I posted this poll to get an overall opinion of the clearbra. I have been thinking about a clear bra for my car but not sure. Please poll up so I can get some feedback.

Thanks

My son has one on his new turbo Porsche; it's looks great. And, it will always look a lot better than rock chips, etc.

I have it and I highly recommend it. I also have it on my MINI and its been close to 3 years on it and it still looks good as new. And I can tell you it DOES work. It has save the car from rock chips countless times.

Truck from achead was throwing rocks at me sounded like rain... it managed to not ding or dent the hood / bumper but cracked the windshield. After you can see traces of rock debries on the clear bra where it hit but that was it. Wiped off clean.

Here are pics.

Question... has anyone had a car with the clearbra for any length of time? Does it fade your paint, over time? My car will be black sapphire metallic... and I am purchasing it (keeping it for at least 5 years).

How does it feel to wash a car covered in plastic ??

In Europe, there is almost none which does this... A lot people never heard about it...

I don't have it, and the car has some chips But - I think the car looks better without the plastic ! you can always repaint the front spoiler and hood, pretty cheap

You can't tell the difference unless you walk up close and feel it.
