Great pic, i can't tell at all. How long have you had it on? is there a specific bra you used? How much did it set you back?
Thanks, i will look into getting one put on. I appreciate the your advice and all of the additional pics.

One of the best mods I've had done. 
I HATE chips and deterioration due to bug guts and other road crap. The 3M clear bra will control these problems like nothing else. It's been on mine for almost 10 years and the front end still looks brand new (she's not a daily driver though). The only visable lines of a correctly installed bra is wax build up at the edges. Any new car I buy in the future will have protection like this installed immediately.

The "wax buildup" isn't actually that bad. It just turns the edge of the film slightly opaque. Paying particular attention to buffing protectant off the edge is usually sufficient to erase almost all signs of demarcation. It's most noticable on a black finish. It will show on most colors only if you're real close and looking for it. Three feet away and it's all but non-existent. On a white or silver finish it's simply not visable. There's all types of chemicals out there to remove protectants but the edge of the paint next to the film is then compromised. Know that you can apply protectants to the bra without harming it in any way - it's every bit as durable as the clearcoat on the paint. It's been almost 10 years since I've done any research on the clear bras but I do remember that there were 2 major manufacturers and 3M was the preferred choice among most buyers. Some people claim cheaper products has a tendency to turn "yellow" over an extended period of years when constantly exposed to strong sunlight (never saw that myself). I also remember someone later producing a spray-on version (like a thick clearcoat) that caught my attention but I didn't check it out because mine was already covered.

Thats for the reply. There is a lot of useful information here. Now I just have to find someone in my area that can install it.
