Clear Bra....Well worth it..Check it out....

I was driving on interstate yesterday, when a Dump Truck passed me. He was doing about 80mph. The truck was empty and some small gravel flew out and hit my car right on the front edge of the hood.

The clear bra definitely did it's job. There is no damage below the bra, not even a ding.....I'm having the hood piece replaced next week....

So my tire insurance and now my clear bra have completely paid for themselves in the 9 months I have owned her...

I love the Clearbra.
I've had them on several of my cars now.
Wouldn't get a new car without putting one on.

Mine took a big hit on the bumper the 2nd day I had it on. Looks like it got cut, but no paint damage. So much garbage on the roads these days.

Will those marks come out? Have you tried Plexus yet? Just wondering...

Does anyone know what it cost to get a clear bra instralled? Does it affect the car's paint in any way such as uneven fading in relation to the rest of the car? I'm in Orange County, any recommendations?

Thanks,

I paid $250 just for the bumper, and it's hard to see it on my car. It won't be perfect after a few years, but as a lease I don't care

Thanks,
It shouldn't since the car is clear coated.

Cost can be anywhere from $650 to double that depending on how much you get done. I have a full-hood bra and love it! It does not effect the paint in any way. It does not have UV protection so fading should be the same and it has a 5 year warranty against yellowing. In OC try Ultimate Shield in Orange. They did a good job on my car. Tell him that Randy the guy with the Gray Coupe and full hood sent you. He should know its me.
