Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
For a long road trip on the highway is would seem prudent to protect the paint. Otherwise it is a personal preference.

Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
IMHO, Bras are for women.
The clear plastic sheets are probably a good alternative if you are a committed waxer, but I've driven my ZR-1 for 17 years , for over 50K mi. and only collected a couple of little chips. So what, it's the "patina of age", easily touched up. I've got a white/black car and I don't like the look, (sorry, but the car pictured above is exhibit A). DISCLAIMER - The opinion above is my humble opinion alone and is not intended to offend other owners that may have applied various decorations to their cars, including, Bras, multiple additional emblems, decals, vanity plates , chrome accessories, wings, mudflaps, flames, or fuzzy dice. My design philosophy is simply, "if it doesn't make the car faster, stop quicker, or handle better......restrain yourself and leave it alone." But, of course, this is not meant to besmirch the taste of other owners who feel the need to festoon their cars with the above mentioned regalia. More power to ya. |

Re: Bra or No Bra?.....
Do you honestly think I put this on my car because I think it looks good or would enhance the appearance?The thing looks like the bumper needs to be painted from a distance,if it saves the paint it works for me.For those that dont mind the rock chips,so be it,my car has next to none and thats how I chose to keep it.In your opinion should people do away with seat covers,car covers or anything else that helps to protect the car from wear?
