They are located near the Scottsdale Airpark (not too far from Mini North Scottsdale). I dealt with Ryan and he can be reached at 602-694-6979.

They do the clearbra install and have recently added window tinting to their business. Really nice guys, been happy with them. My boyfriend had his GP clearbra install done by them as well & was happy with the outcome.

These guys are the ones that MNS and all of those other dealerships located near MNS use. I'd go through them directly; that way you will not be paying any dealer mark-up's by getting the dealership involved.

(They do have the door handle protection that you ask about available - just had mine done a few weeks ago)


Any idea if they can do full hood coverage? Hate the bra line and this should eliminate the possibility of uneven fading(....I hope)


Not sure if they do, but wouldn't be suprised.
Give them a call! :)

I guess a better question would be can they do a good job at a full hood bra? As you said, $$$ can pay for virtually anything but doesn't necessarily get you a quality install.

I guess the better honest answer would be.. I dont know. I havnt seen a full hood clear bra job from them.. ( or anyone actually ) But I can answer by saying this place has done 5 of our cars.. never a issue. While doing my last one.. they were doing a lambo, Bentley, and a carrera GT.. they all looked good too..

The question to ask the vendor is if the clear bra vinyl is available in sheets large enough to cover the bonnet. Otherwise you're looking at a multi-piece layup. I know opaque vinyl is available for a full wrap of a MINI like Mike @ AC did, but I don't think that's the same material as the clear bras.

Im pretty sure the material is large enough. My brother had the whole hood of his GTR done and it looks great. I believe it is the same place that did my MINI. Airpart Auto Detail. In scottsdale. The guys name is Ryan. I inquired about the whole hood on mine and they said they could do it but i just had the front 20" or so done on the hood due to cost. They said it was expensive for the labor for the whole hood install with the complex curves.

Thanks so much for posting this, Dan. Mark just finished tinting the windows on my new mini this morning, and he did a great job for a very reasonable price. And what a talker!!! :)

What kind of tint did you get? Which windows did you do? What does he offer? Do you mind PM'ing me the price so I have a ballpark figure.

I was driving today and I cussin' up a storm b/c the sun was blazing down on my left side all morning. :x
Need to get some tint ASAP!
