I generally don't like car bras

Because stuff can get under it and scratch the paint. And you need to clean it regularly.

I would do a clearbra. Then you wouldn't have to mess with it.

I wouldn't use it.

Had one on a car for 2 weeks during the summer. Did a real nice job of scratching the clear coat. I'd personally would take it out to the street and beat it with a shovel.

use only during highway driving...

dont let dirt get under it, I've seen em do more damage than good. But if you keep it clean and waxed underneath then it can protect from stone/salt chips. Keep it tight! the vibrations can scratch/abraise the paint. Only use it when you need it.

Re: I generally don't like car bras

most people dont like bra's and if they do long trips they go painters tape style and it works like a charm i did it for my dads chevy last year when we drove down to ga i mean it turns some poeples heads going wtf but it truly does work imo
