I liked mine when I had it on there for a few reasons. One of which was the way it contrasted with the white of my car. Another reason is that I didn't get any stone chips or badly stuck on bug carcasses on my bumper/ header panel. edit, plus it was an easy fix for the severely chipped front bumper I had.

Now for the bad, those things act like a lint trap on a dryer trapping all kinds of dirt and debris on the underside. This will scratch the paint. The other bad part is fading. Your paint will fade some in the sun regardless whether the car is stored inside most of the time. When you remove the bra, the car will have tan lines for sure.

See my post here and you'll see what I mean. Ignore the chipped paint on the bumper, but you can see the amount of dirt that gets trapped and the fading.

Also the TC hood I have on there now was silver and the car had a bra on it. Not only was the silver paint faded but it was cracked as well under where the bra was.

Just some food for thought.

I had one on my 97 Bird (car was black) and my corvette. Did wonders for protection but I never really liked the look. While working for Mercedes Benz met a guy that started a company which made a clear invisible bra. It more or less is a see thru cover that is applied directly to the car and adhears to the shape. Similar to the protectivesheet on the display of a new cell phone. Anyhow once it was dry you couldnt tell it was there and it protected perfectly.

Yeah, I was just thinking about how I dont like the look of bras on cars, and how a clear one would be pretty neat, and then I read the above post.

I rule the “protection” idea completely out..
Why protect it by not letting anybody see it, what exactly is one saving it for?
 
Now if somebody put the bra on when they drove then took it off for car shows or something like that then yea I get it.. But I can’t say I have ever done that (and I have had bra’s) and I have never seen anybody do that.
Sooo since what happens is they go on and never come off until they are trash (that’s when you find what 5.0willgo found) then it would make since to me to do something that would last longer than Vinyl…. Basically last as long or longer than the Paint.
 
Let’s see the paint fade under THIS BRA :flip:

There aren't enough letters in the word "no" to properly convey the no-ness of my answer :hick:

Seriously. Rock chips, nicks, dings, etc would still look better than hanging a big black diaper off the nose of your car. I agree with Jim - what's the point of protecting a beautiful front end if you're going to hide it behind something that's hideous?
