Default Clearbra... Yes or No?

My car arrives next week (!!) and I'm trying to decide whether to put a Clearbra on it right away... What are the rest of you doing? Clearbra? No Clearbra? Why?

Thanks!

A lot of track use? Yes, no doubt because it will protect the paint.
No track? No, because chips will be rare and can be touched up easily.

YES. The car is very low and susceptible to rock and debris from the vehicles in front of you. My car has full front, doors, and rear bumper. Roof not done. Worth it for piece of mind alone. What color is your car?

Far less than the extra lard I'm carrying around.

For what it's worth, both of my GT cars - yes, even my race car - has a full condom wrap.

Just my opinion, but after driving the car for four months I believe the bra is necessary to prevent chips. The front fascia is massive and low to the ground and the front of the rear fenders (right behind the doors) get pelted if there is any loose debris on the road. I think a clear bra is a pretty safe investment from a resale perspective. Again, just my opinion. Good luck!

Clearbra? No.

Either wrap the whole thing, or go au naturale.

Partials are the reason Planned Parenthood is so busy.
