Default Does yours wear a bra?

I want a bra for mine. Anyone have problems with theirs? Noisy, flappy?
Currently bidding on the new one on Ebay. I have been driving the car a lot lately and want to protect the front of my car.

Thanks

Pics too if you have them
The Ebay ad does not have pics on a car

I prefer the 3m clear guard.

Bras are good - just take it off when it rains. Sorry no pics ...

Wife yes, car never. Clear bra only on the cars. Despite what leather/vinyl car bra manufactures claim they all cause rub marks if you spend any time on the interstate, especially if they get wet.

I've looked at the product from one of the Rennlist sponsors, Xpel? Can't remember at the moment and not enough time to search. Looks like a very good and not so expensive product.

I don't have one, but have heard that if you don't take it off and clean on a regular basis, they can do more damage than good. I guess dirt can get under them and wear on the paint.

Yes I have an OE Porsche bra. I don't use it all the time just once in a while. My car is always garaged so dirt isn't an issue. I probably wouldn't use it if it was a daily driver.
Fitment is excellent and no flapping at all at ANY speed.

As others have said the clear bra is really the way to go.
The regular bra is ok for ocasional use, but a soon as it get dirty you are better off throwing it away.

I have a new,,,, no make that an old never been used Colgan Bra in a box that I'd trade you for a metal wristband for my 928 Laco.

New tags still attached... I was surprised how it even smells like new when I opened the box.

Following are a few pics:

I don't like the look of the vinyl bras.

But Tim from Tahoe said clear bra would look good on me...

Maybe it's the alcohol but that second last pic reminds me of this :

Whoa Dan! - what you get up to on the interstate with your wife should stay private - don't you think....

But since your're having so much fun already - you might as well just go ahead and get her to try the clear bra too...

I think the clear film is the only way to go, the vinyl stuff always seems to leave some kind of mark, even if its just the uneven fade from the sun.

I have an OE bra that I have used for the occasional long interstate haul. I would not use it everyday for all the reasons stated above, but I like the protection on the highway. But it has to be kept clean and removed once you get where you're going or it can do some paint damage.

I use to like it, and my GT was wearing it almost permanetly, but I really felt lonesome in that way : neither wife, nor friends, were enthousiast about this... thing
Perhaps because my car is dressed in a light color paint, might looks better with a darker one?
Now's sold.

Cheers,
Michel
