Suntek Clear Bra

[ViperPete]

hey guys,

I'm getting close to getting the Suntek Clear Bra.

I want the entire car wrapped. Is this possible? And, does anyone know of an extraordinary installer in central Florida?

Thanks

You can do it, but the hood will have a seam as it is roughly 6'x6' "laid out" and the widest film is 5'

I did my whole car with Xpel. Came out great, absolutely no regrets!!

Can you post some pics of the finished product? Was the hood 1 whole piece? Where did you get it done?

Always heard Great Reviews about Xpel, Suntek Not so Much (but, i suppose you've done your Homework)! GL! Post Pics!

Can't do one piece for the hood. But they put the seam cuts in good locations to minimize seeing them. Great investment and peace of mind.

95% of my car is done in Suntek. Yup 3 pieces on the hood, however if your installer is good then no one will know unless they are looking for it.

I just did my entire TA 2.0 with paint protection film, I own a shop here in Atlanta(Shine Auto Salon) that installs paint protection film. PM me if you would like, would love to hook up a fellow viper owner. Every viper should have paint protection film on it!

Dang, Atlanta is pretty far.

Do they do the entire car in like 1 day?

Yes, I can arrange my installers to clear out an entire day for your viper. May be easier if you dropped it off the night before so they can get to it at the crack of dawn. No worries either way, we do have an enclosed transport ,but we typically need a few cars to make it worth the trip. Happy to help in anyway!

Hands down the best place in Florida and maybe even the world for installs is Auto Paint Guard in Tampa. Ryan is very very anal about his installs and will remove the whole section of wrap and throw it away over and over again if it has one spec of dust. Literally. I wouldn't be surprised if they accounted for +90% of all super car paint protection wraps in Florida.

Also ask for Billy (their Detailer) to do paint correction and a layer of CQuartz ceramic coating under and then when Ryan installs the film Billy can do the remaining CQuartz coatings on top of the film. You'll have the best protection and best looking paint of any car on the road. CQuartz is amazing for keeping dirt and water from sticking to the car.

Auto Paint Guard? Tampa is a doable distance. I'll try googling them and giving them a call.

Also the CQuartz layer under the film will help with removal of the film later on down the road. Heat around the exhaust area could make it harder to remove.

Just got off the phone with Ryan, seems like a good guy.

I'll take a road trip and pay him a visit and see what he thinks

Let me know if you bring the Viper over...I'd love to see it.

So you can do cquartz under the film?

Local place I went to said they'd strip it off, which is why I'm still delaying/thinking about it.

It's not recommended to do it under the film on the whole car. Our rocker panels get super hot and may make it difficult to remove the film later on, so he apply's a single coat under the film and only on the rocker panels.

Pete, as stated above, you can't do one piece on the hood, stock roll is not wide enough. There are seams, but they are hidden incredibly well. If you look, you can see them, but for the protection they afford me, I really could care less. Be forewarned: it's a big job for your clear bra guy and it won't be cheap. I even had the carbon fiber planes covered...

[Vipercompany]

I used xpel and if u do the same the installer has to look under Dodge Viper GTS then there's a time attack 2.0 package with the cutouts for the carbon fiber. Not sure if you have the TA 2.0, just posting this for future reference.

[SADVIPER]

Stripes will help, I hid my xpel lines there worked fine. That hood is the most challenging lol

[ACR Steve]

use Xpel its the best on the market

[Roddy]

Previous owner put Suntek on my Viper. I have had 3M before and Xpel. I have to say the Suntek looks way better than 3M and equal to Xpel. From what I have heard Suntek is the superior product and for a full car wrap or lots of contours it is better to work with

[esm_viper]

Has anyone done the rockers on a 2015 GTC or GT? I'm interested in knowing how the film goes around the emblems. Is it cut out or do you take the emblems off and place back over the film?
