I had a 3M clear bra installed on mine.

I don't care for the leather/vinyl ones that strap to the front. They scratch the paint.

Leather-vinyl bras can scratch the paint. I would rather go this way:

Clear bra is the best solution out there. It is all time protection and covers anywhere on the car (not just the standard hood fenders, and bumper) including the headlights, mirrors, and the highest impact area... the rocker panels and gills. Do a search for clear bra and you will find numerous threads discussing the various films.

Did much research on this. Here's what I decided:

Get bra
3M Clearbra
Custom install by professional
Do front bumper, mirrors and side gills AT LEAST
If you are with in 5h drive of Dayton OH, Julius Poa will do a FINE job for you for $795

Look at the pics. Can you see any lines?? (Sorry one is up side down.)

I bought a LeBra for mine for a 800 mile road trip when I move to Indiana next week. Was just going to use it for long road trips and that was it. Needless to say, it's going back. Thing seriously hooks to the FENDER of the car, directly on the paint!!! Uh no thx. I'm chancing the road. Drove all the way to the Florida Keys last week and didnt get even a tiny scratch or rock chip. I think she'll b ok. I'd love to a clear bra but don't have the $$ for it right now.
