What do you guys think about oem bras?
I just recently started to commute in a highly commercial driven (lots of bigrigs and crappy roads) area and washed my car a few days ago and notice several chips. Some almost as large as 1/4". Besides a clear bra, i just picked up an oem lexus gs bra and was wondering what fellow enthousiast felt about this. Would like to hear opinions as to looks, how well it works and if it damages your cars paint in any way. Thanks as always Cyco

I will like to install one on my car. Was recently painted and noticed several small chips too.
About the bra, it depends if the color match the car color.
Ex: a blk bra with a blk car seems ok
Please post where did you find yours.

ok, how much for the clear bra, i just got a sec to look at previous posts and aparently it is the way to go. BUT what if i already have the chips and am not willing to repaint the front bumper and mainly my hood. and i have seen the clear bras and, i hope no ine gets mad at me but i can see a difference in the color(up close given) on the car. still not sure what to do. i could keep it for long trips (as my dad and friends do in thier exspensive porsches and benzes do) or what. i know it looks somewhat ugly ok ugly but what the heck i am getting HUGE chips. how well do the clear bras work against boulders (large road gravel) in keeping the paint intact? thanks again for for input.

if you are going to use a traditional bra on your car, be sure it's clean before you put it on for a long trip. a traditional car bra can collect dirt and other grit while you're driving and the bra can shift or flutter and grind this dirt/grit into your paint job.
I know that sounds crazy but this is an issue that is talked about on other forums as well.
