As a true DIY'er and possessing a heavy dose of reckless abandon, I decided to install my own clear bra.
I visited several websites selling precut clear bra kits. I chose to buy mine from a company called Invisible Mask. I am sure other vendors are equally viable. Do your homework and choose the one that best suites you.
I have never installed a clear bra before in my life. I purchased the hood kit first which consists of precut patterns for the hood, fenders, and mirrors. Success installing this kit would result in the purchase of the bumper kit. I also decided to record my efforts on the GoPro and either document my glorious success or complete comical failure.

The package shipped promptly and came well packaged and protected:
I prepared three spray bottles of “slip” solution containing distilled water with 4-5 drops of Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo each. This is used to prevent the bra material from sticking to the hood before its time. I also prepared two spray bottles of “tack” solution containing 2/3 distilled water and 1/3 isopropyl rubbing alcohol (although I only used less than 1 bottle). The "tack" solution displaces the "slip" solution where sprayed and promotes tacking of the clear bra to the paint surface.
I prepped the car as follows:
Strip paint sealant by washing with kitchen dish soap. Rinse car very well. Throw away wash mitt.
Spray area with slip solution and wipe dry.

The following 9 minute video is of how I muddled through installation of the passenger side of the hood bra. I'm no Pro but heck, it worked....
