Default Clear bra?

Any one used one? Pros? Cons? Price?

My car is getting painted right now and I'm thinking about getting one after the paint cures.

I've seen them on other rides before, and the one thing I didn't like is that you can see the line where the bra starts.

Any bra will stop rock chips and keep bugs off, BUT they will scratch the paint and IMO look like crap

go the PPF route... its more expensive but it covers entire panels with no visible lines

PPF ( Paint Protection Film) most good tint shops do the service

Have it on my girls g35 and tl. You can't see it unless you stick your nose to the bumper. Bumpers still look new. Im going to have it done on my firehawk and c5 when I repaint the bumpers.

Sun Cap Auto Tint in Houston is who we always use.

Paint protection film is a great way to keep your fresh paint job from getting rock chips and stuff. I have it on all my cars. Call these guys if you want to ask questions and stuff. http://www.fastshieldusa.com
They are mobile in the Houston area and can come to you

Damn, can't see a thing on that c7. I'm definetly going to look into it. Any one know how long I should let the paint cure before applying? I supose I shouldn't wax it first, huh?

I've had it within days of repainting and had no issues at all. It's very durable stuff. My wife rear ended a suburban in her traverse and it busted out the grill but no paint damage at all. Just scuffed the clear film. So that alone I was sold on it from now on

Can you clear bra over decals? What's the average price?

I think it depends on how much coverage you get. Like just the bumper or bumper, hood, and fenders. Tommy is the guy I use, I've texted him at 11 at night with questions and he will txt right back.

Clear Bra is basically a transparent plastic wrap just like Vinyl ,, I've used it on areas where rocks get thrown off tires and it holds up well.. YMMV

Pros - You can see her nipples while she's wearing it.

Cons - Makes her **** feel like plastic.

Price - Not sure, only seen them on hookers, never tried to buy one.
