Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
Its a personal choice of course. I've used one on both my old LT-1 (14 years) and now the Z (5 years) for a total of 19 years.
Pro: It keeps the front like the day you bought the car. The front of my Z looks brand new under the bra. Con: A very good wax job underneath is a must....repeated every few months. Never but never drive it in the rain or wash it etc with the bra on. Besides, I like the looks of the black bra , chrome wheels and the yellow Z are a good combination.

Not a fan. Granted, my Z's paint isn't worthy of protecting, but even on nicer cars that I've owned, I don't like bras. I just don't see the appeal.

Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
Not a fan. Can cause fading and paint damage from moisture and dirt under the bra if kept on for long periods of time. Must keep clean and dry. Not for everyday use in my opinion. However, can protect from stone damage on longer trips. By the way, the above is from personal experience long ago.

Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
Depends on a couple of factors.
1. Age 2. O.E. or bolt-ons. Usually the bolt-ons don't require as much support.  TomC 'Crabs

Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
I prefer a natural look, and believe all of the snaps, straps and hooks are a detractor to the beauty of the original equipment.
IMHO a bra should be used on long trips to protect from obvious road debris, etc. but otherwise it's not needed.

Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
I have a speed lingerie bra. They fit ok and are color coded. For long trips a must for Daily drivers a must.
The real question should be chips or no chips???? However if you dont wax or clean the underside they will marr but nothing wax cant take care of. I was wondering about going to a film product as it looks better however I have not heard too many ositive reviews about those products as well

Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
I have used the clear film bras on other cars/Harleys and they work great. But you have to make sure that the cuts and edges are on the body line so that they don't show up as much. Removing them only requires a heat gun or a hair dryer. I haven't had any yellowing or of coming loose.
