looks like poo
Instead of buying a crappy looking bra, same your money for a paint job :shrug:
just a rough number how much would a whole paint job be?

A new paint job for the car, or just the bumper?
Car=3-4k
Bumper=2-3 hundred
It really depends on the shop. Go around and get some quotes.
prepair for everyone to rip on you for wanting to use a bra on your car ... but bottom line, it protects the front end of the car. My fresh paint was chipped up heading out to SZ because I couldn't use the bra ...
either way I only have it on the car when I am driving long distances on the highway ...

Yep. Eventually, I'll be repainting the front end and have a clear bra installed.

So you can just keep repainting it everytime it gets chipped up?
Yeah, that's cost effective.
Bra costs like $70. You put it on for a drive and take it off when you're done. It's quick and easy to put on and off, folds up easy to be put away in your trunk or wherever.
You don't put it on to win car shows or anything. It preserves the looks of your bumper when you do want to go to a show though.

Where is the owner of the bra? Not in the back seat is she? :laugh:

my se had clear covers on the front and rear bumpers. need to get that redone when i get my bumpers repainted. damn orange peel
god I wish someone had used a bra on my car when they had traveled with it, my hood is stupid chipped up, I had my bumper repainted due to serious chipping, but my hood is another story in all of its entirety.
Basically, get a Bra if you have fresh paint and travel a lot. OR you can get one of those invisibras, which you stick on your hood and cut to shape, those work the best IMO.
Painting your bumper can be done fairly cheap if you find the right shop, the one that did mine dude a decent job, but they took longer than they said it would be. They also told me it would be substansially cheaper if I prepped it for paint myself, which means I had to sand it down. If you have a power sander, pick up a couple of packs of 220 grit pads for it. and go to town.

3m clear bra ftw lets uv rays through so once you take it off your paint is an even match not darker where the poo bra used to be

If you're keeping the "poo bra" on long enough for your paint to fade, then you're a poo brain. :crazy: :nonono:

from what i have heard from a ford GT guy and there forums the 3M clear bra costs ALOT of money and turns yellow after a while. but that is JUST what i heard.
