If They Sold A Clear Bra For The Whole Car Would You Get It?
And what would be the most you would pay for it?
I would get it and pay up to $2,000 for it.

+1 There seems to be a lot of misconception about clear bras.
They provide some level of protection. But door dings, wind shield chips, door pillar chips, paint oxidation, etc. are still an issue. All cars look like crap after a while. Cling wrap won't make much difference.
I commend the marketeers of the clear bra. Getting people to pay $500-$1000for cling wrap is pretty funny.

I believe in it but wouldn't do the whole car. Nobody ever implied that it would protect against door dings. I believe it does a great job of doing what it's advertised to do. Protect the front of your car!

I've chosen not to get one for several reasons:
- Price. I could repaint the front end in a few years for a similar outlay.
- Look. I'm very into caring for the paint on my car, and I don't like the plastic shiny look. Using one of these precludes me from polishing and waxing my PAINT. I can do same to the bra, but it's certainly not going to have the same result.
- Maintenance. These things will show wear over time as well. If I have to replace the clear bra after the edges yellow and it gets torn up, it's the same difference as repainting as far as I'm concerned.

I would never get a clear bra... Can you imagine never getting to wash and wax your car??? Some of us love the feeling of pride you get when youve just waxed your hot new ride! Id never give that up for a crappy sticker!

Can you tell there is a clear bra on this...
#9
Yeah I don't think I will get one when my car arrives. I would assume my current Lexus from 2005 uses the same kind of paint and it's not bad. Kind of a pain to get the bugs off the front bumper sometimes though. But again having the clear bra means you have to do more to care for the part of the car with it otherwise you could damage it or reduce its lifespan or effectiveness. I'm willing to take my chances with some good touch up paint if and when the chips occur. I only drive a few miles every day anyway. I get more damage from whoever washes my car than from driving it.

there was a car in a parking lot with a clear bra on the front...its was approx 5 years old you'd never get that stuff off...it was baked on, opaque, looked terrible. The paint surrounding it looked fine.

Now thats the owners fault. If you started to notice your clear bra changing colors and looking like crap. wouldn't you change it or take it off? I would!

if there are any accidents happened, you need to fix the body, paint it, wait for X months to have the paint to cure, then put in the clear bra.
and you definitely can tell the difference the new and "worn" panels, unless you replace the clear bra for the whole car.....
another $2K? nah.
