Clear bra pics

Can anyone with the Clear bra on the boxster show some pics with the clear bra? I would really like to see some pics before purchasing.

I heard from someone that the clear bra gives your tan lines. how to deal with that? a new paint job?

Thanks.

Search for pics of my car (bought it in May last year). My Box has the clear bra on all of them. Full hood, full front fenders, bumper, mirrors, front pillars. People can't see it even from two feet away, unless I point the two 3" edges at the top of the hood under the windshield (The rolls are not wide enough to cover that last part of the hood in one piece).

Theoretically, the film is not supposed to block the sun (UV) so the covered panels should fade with the uncovered ones. Differences may eventually show from washing the uncovered panels, and from them being exposed to the elements but those aren't nearly as bad as the sun. The best way to avoid visible differences after a while is to cover whole panels -- which is also good for making the film invisible.

Last year I looked at a maroon '97 Boxster that had the 3M protective coating, the so-called clear bra -- and it looked so bad that it wasn't even funny. Seems like that stuff doesn't last very long in the sun.

I've got the clear bra on my car. On the hood, bumper, front fenders, and the backs of all 4 wheel wells.

Check out my signature, can't see it, can you?

No tan lines. Awesome protection from rocks and debris. My Box came with it, but if it didn't I'd have bought the bra.
