Custom Cut vs Kit Installations

We get calls asking if we our standard installation are custom cut or if we use a kit. 

We do both!!!

For most vehicles, kits which we cut for your vehicle fit very well.  Kits allow us to provide excellent installations in a shorter amount of time than when performing bulk or "custom" installations.
If you own a late model (newer) vehicle and have not performed any modifications to your bodywork.  You will be happy with our kit installation.

Some shops out there swear by their custom hand cut jobs and say kits do not cover as well.  They may be reffering to the older kits from older kit designers for older cars. Yes, these old kits had huge gaps in coverage, many of them did not even cover wheel to wheel on the bumpers.  Kit designs have come a long way since then.  The top kit designers employ a large staff who work directly with automobile manufacturers to make sure clear bra kits are available for new model vehicles with excellent fit and coverage.

Bulk or custom installation involve using a blade to trim off excess material as the bulk sheet of film is stretched and molded onto the vehicle.  For an experienced installer, using a blade on the vehicle carry's a very low risk.  Special blades offer the installer a feel for the film and scoring just the top layer of film so it can be torn does not damage the paint.  "Bulking" a vehicle does take significantly longer than using a kit so a premium price is normally added for these installations. 

Bulk installations are reserved now for those who have custom body panels or want coverage which isn't part of the standard protection package.

Clear bra and the varying prices

So you've finally purchased your new car and want to protect it immediately and decided on purchasing a Clear Bra.  A quick internet search brings up several shops in your area and quotes bring up vastly different prices on the standard clear bra coverage package.

I know we may not be the cheapest shop in the area but here are some the benefits of choosing us.

1) Elite Auto Films is an established company with a storefront and an owner who has no other plans for his company other than providing the best product and service to new and previous customers.  If you ever need to contact us.  You can email, call, or show up at our door.

2) High end dealerships and people with high end cars trust us. We are called upon as by many dealerships in the area to install clear bra for their customers because of our proven track record of quality and service not only in the San Francisco Bay area but also high line dealers in Beverly Hills and other parts of Southern California.  Whether you want to protect your Ferrari or Honda, this same quality of service is what we give to our all of our customers.

3) Only the best materials are used by our company.  The only materials we sell are ones that have proven themselves in the industry.  Since we stand behind all of our work, using only the best films means less warranty work for us and less headache for our customers down the road.

Full Coverage Clear Bra?

Although the clear bra material we use is very clear and hardly noticeable. Many of our customers opt to purchase the full hood or full fender options for the the clear bra on their vehicle.  Besides not having to worry about the rock chips that make it higher up the hood and fender panels.  Having the entire hood covered makes it so there is no visible line down the center of the hood.

370z Vinyl Roof Wrap

This car belongs to one of our 370z customers. He wanted to add some contrast to his white car by having us wrap the roof in gloss black vinyl. This 370z is also protected by a full front coverage clear bra (full hood, bumper, fenders etc )

Vinyl Wraps

Vinyl wraps are a great way to customize or change the look of your vehicle without repainting.
Here are examples of what can be done with vinyl. .

- Black out chrome window trim or front grills
- Black roof
- Black or colored mirrors
- Black hood
- Black Trunk
- Full color wrap (matte black, matte white, almost any color )

The vinyl is warrantied for 3 years. If you ever change your mind or want to change the look of your car, you just peel it off and do it again

This BMW M6 was fully covered in Matte Black Vinyl. The customer also added blacked out and carbon fiber accents.

Full vinyl jobs take about 2-3 days to complete.
