clear bra?

[camaro5]

I hope that's a factory RPO...


Corvette dudes still debate this now.

Biggest arguments: Clear bra is always on

Clear bra dulls the appearance. It's more noticeable on different colors.

I got the Genuine GM traditional bra.

Did someone say bedliner?

Else, how about this for temporary use?

Yep. Read only good things about this spray on stuff. May be the new way to go.

The 3m clear bra is great. A buddy of mine has it on both of his C6 Corvettes. The only issue for me is the seam which if you look you can see pretty easy. Some colors show more than others but at the end of the day I think it is a good tradeoff since you don't have to worry about the car getting torn up by sand and rocks. Only word of caution make sure you go with a reputible shop because if the guy putting it on does not do a good job there can be issues.

could you not just stop the bra when it meets the hood and fenders? where there is already a line

def recomend the clear bra for the camaro. hers an example of how good they really our.
from a distance. not noticable.


Front up close, yea u see a little but its flawless


like others have said u just gotta watch when u wax. and remember u get what u pay for. some clear bras leave u with a bad orange peel reflection while others leave u with a almost perfect reflection(pic i posted)

Rain-X is great for protection against bugs and tar and for those days you just want to burn rubber like a crazy man.

Depending on which package you get, $250-400.

In this pic it looks like someone has keyed your car across the hood. How is that "not noticeable"?

I had to zoom way in to see it, it's way further up the hood than I've seen them before.

Really? That's the 1st thing I noticed when he posted that pic. I first thought someone scratched the hell out of the hood until I seen the closeup pic and seen that it was actually the bra. I too was expecting the bra to be lower down on the hood. The bra itself looks great but that edge kills it for me. The OCD in me would make me get the whole hood done just to get rid of that edge.

belive me its only noticable when u LOOK for it lol. other than that it works amazing. o and some colors show it more than usual. that previos pic is not my car btw its a friends. example
