Startronics in Los Angeles specialized in all your car needs and protection
While car modification and customization certainly is cool, a lot of what goes on isn't just for looks. These modifications do serve practical purposes- they can enhance car and/or driver performance, for example, or protect your car from damage. And when you've spent so much money on making your car look good and perform well, protection is exactly what you should have.
Smoked tail lights, for example. Smoking or tinting your tail lights covers the glass with a film, applied by sticker or sprayed on, that prevents scratches on your taillights. Just be careful about putting tints on your taillights- you may have state laws regarding how dark and opaque taillights can be, so your Smoked tail lights may not be street legal.
Clear bras paint protection systems may not be quite as attention-grabbing as Smoked tail lights, but they get the job done. In this case, the job is protecting your car's paint from scratches caused by debris on the road: small pebbles and debris flying around, which can cause a lot of scratches and tiny dents in your car. The clear bra is a transparent film that goes over areas that can be damaged by road debris, like bumpers or side mirrors.
Over time, these small collisions may become visible as scratches and small gouges in your paint job, leading to a very expensive repainting session at your car shop. A paint bra system may be an additional initial expense, but in the long run, it'll save you the money you lose getting costly paint repair jobs. And when your Clear bra system has taken enough punishment, you can peel it off to reveal the unscratched paint underneath, and just replace it with another film again.
If your car is hit hard enough (like with a larger piece of rock, while going at high speeds), it will leave a dent. This doesn't necessarily mean another trip to the car shop to have the whole panel reworked and repainted, and several days' worth of waiting.
PDR Paintless dent removal techniques can smooth it all out in a meter of hours, and, if the paint hasn't been broken, no repainting is necessary. This is why PDR also costs much less than traditional dent removal techniques- all it takes is a set of specialized tools to smooth out the dings, and a skilled, and very patient car technician.
Less showy than Smoked tail lights and much more practical are the Clear bras paint protection systems. These also lay down an additional, almost invisible layer of film over you car. They're applied to the front bumper, and areas like side mirrors and headlights, which are often subjected to small collisions with flying road debris, like loose gravel.
