Opinions on "Clear Bra"

[987gator]

I have the 3M clear bra on my 05 in Atlas Gray. It is nearly invisible, you only can see it 5' from the car at certain angles. It performs as advertised.

There are negatives. Waxing the car takes car at the clear bra edges. Wax can get caught there, and it creates a white line outlining the bra. If you do not carefully remove, you could force the wax under the bra.

THe other negative is on the side view mirrors. On one mirror, the bra edges have lifted maybe a half a milimeter. When driving with the windows down over 70 mph, there is some wind whistle from the seam.

Overall, I would install again, as it has saved my paint from many dozes of stone chips. Hope this helps

I have the clear bra on my Speed Yellow 2002 Boxster S. It was installed by one of the two prior owners. It covers the nose, rearview mirrors, the rear quarter of the wheel arches, and halfway up the hood.

It isn't noticeable unless you're within a few feet of the car, and I like the protection it provides to the finish. Wax on the leading edge isn't a problem since I use Zaino instead of carnauba wax or the like.

I would pay to have it done (and pay a little more to have it done right) if I were buying a car like this brand new.
