I bought a bra for my Cressida once. I think I used for about a month all totalled in ten years. If you wash your cars as often as I do they become combersome to take off and put back on. They are ok if you know you are going to be travelling on a rough or gravel road otherwise not that practical.

i'd say get a pro to install it, it's not the easiest thing out there to do it in your own garage

Clear bra is the only way to go. I would have done this but I don't have the money to repaint the front bumper, hood, etc. before applying the clear bra.

You can either go online and search for a dealer close to you, there are several films out there, 3M, ventureshield, llumar, Avery. I am having the 3M installed next week. As far as installing this yourself, I wouldnt feel comfortable attempting it as I have heard that it is difficult getting this stuff to fit the contours perfectly and a great installer can do wonders to make it look good. I wish I was closer to Aerotect so I could let them do the work

When shopping for a clear bra look for someone that can show you work they have done and experience. Shopping for just price on clear bras will almost always get you a job thats a mess.
