Clear bra

Hi I'm new to FRF and trucks.

I was wondering any new owners plan on installing a 3m or Xpel clear bra on their new raptors.

I usually get them on my sports cars but since this is my first truck I don't know if the clear bra will last or if it's even reqired with composite hood and fenders.

Some get a clear bra. And some wrap the whole truck in expel. How much offroading do you plan?


And I think we can all agree, a clear bar here wouldn't be a bad idea.

That's not a very clear bra.

It is a must every car/truck I have owned for the last 15 years has it.

Visited this thread 3 times now and can't remember what anyone said...

What were we taking about again?

Distracted by shiny objects.

Do you do a bra/target areas or full wrap?

I was considering Xpel, either partial or full wrap but have no experience with it. Trying to find an example I can see up close. Few questions:

- Is it essentially invisible or can you see its there?
- Does it yellow? Worried about this on Avalanche.
- Does it hold up for off-roading?
- How long does it last?
- If you do some target areas, but not a full wrap, how noticeable is it to the eye?
- Average cost of a full truck xpel ultimate wrap?

Raptor did a traditional 3M kit, forward facing only so there is a visible line across the hood and the fenders. On a white truck after 5 years it has yellowed a bit I am ok with that. Some film suppliers claim no yellowing but not sure who.

On another car I did the entire front end all the way to the doors and windshield no lines and on ruby red you won't see yellowing.

I had a car that the clear bra was 10+ years old and it was in great shape so how long they last varies on the way you use it I guess.

I will let some one else speak to full wraps and their durability.
