Awww man you ruined it... I'm not interested in her anymore...


But seriously... I recommend the clear bra... Your car is Orient blue it'll be pretty hard to spot the clear bra. It would be easier to spot on a white and black car any other color is fine. I have it on my Electric Blue MINI and no one can tell that its there, unless I point it out to them, when they are standing in front of the car.

I mean the price for a leather one is what? $200? $300? for $200 more I would get the clear one and have it on all the time, always protected... No need to worry about taking it off for car washes, for the rain, or whatever... its there wash and wax as normal.

Thanks for your input, but I'm curious about somthing, when a stone hits the clear bra does it tear it or damage the service? I have heard that it can be repaired if it gets badly torn, I guess I'm just wondering how it will hold up?

Absolutely not... its VERY stong.. it will not rip or tear. I can Mail you a sample piece... (if you're in the US of A) Hawaii? ummm alright I'll consider that too

But ya it will not rip or tear. If the stone is too large it will leave a dent on the hood tho. Cant help that but your paint will be ok...

I run into rocks every day as I can hear it bounce off the hood and mainly the windshield... and so far only 1 tiny paint chip right above the bra.

One time my dad was driving and the truck ahead picked up a LOT of rocks and he heard it hit all over the hood and windshield one hit so hard it cracked the windshield (*small crack*) my dad surely thought there would be huge damage but amazingly there was NO paint damage to the car or paint at all. It left rock dust on the bra tho where the rocks hit so hard but that wiped away fine. The tiny paint chip above the bra is not from this incident... I dont know when that was.

Anybody have pics of their E60 with clear bra installed? I'm curious to see how they did the hood and how much of the front bumper with or without seams.

Thanks!
