Hard to find clear bra

I've put a holden monaro bumper cover on my 2004 GTO, and have not been able to find anyone with a precut pattern. Could anyone point me to someone that might have a precut that will fit a 2004 holden monaro cv8-z?



:bow
 
I'd rather do it myself and save a few bucks. Has worked out well on previous cars.

you'd think you could find them on ebay.com.au just like you could the GTO here but they must not be a popular item in ozzy land, maybe the lack of snow. :geez

If you put it on, it's not OEM



The Gto is based on the holden from AU, I'm assuming you did a conversion. So I would try an australian supplier. Not a U.S supplier
 
Try Clear Mask as well.



Be careful if you take it somewhere for a custom cut. I've heard how they can just take the material and lay it on a part and cut it too size. Probelm is the exacto knife (or the hands that it's in anyway) might slip.
 
Just make sure you install this correctly. I saw 2 cars today (a Black mercedes, and a new white corvette) both HORRIBLE install clear bras. It was SOOooo disgusting looking.
 
I just organized a clearbra/tint group buy. We are getting full custom cuts. I looked at several of the local shops that do the pre cut kits. There was nothing that comes to the quality of a good installer who only does custom cuts.

Oh, sorry.



I thought the GM factory part on a GM factory car would be OEM :rolleyes:



if the part comes out of a GM factory box with a GM tag on it that part who cares if it's a USDM or AUDM part.



In any event by your argument the bumper cover that comes on the car is not OEM because the car was never designed to be sold as such.
 
well technically you are correct , it is GM OEM

just not available in the USA.



As far as the clear bra, they are cut on a plotter.



the clear bra manufacturer ie: Xpel. sells the patterns to make the cuts, to its agents.



with that being said, since there is little demand for U.S based clear bra agent to cut a pattern for a holden bumper, it is not feasible for the agent to purchase the pattern.



However, an AUS agent, does have the demand to spend the $$ to buy the pattern, and that is how you must buy yours



www.paintshieldaustralia.com is who you need to contact





So now you learned all you needed to know about clear bra's
