New to the forum today. Just bought a new 7th gen yesterday and I wanted to know if anyone has used either of these products as front bumper, hood, etc protection on a 2012 Max SV? If not can you please recommend something that you know works well and is easy to install? I prefer clear type of protection and not a leather type bra.

1) Rvinyl = Rvinyl Performance Films
2) 3M Scotchgard 8mil Clear Pain Protection Film
3) True-line Silver Chrome Hood Wrap

 

I got the clear protection kit from eBay seller nusolis.. It is a really good price and I have had it on for about a year now and looks great without fading..it is not 3m though.. But a very good price.. Do your research and the decision is ultimately yours on what you buy..
On another note.. Isnt the maxima a freaking nice car!
Welcome to the forums and enjoy..

 

did you install it yourself?

 

I had the 3m installed by a dealer in my area. It is a great kit and the film is top notch, I've had it on my other two cars. Just make sure you take care of it and get a good installer. It's a small price to pay for the protection!

 

I've had clear bra installed on 3 cars as well. First have the 3M clear bra installed on my wifes 2010 TL. Just had the front bumper cover, front beak, & two pcs just above the headlights done. Nothing else and they charged me $350. I had a quote from another guy for $700.(too much)
The second time I had it done on my 2011 4Runner. But this time I bought the Mega Kit from eBay seller nusolis and had my tint guy install it for me. Did everything on the truck and he charged me $300.
The 3rd car I justhad done was my wifes 2012 Maxima SV. Again bought the Mega Kit of E-Bay and had my tint guy install it again. He charged me $250.

Here are my observations concerning the choices and what you will need to decide. The clear bra on the TL was laser cut and fit perfectly on the car. i only requested certain parts of the car to be done. The clear bra kits I bought from E-Bay are good quality, but the fit is not as good as a laser cut one. Remember they say you get what you pay for?
I wanted the entire front of my truck done because it has a lot more frontage and my first 4Runner took a beating with many chips in the paint.
With the Maxima, I told the guy to do the entire car except the front fenders and hood pcs because did not want to see the lines of the clear bra across the fenders & hood. Wife doesn't put a lot of miles on the car and it is always garaged.
My point being is that for me the kits I purchased off of E-Bay were satifactory for me. If you are **** about it you will want to go with the laser cut clear bra, but be prepared to spend $500-$800 dollars to have the car done with all the pcs installed. I mean headlights, front A-Pillars, the whole 9 yards.
If it was me, I would rather have the front of the cars painted every 5+ years for $400. I got all three cars done for $900 which could be the cost of doing justone car.
Sorry this was so long but just wanted to give you my input and honest opinion.

 

^ depends who you get it from from ebay...i have had the kits both for my benzo and the Max from Nusolis guy on ebay...great service and great product! No fading or yellowing...on benzo i had it for about 4-5 years, on max about a year now...laser cut, perfect fit, great price!
