Partial hood, full front bumper, full headlamps and fogs and partial fenders.

With over 100k miles on my 2004, the clear bra has done it's job.

Thank you Francisco @ Aerotect.

I was gonna get a clear bra at Aerotect as well, but it just wasn't worth it for me.

I rarely get on a freeway, and even if I do, I always try to leave 3 to 4 car lengths of a distance between my car and the one in the front.

So far, I have no rock chips from driving on the freeway 4 or 5 times .

Besides, paying for insurance and premium gas is enough of a money drain for a full time college student with a part time job.

I'm sure lots of people do need clear bras though.

I had it on several cars and was not overjoyed with them. I removed the junk from my SL55 becuase it stained badly and I could not get the stains out. What really amazed me was when i took it off how yellow it became in less than a year. The car is always garaged at home and my place of business.

The installer was no help in the removal of the stains. Never again.

I've always wondered about the staining.

What company did you get yours from. Didn't they offer any warranty for you?

I'm sure in lighter color cars, it might not be as noticeable as the darker color cars?

Good thread b/c I want it for my next car.

I got it installed by a Company who is a frequent advertiser here. Without even seeing the car or the clear bra they said it was owner neglect. Enough for the lifetime warranty. The way it was stained, basically water spotted, it would show up on any color.
