Speed Lingerie Bra

I would be worried about that causing a lot of scratches in the clear coat Dust and grit will inevitably work their way under it and then even minor movement of the bra will cause scratches. On a black car they will be very apparent.

 

Had one on my Porsche many years ago and took it off for the above reasons among others. Eventually I saw a line at the bra due to fading, grime etc. Why not a clear bra done by a reputable experienced shop? Looks way better and protects the paint.

I don't really understand the reasons against a clear bra. Do a bunch of rock chips look better than a bra? In my opinion no. I think a well done bra is really had to detect - certainly a lot harder to detect compared to a bunch of stone chips...

 

In addition to paint damage that it will cause we had many customers with overheating and poor A/C performance due to air flow reduction.

 

I used one years ago on one of my cars. Never again!!!

It will scratch the paint up real bad over time. They are so "last decade" now.

 

I hate to say this but I'm not a fan. Years ago I had one on my black Trans Am and it scratched the clear coat. Be careful! But I guess you don't have much of a choice if there are no shops near you that can install a clear bra. No downside to them btw...my entire front clip is covered.

 

About once a month we buy a motorcycle that has a bra on the back of the tank (to protect against belt buckle scratches). The first thing we do is take it off and throw it straight in the garbage to keep it from ruining anyone else's paint.

Then we buff it out for about an hour. Sometimes the hazing goes away, and sometimes it doesn't.

I'd remove it.

 

I never understood these protections... IMHO it's a burka for a Ferrari!

If I get small scratches / chips because of rocks and other stuffs when I drive my cars, then: I swear, most of the time I forget it one day after, and if the damage is important then I make an appointment with my body shop.

 

I have a car bra for both my cars....they go on before a long trip and come off as soon as I get there. Removing swirls in paint is much better than dealing with rock chips....
Make sure before you put it in, like a car cover, the area is clean and wax'd/polished

 

Hate to say it but these bras are more like so three decades ago. Very '80s.

 

Personally, I'd much rather see a car full of stone chips than one with a clear bra. I'd rather see all the paint completely blasted off the front of a car than to see one with equipped with one of this "bondage" bras. MAN!........ are they UGLY! But that's just me. I don't like plastic covers on my living room lamp shades either. Your taste may vary.

 

You can get clear bra kits now fully cut for any car. try this 3M ScotchGard Clear Bra and Paint Protection for your car
Any decent car wrap or vinyl logo shop should have no trouble installing these kits. Or even try yourself...

I have a clear bra and disagree with Moz...done right I would much rather have a good looking front end over chips and scuffs.

 

Then you've never seen a good install.

 

This is the one I got for my car a few years back. It does keep the stones from hitting the front bumper,headlights and bonnet....but it looked absolutely horrible. I onlu used it 2 or 3 times and stored it away...

I had one on my 1980 RX7. Used it for a couple of months, left a mark on my hood. Never used it again. They are very hard on the paint, and IMHO f'ugly.

 

It is ugly and I don't advocate for leaving it on....but I'd rather use it occassionally for the 12+ hour drives, especially in winter when rocks, salt, and everything else gets kicked up....

Many people use blue painters tape now....I think that looks just as bad. I usually use my front bra, and the painters tape on the side mirrors...

 

I like the way it looks (But I am so from the 70's) and its just something to be careful of, I had one on my Dino (back in the 70's) and it never harmed the paint because I was careful.

I think I will get one for my 360

 

Yikes!

 

I used one on my 911 and when I sold it the front bumper was as new, not one stone chip. Yes, with it on it look horrible but when I put the car in car shows, it displayed nice. Ironically, the guy I sold it to put a clear bra on the very next week...

 

Why not put a clear bra on before you mount this? That way it won't get the rub marks and you can buy the Clear Bra material and do it yourself

You could probably sell it on eBay for $300 !
