Having said that, I think there are some cheaper alternatives to the 3M clear bra.? I think JDN has one from a different vendor -- I'm sure he'll chime in soon...

Seriously: My 3M clear bra was $500 installed prior to delivery by the dealer (or whoever they subbed it out to).
Not sure how much the leather one was (but it's worth every darn penny)

You're a better man that I, realty. So was Din.
By the time I got through snapping all the hooks on a leather bra, I was usually sweaty or pi$$ed. Taking it off is also a pain, but not as much as putting it on. It was not like that one hand trick I learned to use on the back seat.
Also, I with the leather bra I was constantly worried about the sandpaper effect on the paint when running high speed on wet days. The bra took a pretty good buffeting and I just knew that the water getting underneath had road slime. So far, I have not regretted the clear bra, but we've got miles to go before a final call can be made.

I actually prefer the clear bras.? They do their job but don't obstruct the appearance. ![Blink](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/blink.gif)

I am currently getting a clear bra installed on my car. Getting it tinted as well.
I'll try to post pictures as soon as I can.
