I just purchased the Porsche bra for my Cayenne TT. I got both pieces on quite easily and quickly. However, when I went to close the hood, it would not completely latch. I took off the hood piece and no problems. Anyone out there with experience? I will try again to put both pieces on next weekend.

I'm not sure about the Cayeene, but on my 911 washers need to be installed on the hood latch in order for the hood to close properly (it came with the washers). Did the Bra come with any additional hardware?

Does it also have difficulty without the nose / fender section removed and the hood section in place? If so, then the latch mechanism may need to be readjusted.
Having purchased more black bras than most women, I can state that the invisible bra is a MUCH better choice. A bra is way too much work. It needs to be removed, cleaned, dried and reinstalled. It is also sensitive to temperature, which makes it even more fun during the winter.
On many color vehicles a black bra provides a nice visual contrast, though.

Hey doc, those type of "bras" will ruin your paint and are very high maintence. I have a clear bra on my car in the pic it is awesome, no on will know it is there but you. You can only see a line at the edge and no big deal.
Some people will have the entire hood done so you cant see the line and this is fine also. I would get rid of that bra before it beats your paint to death!

Ifin you go with an invisible bra, mine has the front of the hood, the bumper, the front of the fenders, the headlights, the mirrors, below the gas door and the door edges. On my MB I had behind my rear wheels and the fog lamps done.
The whole hood is a better choice.

BTW, I agree with the earlier comments about the clear bras...much less maintenance to achieve the same effect of protecting the paint...

I have the invisible bra that dealer had installed for my and love it! 28K miles and not a chip, and I do a little driving on snow/ice packed roads.

(BTW, If I were you, I might make the same trade considering the conditions--i.e. for the price of a professionally installed clear bra, you could REPAIR the damage and have an entire new front nose paintjob after 60K miles).

My one regret was NOT installing a clear bra. Now I have dings and chips all over the front of my CTT. I'll probably end up getting my front end squirted and then I'll have the clear bra installed. It's a worthwhile investment - just do it.
BTW when I got my wife a Prius I had the clear bra installed immediately. What a difference.

Going fast speeds on roads that were sanded for winter can throw up some larger stones that film bras won't stop.
