real close.

Had mine done last spring. Entire nose,mirrors,headlights and fogs and the front air dam.Money well spent & easy to maintain w/product provided by installer.Incidentally,the car is Blue Streak and it's barely visible.

how would you really know that the installer used the real 3M brand and not just some fake imitation film protection?

i got my cars fron end 3m'd. its worth every single penny. I work at toyota so i got our detailers to install it. takes about 5hours for hood, fenders, mirrors and bumper(bumper is pain in teh ass on xrs model). it cost me $300canadian installed. its nearly invisible and stops rocks from damaging your paint. like after 7 months of ownership i dont have any chips on my paint. and still looks as new.

Go ahead and apply some touch up paint on top of the rock chip asap...you should be fine...since it is still a new car, shouldn't have bubble that quick. Just avoid water going into those chips. And which part of the car you are applying to? The bumper won't bubble since it is plastic not metal....but the hood...yes...it will rust if you don't take care of the rock chip with touch up paint. Still best way is the do the 3M on top.
