Colgan crested mirror bra

Dont waste your time on those type of bra's, they collect sut and dirty particals and act like fine grade sandpaper, get a clear bra... its the only way to go.

I disagree. The clear bra's sound great, but the plastic can get pulled up when the car is getting washed. Also, because they are held with adhesive, when a rock hits the car it still chips the paint but the bra holds the chipped paint in place until you remove the bra and find your hood needs a new paint job.

And the crested hood bra has a small vinyl window where the car crest shows through, or at least on the old ones.

I have a Clear Bra on my 2004 Accord which has held up very well. But for my Boxster I decided I wanted something even less conspicuous and got the Armorcoat, which is a spray-on. The installer removed the hood, valence, etc to spray them so there are no seams on the edges of the piece. The seams where the application ends across the hood and fenders are very inconspicuous. I'm very pleased with how it looks. We're taking our first road-trip starting this afternoon for the next week and I'll get a better idea of how it performs - but I've heard it's as tough as the Clear Bra.
