Default Clear bra & 35% tint pics.....

I think it looks great. I did the entire front fenders, complete front bumper, 98% of the hood (the widest 3M material is 48" and they couldn't cover it 100%), A pillers, top of the gas door (so I can hook the gas cap), rear fenders, headlights, fog lights, and side skirts. I also had the car detailed which is a must after dealer prep. You can see in the pics where the clear bra on the hood ends and I prefer that over the line across the middle of the hood.

And for those asking if the ski rack works the same way as the B6/B7 S4/A4's

My car is currently back at the clear bra shop b/c I'm having them redo the gas door (they didn't cover what I wanted) and another piece.

Default I'm impressed with the shine of the hood with the clearbra on.

Do you have to use any special wax or polish?

Default looks good...

...for some reason, your description made me think of this:

awwwww....

Default Re: Clear bra pics.....

car looks great! Did the installer have a kit or is this all custom? Do you know if a kit yet exists for the RS4? thanks

Nothing special, just take care of the clear bra like you do your car.

Default some of these pics, and how pristine my car looks now, are making me lean toward it, but...

...the lines still bug the **** out of me. have seen it on a variety of cars that are well taken care of, and that edge/line just keeps getting more pronounced over time.

have never seen a car with it removed after being on for years, but i find it hard to believe that there wouldn't be a noticable difference in the real paint that was exposed, versus clear-bra'd.

anyone done this and can comment?
