ExpressThis13 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 get a regular bra and run one week on one week off it will cut down on how much abuse your car takes. I realize its not the most appealng thing you can put on cars but without getting a clearbra this is your next option that can be removed and reinstalled unlike a clearbra.

Sizzle Chest Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 ^^^This. About the only thing you can do John. GM sells one and so does speedbra or something like that. Put it on during the week/long trips and take it off and put it in the hatch for cruises/weekends/etc. They are so low they 'catch' alot of road debris. Also in front of the rear wheels by your brake vents will start to get chipped/sandblasted from the debris the front tires kick up. Next time around bro: clearbra! (I just don't like the looks of it on dark colored vehicles-you can see the lines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpressThis13 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 take it off and do a paint correction with pc or flex and itll match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkmansHomeboy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 A clear bra is the answer. The clear bra will save you the work of taking a bra on and off risking any damage from removing and putting it back on. If the clear bra edges are wrapped as they should be you can hardly tell there is one on the car. I dont doubt the story about the 350z but my Z looked great after 35k miles with a clear bra on it. I would recommend that anyone have two of them installed over the life of the car. If my car was 100k miles I would have been on my second bra already. Why? You can remove the old one, do a paint correction and then install the new one that should last you the 50k more miles and the car should still look as good as when you took it off the lot. When I sold my Z it didnt have a rock chip on the car. The bra more than paid for itself by keeping you from doing resprays and such. A clearbra to me is the 1st mod anyone should do to a car you care anything about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Anytime I drive my cars on the interstate for any distance at all I put my Bra- front end cover on, saves a lot of rock chips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
