What we do
Paint protection film is a clear or colored film laid over the paint. It takes the knocks and stains the road hands out, so the paint underneath doesn’t. Light marks in the film heal with heat, and water beads off it. We fit 3M and Autobahn in gloss and matte, colored film by FlexiShield and GSWF, over as much of the car as you want covered.

From our customers
I recently went to VIP to have tint installed on a fleet vehicle, black car service SUV. I'm extremely happy with the results and I'll continue to use their service. Ceramic film is the way to go! The staff and owner are true professionals who educate you on the service & products they offer so you can make informed decisions, no hard sales, just facts.
I've been a customer with VIP Auto Customs for well over a decade. They do outstanding work. I've never felt pressured or upsold on their products which I find rare these days. I highly recommend.
I highly recommend VIP Auto Custom's for all your window tinting needs. It was easy to get a quote and set up an appointment. I appreciate the competitive pricing and quick service. My window tint came out flawless—no bubbles or imperfections! Thanks Robert!
Super easy process and affordable (I called about 10 places in the area and they had the best prices and soonest availability). Looks great and I appreciated how efficient they are.
The folks there were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I was concerned about how dark the tint will be and they explained the process that made me feel very comfortable about going forward. I would highly recommend these folks!!!
Great customer service, friendly and professional, super quick and efficient, and no pushy or intimidating sales tactics. HIGHLY recommend!
Before the
film goes on
Is PPF the same as a clear bra?
Yes. Clear bra is the common name for clear paint protection film: a film laid over the paint that takes the chips and stains the road hands out, so the paint underneath doesn’t. We fit it clear, in gloss or matte, and in color.
Which PPF package do I need?
Partial Front covers a partial hood, partial fenders, the full front bumper and the mirrors. Full Front takes the full hood and fenders. Track Pack is Full Front plus the rockers, A-pillars and roof edge, and Full Coverage takes in every panel. We talk it through, and you choose.
Is paint protection film worth it?
It depends on how you drive and how long you keep the car. The film resists impacts and stains, water beads off it, and light marks heal with heat. We explain the options without the upsell, and you decide how much of the car to cover.
What is the downside of PPF?
It only protects what it covers. Panels left bare are as exposed as before, which is why the packages run from the front bumper to the whole car.
Which PPF brands do you fit?
Clear film from 3M Scotchgard Pro Series, in gloss or matte, and from Autobahn: Incognito for gloss, Starke for matte. Colored film comes from FlexiShield and GSWF, in gloss, satin, matte, metallic or color-shift.
Can I go through a car wash with PPF?
Water beads off the film, so it washes easily. Ask us how to wash the film you chose when you collect the car, and we will go through it.
How long does PPF last?
That depends on the film line. Ask us about the manufacturer’s warranty for the film you choose, and we will go through it before you book.
How much does a clear bra cost?
It depends on the car, the film and the package, so this page lists no price. Quick Quote shows a starting estimate; staff confirm the final price. Financing is available for qualified customers through third-party lenders, subject to approval.
