Hello, 1980 called, they want their vinyl back!

Nice! Considering one myself for an upcoming tour. Errr, I mean one for my car.

Some sheepskins, a 'Let's Play in my Porsche' plate frame, and you are all set.

with clearbra i thought these bras were extinct!

I had one like that in the late 80s/early 90s on a 944, and a tiny bit of rubbing at speed, and the on/off depending on rain etc eventually left fuzzy marks on various the parts of the paint. I'd suggest getting a really good clear bra paint protection system for the car. Below is a quick photo of our 981CS with full Xpel clear bra on the entire hood, front fenders and rockers.

Thanks for all the recommendations about the "clear bra." I don't like clear bra's...that's why I bought the vinyl bra. After a few years the clear bra looks like s**t. Also, when I wax my car I want to wax the paint not plastic.

This post was to inform people of other alternatives than a $1,500 clear bra...not for people to tell me I bought the wrong product. If you like your clear bra that's great...I don't.

I bought this bra for long highway trips and it works perfect for the intended use and unlike the clear bra I can remove it when I get home.

Does it clip in the front or the back?

Don't get me wrong - I am not a fan of clear bras either. On my silver Spyder, with fully wrapped frunk lid and bumper done by the best in the business, it was clearly visible as covered paint from 10 feet away. On the next car I decided to accept stone chips that are typically only visible up close, and save a couple thousand bucks...

I was not a fan of clear bra but after having it a while now I have to say I'm a converted fan. Yeah you can see it a little but it's not objectionable when one considers the effect, even my mirror backs are done up. Dino 944's report on the other units is so spot on it made me chuckle. When you leave it outside moisture can build up under the bra too, they have to be carefully cleaned as well otherwise they occasionally accumulate micro sized pebbles which unseen can scratch; it looks pretty cool on your car though and it is "your car".

Those things do more damage than protecting

Vinyl bras are too 1980s for me.

I DO like my Xpel bra, though.

Just had an Xpel Ultimate clear bra put on my new (to me) 981 BS, by the same installer that did Dino's car, Unique Car Care in Stoneham MA. The guys did an excellent job on the full frontal, rockers/side intake panels. The car came with a half frontal kit and of course there was a stone chip 1/16 of an inch above where the half bra stopped. They touched it up before applying the new full bra. I gotta say it looks amazingly good.

That was hilarious!! I didn't know they still made those.
