Just wanting opinions on the clear bra. Thanks!

I didn't see a reply to this question in here, any opinions on clear bra on this color?

i think it's a great investment, it's one of the things i should've done first since i got the car... but it's too late now, i'll have to refinish the whole front before doing a clear bra

i don't think you'll notice the paint difference unless you look real close, but i would recommend doing the entire bumper, hood, sides and mirrors... and not just the 'nose' of the car

I have a clear bra on mine. The previous owner told me that she had to remove it after a few years because it turns yellow after a while. Personally, I don't even notice it now that I put another one on, but the install is a major PITA!

If you look really closely you can see the clear bra line about half way up the hood in the pic below... usually it doesn't show up, but wanted to find a pick where you could actually see it.

^ Nice its barely noticeable. They do yellow overtime though, and that would stand out like crazy on a white IS =/

Thanks man... I will probably just change it again in a couple of years.

BTW, your IS looks clean dude... nice and simple... very nice.

I think the IS looks good stock anyways... just plan to do minor mods myself.

The previous owner just threw it in with the car, apparently she bought 2 originally so she had an extra one. I've seen them all over ebay though. It's definitely a 2 person install, not looking forward to having to replace in a couple of years.
