Clear bra on splitter and mirrors?
New 1le owner. Sorry if this has been covered before but are these parts painted? Do I need to have clear bra on them also?
Thank you |

Yup, they are painted, they need film more than the paint....

I was going to have my splitter done when I had the nose and rockers done. They do have this new "stealth" film that is slightly more matte looking, but my installer tried a small section, and it changed the tone of the color too much for my liking. So I passed. I figured if the splitter ever got messed up for some reason, I could just pull it and have it re sprayed...

I did my splitter, I like it it and it's well protected.

Same here, added clear bra to splitter/mirrors. It's included in one of the XPEL kit options.

What kit did you end up going with? I see hood is included in many of these kits. I doubt you'd want to put it on over the vinyl. http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection.../Camaro/SS_(V8)

Here's the stealth on mine. They initially did gloss by mistake. This is much better.

I initially was going to have the splitter and mirrors done in XPEL stealth but didn't love the look via pictures from my installer with sample pieces. Can't remember what the mirrors were going to cost but splitter was $100.
Below is my splitter with XPEL and XPEL stealth test samples installed. normal XPEL was way too glossy for me

I had them done in gloss. Now I kind of want my rear spoiler and diffuser done in gloss too.

I chose to leave the splitter and mirrors alone. I did not like how it changed the color.
