Pictures below as promised. In fitting this on for the pictures, I was reminded:
1. It makes the hood more difficult to latch.
2. It is a tight fit and needs to be pulled and stretched to get on.
3. The clips are well insulated metal which grip to the front spoiler and wheel fender lips.
4. Mine seems specific to the S model.

I have an NOS early bra still in the Porsche box. I wonder what it is worth now...

Someone told me the other day but I forgot...

For some reason, I prefer no bra at all!

I prefer no bra at all too!

More seriously, I put the bra on the car for many years to go to Frenzy.
Never had problems UNTIL few years ago.
We drove in the rain for few hours and it was still raining a lot when we got to the hotel and I left the bra on the car for the night.
I shouldn't have...
The morning after when I removed the bra, there was two whitish spots on the clear coat...
One around the Porsche badge and another bigger one on the drivers side fender. All this under where the bra was.
I freaked out but it was to late...
The front end of my car has been resprayed in the past. Any relation? Can't say.
I went to Darryl's place near by (anyone who has been to Frenzy knows him!) and ask him to try to buff it to see if it would fix the problem.
He tried that very softly without great success.
When I got home I decided to try it again but with a more agressive clear correction product and... It worked!
Well, I would say that I removed maybe 90% of the problem. I didn't want to go any further to make sure not to go all the way through the clear coat...

Any way, since that time I never put the bra back on the car...

Bump!

When managed properly this can be a ding and bug mess saver for the non-film protected cars.

If anyone wants this, shoot me a PM. I'll donate for shipping cost (from Europe btw!)
