Question clear bra on a leased car?

Hi,

Simple (and maybe stupid) question:

Would you put a clear bra on a leased car?

If you know for sure you're going to return at the end of lease, then I wouldn't. Why protect something you know you won't be keeping? I'm having a difficult time just spending money on a vinyl wrap chrome delete for my leased IS.

Probably not worth it for a lease car. Maybe mods would be worth it, but not something for protecting the car, especially if you aren't 100% keeping it for more than the lease.

This is really subjective and is up to you, the owner. I can tell you that the paint on our cars is incredibly soft. Within the first few months of ownership, I had rock chips galore marring my front bumper from mostly highway driving. If you're ocd about keeping your car looking in great shape, especially the paint, I recommend it. It's the same as spending on a mod. You don't know at this time if you're returning your car when you're lease is up. Why not protect the car for the time being? The paint film gives me peace of mind though there are still hits to it. Just do the front bumper.

As above, it's same logic as the folks who say if it's a lease why not put regular gas in?
