Anybody put on a Clear Bra?

I'm thinking that I want to protect my car when it gets here as much as I can, and I plan on having a clear bra put on it. Has anybody else (possible with Cyber Grey) done this? I'm curious how noticeable it is.

They can look a little flat under certain lighting conditions because it is not as reflective as the paint, but done well it's not really noticeable to most people at first glance. I would recommend a professional install if you go forward.

I had it done professionally and you can't tell. It is Not dule at all. It is so clear that it actually looks like the paint. Best investment I will ever make for my car. I can't stand to have those rock chips that happen over time. There is no other way to prevent them besides this. DO IT!!!!

2010 Camaro 2SS

When I went to pick up my Preordered Camaro last June, my dealer had already installed a clear bra and had tinted the windows and had added accents which boosted my price up by $6,000 over MSRP. Take it or leave it he said; so I took it anyway and now I like the Protective Bra on the front and it is hardly noticeable. It was installed professionally. Now I think it is a wise investment.

Anyone else having problems with dirt getting up under the edges of the clear bra? :(

no probs here with dirt, and I also have it on our CGM and looks great. Had it professionally done also. I don't have that kind of patience, and definitely wanted someone with experience doing that.

This is definitely something you should do near the beginning of having the car. I have a black Camaro and anything and everything will show up on black. I had mine done professionally and it looks amazing, never looks dull or anything and you cant tell it's on there at all unless you get right up on it and look at the dividing line where the bra is and where it isn't, that's the only way you can tell. I highly suggest getting it done, totally worth the money!



It will show up the easiest on black and I can still barley tell.

I also had a professional put the clear bra on mine. Like the others said, you can't see it's there except really close up. It's guaranteed for life also.

Did you guys just have the front of the car done, or did you go down the sides some too? I'm worried about the tires throwing up rocks and chipping the paint on the sides as.
