lol sorry I had to.


On a serious note... alot of window tint shops also install clear bra's. You might want to check with a local place that tints windows about doing the clear bra. The actual "LeBra" type bra can be pretty harsh on the paint while trapping dirt behind it and scratching paint. Just FYI.

I'd pick Buschur over Victoria's Secret just because Al is their number one fan! "Bro, you gotta get the padded one bro!" I love EvoM.

But to contribute: I would just get a clearbra. Why pay to put some ugly sheet of thick cloth on your car and cover up it's sexiness (haha, another boob joke, but I'm serious too)

I had a local bodyshop insta"l my clear bra on my hood and front bumper. Warrantied for as long as I own the car. I also use a quick detailer to help prevent any uv damage if possible.

I have seen some crappy clear bras, but they were on lighter colored rides, if you have a WW like me, stay away from the clear bra.....nevermind yours is blue, lol

I've had my clear bra for nearly 2.5 years on my Rally Red and have no signs of uneven paint fade nor fogging of the clear bra.

Though my car is garaged, so it's not subject to sun all the time.


A full clear bra: full bumper, hood, mirrors, and headlights cost me about $630.00.


IMO it's a great investment; it allows you to drive the car aggressively without worrying about paint chips.
