I'm gonna have to see what one looks like with the whole hood being wrapped. I will def. go with a custom setup I don't want a pre cut kit.

When I have this done, I know who's name to search under.

Hehe, I spent quite a bit of time going through the research for my friend Unfortunately, I'm still lacking the information/experience on the long term usage of clear bras. Everyone tells me that there aren't any problems, but I haven't witnessed it myself. It would suck if you get discoloration from UV on uncovered parts and everything covered still looks new; I like a uniform wear. I'm also told you can just wash and wax it as though it wasn't even there, but as far as I'm concerned you can ALWAYS tell.

From what i've read on this the bra is supposed to allow uv through so you won't see the difference. Plus if you put a bra on your gonna leave it on until you put a new one on from the rock chips and such.

That's what I've heard and read as well, but again, I haven't witnessed/experienced this yet. Just wanted to make sure everyone knows what they may be getting into.
