The clear bra or 3M Paint Protector? I goes in like vinyl, i guess. Sort of a clear adheasive that prevents rock chips, bugs etc etc from damaging the paint on the front end of the car

Also interested in peoples' experiences with 3M's clear bra. Word on the street is that it doesn't yellow like other clear bras. Also, anything on how its cleaned would be nice to know. Plastic polish? Or paint sealants/waxes?

I've never seen it on an fbod, but I know a guy that has it on his 7 Series BMW. Looks like complete ***. It's all yellowed and cracked. Needless to say, he really regrets putting it on there.

DONT EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!! we get this stuff on cars all the time in my body shop. it sucks having to redo it. 1. if the cover has to be completely sanded flat so there is no orange peel, 2. if you dont buff it flat it will look like u took a roller brush to your car, 3. you have to make a line to stop around the edges of your bumper cover, which really makes it look shitty, and last but not least it makes your bumper cover look a shade darker then the rest of your car. your better off getting a black bra and using it when you need it only.
