Default Bra recommendations?

Aside from the clear bra applications, what is the best option\mfg\place of purchase for a removable front bra?

Anyone have a used one that they don't need...maybe?

TIA...

Removable bras will damage your paint. If that is what you want, have at it. Clear bra is the only safe way.

Yes and around a size 32c or 34c would be fine with me. Oh and a pair of 36" legs.

I have the factory removable bra and I think it works well. I believe Porsche resells the Colgan bra.

If you heed the warning not to let your car sit out in the sun with a wet bra, you will not get the clouding the link mentions.

In addition, keep the underside clean so it doesn't scratch the finish when you put it on or take it off.

It takes me about 2 min to take off and about 5 min to put on, and it will stay on at highway+ speeds.

Regards
BD

I have used removable bras on a number of cars. If you use them occasionally such as on longer trips, start with them on a clean car, and take them off if it statrs to get wet, in my experience, they do exactly what they are intended for. And they are a lot less expensive than the $800 or so for a professional application of the 3M clear version that is admittedly superior.

I have used the RB from Porsche and have had good succcess. My problem withthe CB is that if you need some body work it will need to be removed and re-installed resulting in more $$.

If anyone wants a dark blue Speed Lingerie bra and mirror set, I still have them for sale. When I bought my '02 last March, there was no sign of any paint damage from the bra. I just didn't want to deal with it.

I had roadblock installed, which is a type of clearbra... The only DOWN side is that these clearbras in doing their jobs, SHOW a lot of marks and such that just won't buff out... I have a couple scratches and spots that won't come off mine.

On the plus side, its on the bra and not the paint!

my experience exactly, especially with the love bugs in florida
I still think the clear bra is way to go. my dealer cuts me a pretty good break when I want a panel replaced that is too marked up.

Clear protective film is very helpful in protecting the paint from road rash. We are currently removing film off of a 997RS, which came back from the track that hit the sidewall on the bumper and fender. Fortunately the film protected those areas and no damage came to the paint.

Speedlingrerie only goes on when she's going on a long highway hall....comes off if she gets wet......and definately at destination.
For daily and track, the clear is the ticket
