Can anyone honestly answer me why the hell they would put a clear bra on their car?
It does nothing. It chips the same as paint, and then looks like shit, just like chipped paint does. And it never comes off. you cant just peel it off like they show you. it destroys the paint if you ever try getting it off.
its just an ugly raised portion of your car. it doesnt hold color, it collects wax around the edges, and then looks even worse.
then you have the problem sgt is dealing with, if any part of your car gets F'd up, you cant rematch whats on there.
why not just run paint, and then pay to have it repainted if your that picky about your paint..... thats what i did. ever notice how the front of my S always looked like new...
Just venting. i hate clear bras. bad. to each his own i guess. LOL

well of course they are only going to tell you the advantages.... they sell the stuff. I have it on my car and it seems ok, I dont like the fact it has an orange peel type look to it. I did not know it would mess with your paint if you take it off. The wax getting stuck does suck.

It would definitely only cost maybe 4-500 dollars for a quality repaint of the front end, every 4-5 years. Heck my S is 8 years old now...Once I get really sick and tired of the shape of the paint on the nose, prolly get it repainted.
