You'd be surprised (depending on how you drive) how quickly one chip can turn into a whole slew of black freckles.

does it noticeable if I put an extended hood bra on my Tiag car? will I still see the hood bra line?

You only notice the clear bra if you are right up close and at the right angle.

See, in these pics you can't see anything.

looks nice, how does this affect the 'shine' of the wax? like for zaino, it really enhances black, especially after numerous coats, will there be a big contrast?

Nope.

Just think of the clear bra as clear coat. Wax it like you would the paint.

Will the edge/corner of the bra peel over time like a tape? can we remove it easily if it gets peel?

Just got mine done with VentureShield. It is stronger than 3M but similar in all other ways. The new Venture has the clear coat also.

The installer is the key. I had Ryan from AutoPaint Guard in Tampa install mine. He is a perfectionist. He has an M3 and has installed on many high-end cars.
