Well I have had a "transparent bra" on my black 04 Prius for about a month. I paid 500 for it (bumper, headlights, hood, and front door edges). Here are my observations..
1. There is a different material being tested by Transparentbra.com. Its a product from a company called Lumar (I think).
2. I had the car done and was not happy with the outcome and they removed the 3M material and used the Lumar material. Black is the hardest color for them to work on but the Lumar product seems to be clearer than the 3M product.
3. I recommend that you DO NOT try to do the job yourself. It would be a total waste of time and money. I could see a lot of frustrated do it yourselfers (like myself).
4. You can see the line on the hood (within 5 feet)... especially when the car is dirty. I would hope that someone will use a wider sheet of plastic to do the whole hood at some point (though more expensive).
Overall I thought that Transparentbra.com did a very good job standing up for their work. I also had the windows tinted (using non metallic tint for the gps and cell phone reception).
I really like the tint job. It's a medium tint and I think it improves the lines of the car (of course it's in the eye of the beholder...). Check out the pictures. My garage is usually a bit cleaner though.
