My Ride: Now Driving a Freakin' Prius!

2004 545i | SMG | White/Black | Sport | NAV | Logic 7 | PDC | Fold-down Seats | Adaptive Headlights | Cold Weather Pkg | Clear-again Bra | Mud Flaps | Bluetooth | Coat Hangar | Aux Input | All Weather Mats | 18"X8.5" BBS RK w/ Michelin Pilot Alpin's (winter) | New steering rack @ 1.2K & 17K miles| Software V.19.1 | B&B Exhaust (vrrrroooooommm!) <---Click.
Well, I finally "pulled off" the damaged part of the clear bra (between the kidneys).
What I thought was dirt in the imperfection turns out to be a "CHIP" in the paint!
I cut away the damaged part of the clear bra but now need to repair the chip.
Question is... Am I any better off by having the clear bra? Maybe I should have saved the $500 and put it aside for chip repair?
I called the dealer and they said that there is no warranty for stone chips.
Hmmmm.

That's a big chip....I have the clear bra also and I wondered the same thing...maybe I should just have just saved the money for chip repair.
You must have been hit with a something pretty good size/weight to do that damage. I guess there's a limit as to what a clear bra will protect from.
Did the clear bra get a hole it in it also?

Jimbo- yes, had a hole through the clear stuff. I thought the dark stuff was dirt in the hole, turned out to be a chip.
