Anyone wearing Speed Lingerie?
The Speed Lingerie stuff looks to be pretty high quality... is anyone using this product in lieu of a clear bra?
Any comments on attachment method, durability, other issues would be most appreciated. It's not cheap, and I'd like to make an informed purchase decision.
TIA,

You could not pay me to put those on a Porsche finish! 
A clear film is the best way to protect the finish.
Put one of those items on and you'll be sanding the finish down! Dust,dirt gets lodged in them, and you'll notice the finish will start to dull around the edges and other areas.
I get several of these cars in for detail and whip them off and show customers why the finish looks the way it does. Once I'm done, they go and see Armorglove to film the cars finish. I end up tossing these in the trash each time!
If that's what you want on a fine finish, well you have been warned!

Deanski

Oh that is so bad...sorry, I'm not being nice but...take that sh*t off! NOW! I'll bet you put plastic covers on your leather sofas. And with that awesome color....I agree with Deanski on this one. Maybe put those on your wife?

That's why once I put one on my Z (eons ago), I was stuck having to wear it all the time because of all the scratches from having it on the car. It was like a Darth Vader mask. If you dare to take it off, it's hideous underneath.

Hey! Been using bras for years and never had that problem. I follow a careful regiment,--and things are STILL perky after all these years!
After all, they're only there to catch the BUGS!

Thousands of guys have/use them and complaints about scratching paint are NOT typical on these boards.
If you're gonna do a 100+ mile trip on the highways you put the bra on. All other times (Sunday drive, to office) you leave it off.
IMO, getting a bra that matches the color of the car is a bit much; it looks like weird undercoating cr*p where nice paint should be. Besides, who bothers to make a fashion statement (same color as paint) when all you're doing is some long distance highway driving surrounded by trucks?
Just get a black one by Colgan.

Thanks, MMD. Just what I was thinking. I certainly would not use it every day, only for Interstate road-trips...
I understand the value of the clear bra, guys - but I'm not convinced that I like the look. Hell, I might as well wrap the car fully in peel-coat (like the Ruf RT12 in the September Excellence).
OTHO, I'm not going to drive from Chicago to Detroit on I-294/I-94/I-275 without at least _some_ protection...
Thanks,
