As you can see from my photo, I have the factory vinyl bra, along with the two side mirror muffs. Particularly stylish on a Speed Yellow Box, don't you think?
Very effective against stone chips, but a bit of a pain to put on and take off. A couple of clips are installed inside the luggage compartment channels, which engage loops on the bra. The rest of the installation is via U-shaped clips that slip under the lower edge of the body at the front, and in the wheel wells.
The biggest problem is a flap that is supposed to be tucked behind the license plate frame. The only way I have found to put the flap in place neatly is to actually remove the license plate frame, install the bra, and then replace the frame with the flap tucked behind it.
The bra comes with a warning to not allow water to dry on the paint underneath the bra. Doing so is likely to cause dulling or discoloration of the paint that is impossible to remove. Any time I drive the car with the bra on it in snow (never)or rain (only by accident) I WILL get some water/condensation under the bra. I remove the bra as soon as possible, dry the car and allow the underside of the bra to dry completely before using it again.
I think all this is a reason for the popularity of the clear plastic bras that are applied directly to the paint.
