Hey Folks!

 

Just wanted to say hello and mention how I'm looking forward to hearing all about every one else's Edge experiences. I'm also interested in executing the lighting mod for the skyroof buttons soon. Hopefully I can do it without too much risk of losing the board or zapping myself.

 

Yes, you read the topic right. I traded in my 2004 Driftwood Pearl Prius for the Edge. After 75000 miles, I'm ready to have room and more comfortable car again. (though the Prius wasn't bad - I used the snot out of the Nav system and it did save me a ton on gas - yes, I know I'll get much less in the Edge - its a cost I'm willing to pay)

 

Just took posession of an '08 Blazing Copper Edge on Saturday and am waiting to really drive it until I can get a clear bra put on the vehicle. I know there are folks that think this is a waste of $$$$, but I'd rather save the time of having to repair rock chips or of having to drop off the vehicle at a body shop to have the hood repainted. Let me know your opinions on the product(s) if you have used a version of a clear bra or just let me know your opionion if you feel like it. :)

 

Looking forward to conversing with you folks and to contributing to topics I feel I can be a help on.

 

Regards,

The Clear Bra is great. I have a new 07 blazing copper Edge and just drove 1700 km over the last while on vacation and not a chip or mark anywhere. Definetly worth it. I used to work in a body shop and painted many hoods and bumpers for that reason. Good luck.

 

Thanks for the response RKL! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have it applied, but I have to find a dependable installer here in Indianapolis - that's the difficult part. I've looked across the net to find someone saying something like "I had mine done by (insert person or business name here) and they did a super job1" but I can't find a hit relatively close. I'd hate to settle for Ziebart if there is a smaller group that does the job better.

 

If someone out there is an Indy person that found a good installer of clear bras, PLEASE let me know!

 

Lastly, how do you care for the bra? Wax normally? Did you use paint sealant on it? How do you get it to shine??

 

Again, thanks for the response and for the feedback!
