1) Clear bra worth it? I hear it might be better to just file a claim after a couple years of chips to the front of the car. $300 deductible and whole new paint job/windshield if its damaged? Or if clear bra is worth it...
1a) Who do you guys recommend? I've been quoted around $750 for a clear bra. So not sure if it's worth it or not.

i was recently at gpfx in richmond and they just finished this:
almost everything on this car was covered with paint protection film.
not a fan of unecessary repainting if it can be avoided. you end up with a recorded claim on your insurance history, non original paint that may or may not match, and all the downtime and headaches that can come with it...

2) Opticoat worth it? I've been recommended to take car straight to detailer, clay it, then get a sealant for scratch/door ding protection..

ken did my mustang and i'm happy with it knowing i'll never have to wax it again.
it's best when done on brand new (untouched) paint. otherwise you have to pay for labor to clean/polish because if you don't it will get sealed under the opticoat.

3) I want to put the front plate off to the side (don't judge..i like the look).
Probably in the area between the two grilles and between the horse and headlight, or right in between the headlight and the foglights, I've already asked the dealership not to drill the front plate on.. but I think it might come pre drilled? In that case...am i screwed?
3a) Input on the look or location of front plate?
|
no comment. i would only park it on the side if there is an intercooler, otherwise... no.
Quote:
3b) Does anyone know how I can get the plate on without drilling in case I change my mind?
3c) I've read you can use a no drill custom bracket, but that might take weeks to finish. Am I even allowed to drive off the lot in BC without a front plate? Isn't that just asking for a ticket?

search online for those motorized retractable hideaway license plates and see how they mount.
