CLEAR BRA (are they worth the cost)
Have any of you done this and is it worth it?
My worry is the fade and that it will look crappy in a year or two. Any issues with these? |

mine's going on 2 years with a 5 year warranty and it's looking good. On a white or light colored car it might get a little dirty along the edges I hear.

I'm getting mine done next Friday. I've had it before on other cars with no problems or fading. Definitely saves the paint from dd nicks.

I've had mine for 2 years and still looks new. I don't have a single rock chip in my paint. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Had mine done the second I bought my car. One of the things I listened to was the cost of Daily Dings to my beautiful car. I have a cyber gray metallic car and you have to look very, very closely to see that there is a clear bra. A great investment considering getting touchups would cost.

I had the VentureShield protection installed about a year ago. The entire front grill/bumper, headlights, foglamps, mirrors, pillars, and lower rocker panels. With the window tint it ran me almost $1,000 and worth every penny! It's almost invisible and gives you piece of mind when you're on the road. Caution though, it's only as good as the installer so check around for a reputable installer and ask for references! Go out to my garage to see the pics but you won't see my lines lol!!

Had mine done before I even picked it up from the dealership...after seeing the slight paint damage on my 2010 I didn't hesitate! Especially on a black car!

Put my clear bra on as soon as I got the car. Had the front done, all lights, side mirrors, door sills and the gill area. Car is still perfect, no dings and the bra still does not show. Well worth the money

I took the liberty of installing my own clear bra on the front....it was a pain in the butt even with my wife helping....and definitely not a professional level job.
That said it still looks great...no dings and you can barely see it (only the edges and thats only when you are close to the car). I'd do it again 100%

What are the must have spots to get protected on this car? So far, I'm thinking only the front fascia and the gill area, but I'm having thoughts of doing more. Those with experience, do you think it would be wise or not really worth it to do more areas (ex. front fender, hood, mirrors, behind front and rear wheel).
Really looking for advise and I thought, who better to ask? Thanks
