Good, bad? Yes, no? Your thoughts and opinions please.

I bought my father a clear bra for his A8L audi and it has really been worth the money. I will put it on all my new cars.

It does not look good on white cars tho. Even when the application is new there is a yellowing that stands out on white cars.

If you don't like it, you can remove it too. You'd only be out the costs, with no harm to your ride.

My two cents.

I agree with ATL Markus. I've had all my new cars have clear bra installed. I just bought a Carrara White Cayman and I'm getting mine installed hopefully this next week. Since Carrara isn't a true pure white like Ibis from Audi (my last car) I think the yellowing will be very minimal to non-existent. Here is a picture of my Audi TT with clear bra:

Darrin this is an often discussed question and if you really want to read a lot of views you are encouraged to search the previous threads out. Let me know if you have a problem finding them.

I wish I would have but put it on the back burner. It is now probably too late becauase I have some knicks and scratches on the bumper. If it is very clean still I would highly advise diong it. Drew

i had my clear bra on within a week of purchasing my cayman

if you have a pristine front end then definitely !!

I am probably in the minority. I had a clear bra on my Cayman when I bought it. I took it off. It reminds me of covering your sofa in plastic.

I think it all depends on where you live. Here in Oregon they gravel/sand the roads during the winter. It lingers year round and chips happen. So Clear bra is a must if you don't want severe pitting.

If I bought another CS, I'd have it done while still at the dealer. The trip is to get someone who knows what he is doing and who uses the right product. I had it put on after about 500 miles and the car already had quite a few nicks. Most people can't even tell. I've had a couple poeple, while looking at my car, ask if I was going to get a clear bra but on (it was already on).

I have the 3M Bra. The dealer put it on. I paid $300 for it. They wanted $800. I said no way. They cried a little, but saw it my way. I like it. Lots of protection from flying debris on the road. With the Cayman being so low, we catch a lot of it. One thing, it will scratch easy when cleaning dried sticky bugs off it, so be careful when washing. I do think it compromises the aesthetics slightly, but I'm willing to trade off to save the paint dings.

I say absolutely, but here in ATL front ends really get beat up with road rash. I had my 993 and Audi both "trashed" pretty bad on the front end so I had my Carerra White car done before I took it off the lot. FYI, if you didn't already know, they can do the entire hood (that is, no line) with one piece now. They also did the side view mirrors, under the door handles, rear door lip, and back quarters (low) as part of the "complete package" for like $1295. Expensive I know, but I was happy to get it.

For those that have it on a dark exterior color, how noticeable is the line on a typical installation?
